fedor and tyson were 5'10'' and ko'd giants

[fbgn]

mates, wanted to share something

this short clip is an old favorite of mine and features tyson discussing what goes into ko'ing someone. i post it because a lot of people seem to have the wrong idea about what goes into power and knockouts



"being a big man really doesn't matter, it has no significance when you knockout someone. the main point is the quickness in which you throw the punches and the leverage that you have in the shoulder snap...the objective of knocking out an individual is throwing a punch he can't see"-iron mike

some old classics from great small guys ko'ing larger guys with relatively short, well-placed and well-timed punches:

Fedor and Tyson, are like cyborgs from another planet though, so what do you expect

Isn't fedor 6'?

 

[Noleggeisha]

Brett Rogers isn't much bigger if at all.

Johnson is 23 pounds lighter.

So well.

But, but... he went up two weight classes!!!!111

Pretty much this.

 

[BigMuffler]

Brett Rogers was 6'4 290 lbs cutting down to 265 so WUT?

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Fedor is a little over 6 feet tall, Igor however is only 5'9"ish and crushed with the hammer of Thor!

 

[RemyR]

Pretty sure Fedor was around 6' or so. Maybe a bit taller.

def not taller and def less than 6'

Fedor is a little over 6 feet tall, Igor however is only 5'9"ish and crushed with the hammer of Thor!

igor's a great example but i doubt fedor is 6 even. he looked pretty small with guys billed as 6' like jacare. not scientific but still offers some insight

oh and here's some 5'8'' (!!!!) igor knocking fools out:

 

[Jesus X]

Fedor is a legit 5'11 he would of been close to my height when I met him im 5'9" with shoes on, hendo was a legit 5'10" I was almost eye to eye with hendo.

 

[NotSoSure]

Well, they still are that height....I hope.

And size is not only height and length. It's something sherdoggers seem unable to understand. Mark Hunt is a huge guy for example. Bigger than Werdum. Wrap your minds around that.

 

[Flex Plexico]

to me, this was a super-interesting (old) read. yeah yeah yeah- booooo Jack Slack/BE

I like him, and learn a lot from his breakdowns

I have met Fedor briefly after the Bigfoot silva fight. Im 5'10. He walked by me and I SHook his hand and im telling you he was the same height as me. He was thick and his arms are very long. His reach is ridiculous.

 

[One Inch Punch]

I'd say mass has a lot to do with KOs. Mass at speed is harder to slow down, need more opposing force. Hence, why hw have more KOs than other divisions

You win ... Post of the day ,, congrats

So well.

Brett is 6'4", you must be thinking Buck Rogers.

 

[JohnWick]

Nope 1.82m, so about 5'10". This a common misconception of Fedor.

sherdog has become a zuffa zombie forum unfortunately. alot of the newer fans dont respect the history of the sport because they dont know about it.
