Chael Sonnen was an amateur boxer!?

[Apollo33]

I remember something about him competing in Golden gloves who knows if it's true or not. Olympic team? that's just a dream he had probability.

I was his trainer. 100% confirmed.

 

[SmilinDesperado]

He started in the streets though.
Beat the shit out of Kimbo back in the day. Look it up on YouTube

[The Mean Streets]

When you come from the rough streets of West Linn, Oregon, you got to find ways to focus your anger, otherwise, you might never live to see the age of 21.

*Mean streets of West Linn

Chael was *this close to beating a prime Anderson & Jones. Put some respek on his name

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

It's true, he was coached by Dana too.

Hey Dana is no joke, he got CTE from Boxercise according to Joe Hogan. Also he was ran out of Philly by notorious mobster Left-Eye Lopez who wanted a cut from his ridiculously profitable Boxercise circuit.

Well, his boxing was pretty damn effective vs Anderson Silva. Chael wobbled him a couple times, even knocked him down and basically connected at will.

Chael has good boxing.

Chael has passable boxing, but the threat of a takedown is pretty big in opening those options up under MMA ruleset.

But he humiliated Silva in every way and became the middleweight champion. And you're saying he did it with "passable" boxing... yeah right.

 

[ookii]

Would that make his amateur boxing credentials to be similiar to getting a toy in your happy meal?

 

[tasticles]

Damn some of you are gullible. I've seen olympic level boxers and he's def not it. These are people that could go pro if they wanted to.

 

[Harlekin]

Well, he outboxed Silva for 5 1/2 rounds. But nowadays his boxing is utter shit.
Still undefeated

 

[Willy Lump Lump]

Rumour has it that his amateur record is 32-4. Not bad for a gangster.

He likely started the "runour"

 

[josh345]

Roided Chael kind of showed good combos and head movement there lol

He probably has better boxing than Jones if that helps, and Jones is the GOAT.

Chael is GOAT.
