shonie carters standup

[devante]

how good is it, i know he has done alot of non mma competition; so how good is it regarding def,off, counters, variety of strikes, technique and strategy, figured i would ask the experts.

 

[Michael Wanaka]

Well, he got KO'd by Nate Quarry, who isn't exactly a great striker. I think that answers the question.

 

[devante]

just curious cus he has a good record in us and world wide shidokan; which are fairly high levels of striking at least w/in the martial arts world.

an he has shown a pretty good array of strikes, punches, elbows, kicks, etc.

an guys like liddel/shamrock have brought him in to prepare for diff styles of strikers; even the guys in aka, so i figured he had some legit skills.

being koed by a bigger guy isn't necessarily a shame, he is a)past his prime and b)might have a questionable chin

 

[RJ Powell**]

he's pretty old now. physically and in fight years.

I think he was a decent striker back in his prime.

 

[Ted-P]

Quarry looked like a goddamn giant against Shonie.

Huge mismatch in general and Quarry does punch really hard.

 

[BJJ Coffee Drinker]

Shonie looked like he was stoned when he came out to fight Quarry

 

[JerseyTrash]

Well, he got KO'd by Nate Quarry, who isn't exactly a great striker. I think that answers the question.

Well Crocop was KOed by Randleman. I don't think that means all that much.

I saw him fight live at a couple of Shidokan events. He showed a lot of variety in his offense against his opponents, all of who were larger than him, but he really shone when it hit the ground.
