lol are boxing fans still all anal about mma taking over as the premier combat sport. Sergei these days is a bit far from being a top fighter.
Thank you. It was a good analogy. The title of this thread makes it seem as though it is a big deal that an 18 year old can out box a seasoned mixed martial artist. I was simply pointing out that it wasn't that big of a deal, and backed that up with footage of a 17 year old out boxing an elite boxer.
hahah dont entirely agree with your first comment but yea sergei is far from top competition these days we need aleksander emelianenko in the ufc!
Aleks lost his last fight to Peter Graham, a good kickboxer (you're a Hari fan so I'm sure you know :hey) but nowhere near a top MMA fighter.
hahaha yea alek hates leg kicks. um yea but i do think that aleks hands are pretty good and his chin is good and havent seen much of his sambo but i think it would be quite good.
