No he didn't, he did exactly what I said, winged punches albeit very quick ones. If anything, that fight made crop cop's striking look bad seeing as he allowed Fedor to wing the punches, and even allowed Fedor to throw head kicks without being countered.
Mir has actually demonstrated better boxing combos than Fedor. Fedor is a one punch or multiple winging shots kinda guy. Mir's boxing vs Nog in their first fight was better than any boxing I've ever seen from Fedor.
No, I was responding to your original premise about fighters not belonging in other combat sports. Yes, Buakaw should definitely be the huge betting favourite, but I think it just isn't a forgone conclusion that Buakaw wins like you think.
No it isn't, I genuinely think Lima will be a UFC fighter one day. You are just being plain rude and pompous by accusing me of trying to get a thread included in the ufc discussion.
Well no one is questioning my right to comment, but they sure are acting out as if I have no fight knowledge. Fact is I do, and all I did was raise a question into something which I honestly am not 100% sure about owing to the reasons I've stated. I've actually seen firsthand a few local...
I never said that, I'm just not 100% certain, and I would argue it's not justified to be 100% certain on the outcome given Lima's size and power advantage as well as his own brutal leg kick game.
Not really, Connor was never (is not) a great pure boxer, so was obvious what was going to go happen vs Floyd. Lima on the other hand has been trained by Manu Ntoh, a trainer whose trained world champions in Muay Thai, and he spoke very highly of Lima's Muay Thai.
How is he mediocre? He is easily one of the top strikers in MMA, and I do acknowledge Buakaw is a beast in his game, but looking at Douglas Lima's kicks compared to Buakaws, both look similar in power. Buakaw fights smaller fighters as well.
