This 80 year old man has better boxing technique than mma fighters

[GBJohn]

It was a bit of light hearted banter

But it's also impressive seeing a man that age moving so well

Loads of 80 year old men can hardly walk

My dad's 81, he'd end up in the hospital if he tried this.

My dad is 66 and he couldn't do this

Fuck.

Their classic was 15 years ago.

FUCK

Fuckin internet

I dont believe one bit that this man is 80, let alone 70. Late 60's maybe though if he kept in shape.

No 80 years old moves like that.

He's stiff as a board, Conor would break him in half.

Testosterone levels are plummeting. This old man is probably twice the man the average male Sherdogger is.

 

[ocfightfan]

Has he been working on his takedown defense?

Compare his bag work to conor's pathetic work pre floyd?

Conor even admits he cringes looking back at the training for Floyd

P. S I think this old guy would put manners into the geriatric beaters Perry and McGregor

Pensioner bless

Technique can improve until you're very old. Reflexes, stamina, strength and speed not so much. There's nothing strange about an old guy having great technique -- most 60 year old ex-professional athletes still have great technique. But they're too slow, tired etc to play the way they once did.

 

[MichaelT]

Let's see his kicking, clinch, wrestling, subs etc

I'm not so disillusioned to think that an 80 years old has any chance against a professional MMA fighter.

me either but it wouldn't surprise me if he kicked my ass.

Agreed

Hard to imagine his generation watching Wmma if it was around

9/10 a boxer is going to have better boxing technique than an mma fighter. mma boxing if different. extremely different. just go box with a friend and allow takedowns and see how you adjust. its not the same. its similar in a lot of ways and a lot of the philosophies and principals can translate over well but its not the same thing. I'd hope some old guy with a life time of boxing experience is going to out technique an mma fighter who only dedicates so much time to boxing training and the boxing they use in a fight has to account for kicks , takedowns knees and elbows.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

That's nothing

This 85 YEAR OLD plays ping pong way better than Conor and Khabib combined.

Dude's got a nasty left
