On the other hand, I can see why Toney and Mayorga are so confident because I boxed amature 18 fights, I also spared with some local BJJ boys that were trained by Braulio Estima and before I boxed i did freestyl;e karate for a couple of years.

I have to say that boxing gives you the most confidence fight wise, you know you can take or avoid a shot, you have composure under pressure and dont panick and go in to the fetal position like Tito Ortiz and you know, your punches can do damage and if not knockout single punches, you still know they are enough to make your opponent very wary of engaging after even just one stiff shot because theyve never been hit as easily before because theyve never truly cross trained before. Only a very small minority of mma fighters bother to spar with decen boxers, those that have, do have much better striking ability, those thjat havent seem to shiit a brick when anyone can string together more than one meaningfull shot.

Mayorga may get taught a lesson but lets be honest, Myorga has only taken this fight for the cash, its only because of Mayorga that anyone is interested. Mayorga could sub withing 10 seconds and still will earn more than Thomas for this fight.

If Thomas does decide to try his luck, testing his boxing then Mayorga will run through him! Watch the first round of Mayorga v Vargas, mayorga is similarly out of shape but throws everything at vargas, vargas keeps his gloves up and and prays, while Mayorga batters him around, Mayorga still manages to drop Vargas. If Thomas tries to trade, Mayorga might full well know hes not fit but he wont pace himself, he will still throw everything he has and go hell for leather, so itll either be Mayorga by Ko in the first or a Thomas submission.
Agreed about Mayorga.

Lets hope he can do it.

And then NEVER fight MMA again.

Likewise for Toney.
