thanks for posting. Huge size advantage tho. JDS would give any boxer good work, Cain would be unwise to mix it up on the feet saturday
is his boxing elite in terms of pure boxing? no is his boxing elite in terms of mma striking? clearly considering as he's never been out punched. the facts speak for themselves. jose aldo has great thai boxing in terms of mma but you put him in the ring with buakaw and see what happens.
This. As long as he destroys people in the octagon who gives a sh** about how he does in training. If you don
Absolutely elite for an MMA fighter, just not for a boxer. He did ok against this guy, but the Olympic boxer definitely beat him. So against an Olympic caliber boxer... not so much. But you don't need to be that high a level against MMA guys. His boxing is incredible for an MMA fighter. Also, this isnt to say JDS couldnt be an elite boxer in his own right, but when you focus on takedowns, submissions, etc, you just cant put the same training into your boxing as a straight boxer would.
Certainly true but it's good enough. Guy is a thinker - and those are rare among MMA strikers. If we ignore all the nonsense calls for him to fight the Klitshckos and for Anderson to fight RJJ, we can move forward and the boxing in MMA will get better and better.
