I was listening to the Ronda VS Floyd discussion and how Dana White was also bragging that his girl Ronda could finish all the boxers in an MMA type setting so I thought I should share this story relating to Amir Khan.
I have a friend who is a Judo black belt and a power lifter. He is a 5.8 compact bullish looking dude that you do not want to mess with if you saw him. He was a bouncer and would always get called when someone really big in the club was acting really nasty. He has been in judo competitions and is also a judo coach for kids but nothing up there like the Olympics.
He admits that once in a bet, he tried to take Amir Khan down and Amir Khan banged the shit out of him. He says that if Amir Khan had a gi on then it might be easier go get grips but there was no way to grab Amir without eating something and every time Amir hit him it was like "electric shocks that originated in his head and went all the way down to his feet." It was not even a sanctioned fight but people clowning around but still he left convinced that you cant get close to a professional boxer without eating some serious leather.
In my mind, I try to take this almost 200 lbs beast of a judo black belt out and insert a 135 lbs Ronda trying the same thing. Eating punches while getting grips ... how do you think it ends? Share your conclusions please ...
