Mercer KO'd him. Yea...that's one example. Couture never threw a punch while standing. There's also Royce Gracie destroying all of his opponents with BJJ in the early days before people really had any knowledge of mma. Royce basically kicked and threw weak open hand strikes. Gene Lebell (judo and wasn't allowed to kick) and defeated a boxer back in the day, Gary Turner (mma) beat Julius Francis (strict boxer), Ricardo Mayorga (strict boxer) who lost all of his mma fights.
So about the mercer fight. Even if boxers win 1 out of 5 times, that's only 20%. I'm guessing it's between 5-20% wins for boxing if fighting a grappler. He caught Sylvia...no excuses plain and simple.
There's also plenty of footage from brazil in the 80's and 90's of bjj guys fighting all types of strikers. .....but all were ended from relative easy takedowns to finishing on the ground.
Yeah you definitely don't want to engage with this tool haha, we're actually collectively blanking him as a forum in an effort to get him to leave because the mods won't ban him.
