Ive seen Fedor put some pretty good combos together in many of his fight's and that's just with his boxing. Fedor does have some good boxing and he hit's pretty ****ing hard regardless of his KO percentage. The man can throw bombs standing and posses the most vicious G & P punching in the world. I was even impressed with the little shadow boxing combo he threw just before he stepped in the ring to face Sylvia. You could see from that alone that he had power and knew how to put punches together. Then 5 minutes later he wrecked Big Tim with some hard punches. Also Freddy needs to STFU about striking. Hes a boxing trainner and not an MMA based Muay Thai trainner. Freddy saying that Fedor has no boxing technique is an insult. Freddy will see how good his boxing is when he drops Arlovski then finishes him. I would'nt be suprised if Fedor dropped Arlovski and put him to sleep tbh.
Fedor swings like a mad man and doesnt protect his chin, but its hard to KO the guy and if one of those hooks lands there is a good chance he will ko his opponent so its good technique for mma awful for boxing.
Everyone of his punches is for KO. He said it himself. You don't need much boxing technique in MMA because of the gloves you need to be the first one to stun your opponent and then its all you. His punches are called "Russian hooks" They were developed from poor scoring receivers which forced fighters to turn their fist so that palm faces outward. This way you can have much more distance to your punch, they will loop in a way to get behind your opponents gloves landing lead knuckles first. While it scored the points, it also turned out to be an effective punching technique, but its quite hard on your shoulders and elbows I think.
It is I tried sparring and hitting the bag with that method and i really had a hard time with it. Igor Vochanchyn(bad spelling) was the first Russian punch like that so I assumed it was a Russian thing because not many guys punch like that.
I personally think Fedor is a good puncher especially in mma. You do not need stereotypical textbook punching to be a good puncher or effective striker. Even in boxing every boxer has there own flavor whatever works works simple as that. Fedor has quick hands and has good natural pop in his punches. Bottom line is Fedor does what he needs to win whether its hurting his opponent standing up then submitting or whatever he gets the job done. Roach is becoming a str8 up attention ***** btw.
It's true that technically he could do with some refinement. Don't agree with some of what Freddy says though.
And how would you know? Everyone should remember that Fedor is right now as great and dominant as the biggest boxing legends out there. Or even bigger. The man has 0 defeats in a sport where it is more common than in boxing that you loss now and then. That have happened to all other great fighters today, mostly because of the "problem" with style vs style. Fedor has taken a **** on that problem and almost slaughtered most of his opponents.
Because I've trained many boxers albeit at a low level. Nevertheless, I know what I'm talking about and would happy to debate the technical flaws to back up what I'm saying. Ali was the greatest heavyweight of all time but his boxing technique still left much to be desired. Technically Ali could be horrible. Being great and dominant has absolutely nothing to do with Fedor being a technically flawed puncher. You've simply got your pants in a twist.
Oh but I don't think you understand what I mean. Who are YOU to define what good or bad technique is? THere's no right or wrong, there's just some dude that's the greatest MMA champ ever and then there's you with your ideas.
Fedor has no technique yet nobody can go toe to toe with him...nobody can hurt him with a strike...and well, nobody can BEAT him. Shutup Freddie.
