Arlovski is currently a top 5 MMA heavyweight. Very fast and heavy handed, and is planning to box in the pros while also competing in affliction. I think he could make some noise in the current HW division. Thoughts? [yt]j1k-lw70gpc[/yt]
wow i didnt know he was going to move into boxing it will not work out though, he is fast and heavy handed but his boxing ability on a whole is no match for the top guys lateral movement, head movement, foot speed, ring generalship and from what i have seen of him he can get caught alot by guys that have not realy got fast hands compared to the likes of wlad, povek, sultan these guys have boxing inteligiance ill tell you right now haye would blast him out of the ring
this is a realy good thing though because it will show those stupid fans that these ufc fighter that have so called 'great boxing ability' ala arlovski that they do not compare to real boxers and i hope he gets knocked the **** put hard and they realise this if a boxer goes to mma thats his problem hes gonna get submitid but if a mma fighter comes to boxing there gonna get ****ed up man i respect mma but when it come to boxing ability guys like chuck liddel make me laugh because if they were in a boxing match against and half good boxer they would get exposed
MMA guys don't really transition into boxing. No doubt he's dabbling with boxing to sharpen his hand skills.
I am looking forward to Andrei fighting in the ring insteed of a cage. Im really curious how this is going to turn out but full marks for having go.
