Floyd is NOT fighting Tenshin Nasukawa

Now my favorite conspiracy theory is that it was all a plot to give Tenshin visibility outside of Japan...

His wiki page got lots of access since the announcement.
 
Interesting, I guess I confused him with the countless other boxers that have called out MMA fighters/trash talked.

He was definitely involved in some back and forth, but Dana started that shit.
 
floyd couldnt read the contract...this is lame to get hopes up and be disappointed Lol
 
Lol I am not surprised this fell through..
 
With kicks and knees bobbing and weaving is quite dangerous. That why it is not do as much in KB rulesets.

Eh. Disagree. You can bob and weave punches in Muay Thai or kick boxing all day. What you can’t do is exaggerate the motion. Bob, weave, and slip just enough that the shots miss and not an inch more

That is true. But he perhaps had a point as we were talking about escaping a push down in a clinch via slips or weaving and coming up with an uppercut for example.

I don't think that's far-fetched at all. They certainly achieved that. And they obviously spent some time drafting up the contract but I think they knew that it was a long shot that Floyd would actually sign it.
 
Not only that, hasn't Floyd a team in japan? Can't remember if its boxing or MMA tho. He wanted an opening in the Asian market.
So he makes some waves there, his name is back on top, and so next time his team is mentioned, they already have done some publicity.
 
Soccer is way more technical and tactical than fight sports. And Bolt is not doing half bad to be honest.

There are very fast football players by the way. Kostas Manolas a nobody famous player was noted that he.delivered a 50 meter sprint that would place him in top 6 in last Olympics for 50 meters sprints. Mohamed Salah is another speedster out there. But soccer is not about physicality. The best players have always been the most technical ones. There is no wonder there is a cult behind players like Maradona, Messi or Totti.

Soccer players are probably one of the most well rounded or even the most well rounded athletes.

I train MT, Boxing and some BJJ, but soccer now as well. Maybe its just me, but it feels like you are training your whole body. The money is also good lol one of my brothers friends plays in the 4th divison (germany) and earns 25-35k per month.

I think Ronaldo could beat Bolt, if the path is "zigzag" ... i know ... i know ... "under the right circumstances" ;)

I think he could be a good mid. distance runner. But he is still extremly fast ... i mean ... he runs on gras, in cleats + uniform + shin guards + shit technique ( compared to sprinters).

Well it really depends. But yeah soccer is
- as tough as a fight sport. The kicking, pushing, elbows and etc are insane and usually they are between two players running at full speed at each other. The injury rate is also insane. I have had less injuries in boxing than in soccer
- enduarance and especially performing when tired - you run for 90 mins with a 15 min break in between and you end up with about 8-15 km ran at the end and some of these kms are full speed 20-40 meter sprints
- technique with the ball - now that is something else. Most people can dribble with a basketball or throw with some accuracy with hands, but making an inch perfect pass with the required speed of a delivery, so your team mate can make a good first touch requires a lot of drilling, fantasy, technique and etc. The mind connection between dribbling, passing, shooting - you either have or you do not. This is where soccer is special. Technique with the ball.
- tactics - and after all that you get to the 50% of the game - the tactics. The game is so complex that it requires top coaches and tactics gurus to come up with a strategy for a whining team. There are like 15-20 zonal positions and all of them can be played in a different way. And Ronaldo perhaps was a very good right winger when young (due to speed), then good left inside forward in peak (due to athleticism and shooting technique) and now a central forward (due to developed sense of scoring, shooting technique - when older), but the guy would suck in most other positions and be average or below average in them. So Ronaldo the forward is world class, but Ronaldo the defender would not make a living as a professional footballer for example. Additonally to tactics - there is no other sport that is that much developed into this field as tactics in football.

In the end the Bolt comparison is just ridiculous.Boxing to MMA is not like running to soccer. Soccer is way more complex, has traditions and etc. Lets not make it that MMA is a rocket science. You go in as a world class boxer, chance you are successful with some training of course under MMA rules are pretty high. Otherwise top wrestlers would suck in MMA too. Having in mind wrestling does not have a professional scene and is quite under developed in comparison to boxing, I have no clue why people can not graps it that a professional world class boxer would do just fine and has an easy transition if not an easier one that a wrestler into the sport of MMA.
 
Did anyone else get the feeling that floyd would've won that fight with a lucky punch? Well actually I think floyd is taller than tenshin, so I think floyd would hit a few shots on tenshin but that's all it would take in my oppinion.
 
Do you honestly believe that Floyd couldn't have done to Connor in round 1 what he did in round 10?

As I recall it Floyd wasn't throwing anything in the first 4 rounds, before he started to get going. He was definitely carrying Conor, otherwise the referee would've stepped in much earlier.

I don't know if he could've finished him at any given point, but in round 9 Floyd was going the same pace like in round 10, and he couldn't finish him. This makes me think that he needed at least more than 1 round to get the stoppage.

My guess is 5-6 rounds when Floyd fights full force from the beginning and doesn't carry him.

The had a 100m race between Ronaldo and a top Spanish 100m specialist on Sport Science program. As expected over the 100m the Sprinter won but not by much. Then they ran a slalom through some cones and Ronaldo smoked the Sprinter, it wasn't even close. So yeah I fully believe Ronaldo could beat Bolt over a zig zag.

I don't know if you're bullshitting or if your brother is bullshitting you, but if this was the type of money the clubs paid, they wouldn't be in the 4th division to begin with...

I know some numbers from the 3rd division and this an absolute unrealistic monthly salary. It's not that easy to get to the big money regardless how popular a sport is ... those matches are not televised, ticket sales are slim, no big transfer business to speak of, no sponsoring, no merchandising,... this is how clubs usually generate money.

9th round is after 24 minutes of fighting. Floyd is not immune to fatigue, but he beat the piss out of Conor who, I felt, was allowed to continue longer than he should have been. I just don't think Conor lasts 15 minutes with Floyd on full blast.

I am baffled from the fact that some experienced guys in here can't see that...They really think it was not a work.

You know details about it? It's something legit, or just a gym with his name?
