Boxing Freak Show
Mike Tyson has signed to fight 350 lbs. ultimate fighter Bob Sapp in a kickboxing match this coming May. The promoters are trying to get George Foreman to fight sumo wrestling champ Akebono in a kickboxing match for the undercard.
I think both these boxers will win their respective kickboxing rules matches. Hopefully, neither would agree to an ultimate fighting rules match. They WILL both get killed if they did. |

Re: Boxing Freak Show
UFC rules, you are right, both boxers would get killed.
tyson will probably still get destroyed by a real kickboxer, since when has tyson ever kickboxed? perhaps he has when I didn't hear of it, but i never heard of it. Foreman might beat the sumo guy tho. I'd love to see it, let me know if it's going to be on TV. al |

Re: Boxing Freak Show
You are probably overvaluing the power to be find in kicks.
With punches you can get all your bodyweight under them. It does not work this way with kicks. With UFC, bodyweight matters immensely as in streetfights both participants end up grappling on the floor and weight tells. |

Re: Boxing Freak Show
Boxers, kickboxers, all the striking type marshall arts get their assess kicked every time by the grapplers, wrestlers, jujitsu, submission fighters, etc. I've watched at least 18 UFCs and the grapplers win virtually every time. The only strikers that have ever beat grapplers are the ones who wise up and practice grappling too.

Re: Boxing Freak Show
In the UFC, grappler/jujitsu/submission etc fighters:
A) hardly bother with any of that standing up baloney, and B) virtually never lose to someone who is not also a grapplers/jujitsu/submission etc fighter al |

Re: Boxing Freak Show
Tyson would kill any of the UFC guys. I'd bet the farm on that.
