OT: General UFC/MMA/Boxing - Round XII

[Kriss E]

I mean wilder is legit up there but was made a fool by fury.

Wilder is a champion boxer though pretty sure he'd KO Ngannou.

oh ya guaranteed.

but what fury did to wilder in Match two is what I think some good boxer would do to ngannou if they ever fought.

Now that we've got a decent sample to look at, I think it's fair to say that a good amateur boxer will beat a good pro MMA fighter at a boxing match more often than not ( and the other way around obviously). They are just two completely different sports.

Depends. I think a top 10 guy in mma who is a striker would beat guys like jake Paul.

He basically did nothing vs a timid 39 year old wrestler. Imagine a strike first guy. Toast.

It all depends what your primary tool in mma is.

 

[ClasslessGuy]

Would GSP today beat Paul? at boxing

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Romero is same at any weight. Never enough offense. He should retire.

Yikes. He thought his 3 round fight was a 5 rounder. This guy lol

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Would GSP today beat Paul? at boxing

Definitely.

 

[Redux91]

Are you kidding me with that heavyweight championship fight!?!?!
WOW what a fight!

I think Usyk just pulled it off!!
(Unification might have to wait a bit lol..)

Punching in MMA is entirely different than it is in boxing, very different footwork and defence.

Fight of the year candidate for sure. Usyk silenced that crowd pretty quick.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

So happy with that result, Uksyk is for real
No doubt in my mind that Fury would have destroyed AJ now too, can’t wait to see Usyk v Fury

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Masterclass from Usyk.

I was scared of the robbery, but surprisingly, they all gave it to Alexander.

Tough end of the year for England, the Euro and this...

I was shocked by Usyk's power, he can clearly hurt anybody in that category and he's so technical. Fury is technical for a huge guy, but Usyk is on another level.

 

[Redux91]

Fight of the year candidate for sure. Usyk silenced that crowd pretty quick.

That was AMAZING, what an ending to that 12th round too to cement the W.
Just what a performance seriously, such an impressive fighter and smart, it's not like he was a nobody either this guy unified cruiserweight so theres a pedigree there and man did it show tonight
That was an unreal and fun fight, right off the bat too
Very impressive Oleksandr, good for you bud

That's the 2nd time I watch Joshua lose all 4 belts, and I just cant ever seem to root for the guy lol, feel bad sometimes
Now we dont get Fury v Joshua for unification but .. let's be real
Fury would of MAULED Joshua, it's just evident now, I dont think he could of ever standed a chance

I dont see Wilder beating Fury either, so maybe Fury Vs. Usyk in a year could out of nowhere end up being a greater fight than we were expecting to unify the 5 belt's lol

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Fury vs Joshua is useless now, we have all the answers.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Fury vs Joshua is useless now, we have all the answers.

It's would still be a giant draw in England obviously but it does take some of the narrative out of it. I have zero doubts they could fill the Wembley and do a huge payday with it though and in the end it's what it's all about.

What a beautiful fight. Watched it with my bestfriend and we were both at the edge of our seats. Technical as fok for a hw fight.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

What a first round between Merab and Marlon... Incredible.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Diaz too old and not in same shape. Good on lawler for being super aggressive versus a bigger guy.

 

[dkd]

Would GSP today beat Paul? at boxing

Would Gretzky today beat Paul Byron? at ping pong

Lol god
The first 15 seconds of that fight was like "oh no.."

Probably needed the money for Cheetos and weed.

Volkanovski is not normal. He could’ve been finished twice and managed to get out of two deep chokes. Unreal.

Ortega was gassed as hell and couldn't put 100% pressure on his neck either time methinks.

Maybe so but it was a solid choke. It was tight.

For sure. Volk has the lungs of a thousand men too.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Volk is just amazing. amazing counter jabs, distance management, great wrestler and apparently un-tappable
