Roy Jones on MMA and Boxing

Hmm. Jones actually speaking a bit a sense?

I'm surprised.

 

Wow. So much sense from Roy.

I love how everyone in boxing recognises its flaws, blame it on everyone but themself and yet don't realise they are a major factor in these flaws.

Guys like Roy, DiBella, Mayweather, Arum, Warren and anyone else who has commented on it.

 

Boxing needs less weight divisions, no belts except for one per weight class, all fighters are forced to fight one another.

 

Exactly :good

 

I remember seeing RJJ in the crowd at UFC 53 in Alantic City.

 

Cool, one thing i disagree with is that if he hits someone before it gets to the ground its over. Its not gona happen .

 

yeah because a MMA fight is never ended when ssomeone shoots for a takedown and gets knocked out, that never ever ever would happen. Take the pro MMA anti Boxing goggles off.It could happen, I say there is a 10% chance of it happening, with someone like Roys handspeed.

 

while I do agree, well not the weight class things. There is a big difference in 3-4lbs when someone is 135lbs and under, it really is a big deal.

The 1 belt per weightclass would be Pimp, no doubt, but MMA doesnt have that. Just in Zuffa you have Pride, UFC, and the WEC

 

Thats different. UFC, Pride, WEC is not the same as WBC, WBO, IBF ****. With MMA they are separate enteties up until recently with Pride and UFC. But Pride is pretty much dead so its still separate.

 

how is the UFC and Pride thing any different? It may be changing, but I dont know, now that Page-Hendo isnt for the belts.

Fedor is called the world HW champ and so is Couture.

 

You gota get those boxing goggles off.. First of all, anything can happen. I'd give a chance of 3% tops of RJJ knocking a good wrestler out coming in with a shot. Thats 1 ko out of 33 take down attempts. He's fast, but he's not a knock out artist. Not to mention RJJ is made for take downs even though he's awesome to watch in a ring. Its not easy to knock someone out with one shot, which blind boxing fans tend to believe. They might catch them and stand than back up with a good uppercut, but they will NOT have time to make it a solid one for a KO.

Now, the point im making, if you gona come in to fight betting on 1 punch KO. You might as well not come at all.

 

Because one org doesn't allow you to fight in other orgs.

 

Actually RJJ is a knock-out artist. He had chilling power at 160 and say he was fighting at the WW limit in the UFC he'd knock guys out if he was to catch them perfectly. So I'd give it a little higher than 3% myself.

 

then how is Hendo fighting Page?

Mayhem has fought in different orgs at the smae time, Trigg as well. Fedor is the Pride HW champ and just fought in Bodog. uhhuhh yeah. Once again MMA purists being uneducated.
