He's going to get his arse kicked(or whooped, for you simple folk)

here is his boxrec,
his hands still seem pretty quick but the boxing gloves are ALOT bigger then what he used to haveing to sneak his hands betweeen, and his defense wasnt really based on his hands, i agree with you, and i hope his first loss damages his reputation enough to make him think he needs to fight silva again to redeem himself
After two rounds he will not be able to hold them heavy ass gloves up.Quote:

I COULD HAVE KNOCKED THE BUM HE WAS FIGHTING OUT...
whenever he was holding it looked like he was going do a wrestling move like he normally does in the UFC....he looks solid, i wonder how far he'll actually go.
You're right he could use some good better footwork and lose some of the bulk but still he had nice hands as always. I'm gonna be optimistic about him unlike the other know-it-alls who have already posted.
Seriously if you knew everything you wouldn't be sitting around posting on a forum :)
And wouldn't it be funny if he were fighting and accidently threw a knee at someones face!
He's got a pretty good amatuer background. If i'm not mistaken he boxed before mma. Possibly olympic competetior??? Either way he could make some noise and be competetive, but ever since he's taken on the bodybuilder look his conditioning has been poor. I would think he would need to trim down he's too muscalur and gets gassed quickly.
I won't hate, like you guys. It's not too often a guy from MMA goes to boxing though. (Because most disrespect it publicly, but train in their stance all the time. :dontknow: )
... I'm very interested in seeing what happens though.
Fucking hell... the guy won't make a boxer... did you see him try and unload? it was all tensed arms and straight legs... no good boxer will stand off like that either.. complete novice mistake... one I didn't make after my second amatuer bout. He's built all wrong too... there are boxers with as much muscle than that but most of his was in all the wrong places... I doubt he makes more than 5 fights before he sulks back off to MMA
Maybe right but like I said if you knew everything you wouldn't be sitting around posting on some forum :)
What do you mean ??? I'm a competative boxer... ::** ;)
I didn't see the fight, but I'm sure he needs some work and if he is serious he will get the right people to train him. The guy was a pretty damn good amateur boxer before he went to MMA and he is a great athelete. But why are yall say he should rematch Silva...he beat the crap out of that guy in under a minute?
i wouldn't say he's too bulky, he is 220 pounds and that's pretty much the right weight to be a heavyweight these days....not sure how tall he is though
Weights a subjective thing though, it all depends on how he carrys (his body make up... how much of his mass is actual lean muscle etc) it and as you said how tall he is.
He's not that big but he dosn't have a punchers physique... just looks like he's been doing generic weights for the sake of it like most people in a gym who don't train for any particular sport. I don't know that much about MMA, maybe the build suits that but he just doesn't look like a puncher... a guy like Tyson was short and weighed that much but looked completely different
Vitors always had extremely fast hands. His downfall in mixed martials arts was that he always got taken to the ground. He had some ground fighting skills but preferred to win Knockout, so got grounded and pounded by a lot of guys.
Hes still got fast hands, but used less straight punches than he did in MMA, even though his hooks dont seem to be that wide. He could be a decent boxer.... but his style needs a major overhaul. He still fights like a MMA arts fighter. He doesnt use a jab, hes too squared up and he should really be thinking about bringing more power to those shots from his legs. He'll get schooled by a lot of high skilled fighters that cant take a punch, use thier jabs, and time him for counters.
Perhaps he just needs time to adjust.
Times not on his side... :P he needs work practically from the ground up.
Usually its the other way round, ur a bum in boxing then you go to MMA, not the other way round.
Im more concerned with why the hell he has Jesus on his trunks.
I'm a competitive boxer and i'm good looking, probably moreso than drgoodlooking himself!Quote:
