Fabio is the real lhw goat

[GIBLERTBAPTISTA]

The Kingsbury fight he must have landed 100+ shots in the clinch.

clearly Fedor slipped over

He looked like he got shot when that landed

Fabio is seen as some bum here because Stipe easily KOd him but in reality he was always a tough bastard with good hands by MMA standards and a brown belt under Big Nog. With his chin and experience anyone who tries straight up boxing with him will have problems. I think he would beat someone like Derrick Black Bum Lewis in a pure boxing match with relative ease.

Wow real impressive he dropped some random in a C-level promotion, get that non-UFC shit outa here. A gif of him getting abused by Glover would be more appropriate.

No kidding. As a former boxer, body shots are hell to land clean, fighters arms are in the way, many fighters fight forward, meaning they are crouched forward slightly with chin tucked and the goddman boxer shorts get higher every year.

The only way to easily get body shots is against fighters that have a high arm defensive posture (and some do) or guys that have a diagonal stance rather than a squared stance. Even then its a bugger to land a good shot and plenty of them bounce off the rib cage doing virtually no damage.

You can land some in the clinch but in boxing you are separated almost immediately.

There is a reason there are only a few guys in MMA or boxing that are known for body shots.
