Media Like Father Like Son - Kalyl Silva Wins Kickboxing Debut

He'll be a beast just by having Anderson training him, but you can't teach heart, chin, or the god given speed his father had.

If he's serious I hope he goes far, if he's not I hope he doesn't take unnecessary damage.
Did you watch the video? He's got the speed. The chin and heart are unknown at this point, but damn if he doesn't look really good in that fight. A 10 second KO is not a bad debut.
 
I hope he becomes so good he ends up clowning opponents like his dad did.

Edit. Thats some nice movement tho.
 
Was that like a work? He gets right back up after falling, turns and walks away and the ref waves it off. I mean i assume it was just amateur given the headgear with a guy who may not REALLY be a fighter so just quit as soon as he got hit with something good. But this fight dosen't show us much yet. He's got a good teacher at least.
 
I don't think he will be successful in the long run because his dad did so well. It's hard to dig deep and have immense drive when you grown up with everything given to you. Mike Tyson has this hilarious interview about his children trying boxing and he is just like they go to private school.
 
Hardly battle tested. Big shoes to fill.

Cerrone grew up well off and has a trust fund he hasn't touched, and despite that he was fairly successful.

Penn also grew up rich and was able to become champion.

To me it looked like he got hit with a good one, got knocked down and maybe flash KO’d. Probably didn’t know what exactly happened and was confused, felt dizzy. Could very well have been the first time the guy was dropped and rocked bad. People react differently, but usually they’re confused

<5>

Nice debut, couldn’t have gone much better.
 
Does the headgear indicate that this is amateur kickboxing?
