tim sylvia in K1?

**VictorCharlie** · 06-04-2006 04:57 AM

I watched a bunch of this guys fights the other day and I think he is a decent HW mma fighter but I'm willing to bet the guy could be lights out in K1...any thoughts

While I agree he is a pretty good HW fighter, he wouldnt stand a chance against guys like Mark Hunt, Mirko Crocop and Jerome LeBanner

There are some pretty tough dudes in K1.... Mike McDonald, Remy Bonjaski, Carter Williams, etc. and they're all better strikers than Silvia.

He's not much of a puncher for his size and put bigger gloves on top of that he would get his bell clocked.

do hunt and mirko even fight in K1 any more?..if Bob Sapp can be a player in k1 than I think tim could be competitive maybe not number 1 but competitive

Sapp wins because he is insanely strong, despite his terrible form and lack of skills. Sylvia, although he has improved lately, isnt a very good or technical striker, mainly just using his long reach. Sapp is able to literally knock people flying off their feet with a single punch (see: vs. Hoost 2, vs. Kimo). Sylvia doesnt have the raw punching power to get by without skill.
