By your logic this means that Ray Mercer is in the same league of Fedor since he is fighting Fedor's competition. Does that mean since Kimbo Slice beat Ray Mercer and that lightheavy weight beat Kimbo they are both in Fedor's league?
****ing hilarious. This set back MMA 100 years. That guy got what he deserved and so did MMA fans with their constant bashing of boxing. If a young boxer with quick feet and blinding handspeed fought in the MMA he would dominate those bums:yep
HAHA yup! MMA enthusiasts will play it down, but a 48 year old 90s Heavyweight contender just steamrolled former UFC Heavyweight champion in a matter of seconds. Fantastic! Best news I've heard in ages, I've rewatched that video about 50 times. :good
Props to Mercer for the quick devastating ko but Tim doesn't use a ground game anyhow so being an mma match was actually worse for Tim ,mercer still has power and Tim being a stationary target and 310lbs? what the hell is that.
Sylvia's fault for taking himself out of his own element. Only a complete moron would believe that he can fight a world champion boxer's fight. Sylvia should have kicked, grappled, rather than give away all his strengths, to trade punches. BUT...it does show, in no way shape or form can even elite MMA guys beat a boxer in a battle of fisticuffs. In a boxing scenario, Fedor, Lesnar, Barnett, all of them would fall to Mercer, who hasn't seen his prime since 1995.
Tim made the gross mistake of wanting to trade punches, rather than use his strengths in kicking and grappling, simple as that. In a boxing scenario, Mercer would beat all the top MMA guys. But had Sylvia opted to kick and shoot from the start, Mercer would have lost. Tim's pride got the better of him, thinking he could beat the ex-ex-ex-ex-ex WBO champion in a battle of punches.
Not suprised, mercer hit him with the same punch that Couture did 20 times. An overhand right, one punch KO. Its not like Mercer out boxed or out wrestled him. The bell rang Mercer threw one punch (a punch that has ALWAYS landed on Silvia) and it was over. Props to Mercer I guess but for being the only person to KO Silvia but not a real suprise. I think I can land the overhand right on that doofy fuker.
****in funny eh? I wonder what ol Timmy is going to do now. This whole fighting thing isn't working out for him right now lol.
What for, this WWE crap isn't boxing, not even close. As Scar says it's human cockfighting. **** like this has nothing to do with boxing. Anyway, glad to see a former boxer 10 years or more past his prime showed what a JOKE this crap is.
That's what happens when you put these UFC bums in with real fighters, even one's who are YEARS beyond washed up.
