    RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Wilder vs Fury III PPV 10/9

    They've proven that being 2nd best is one of the most devastating things psychologically. Of course it is an amazing achievement, and logically you should still be proud of yourself but getting so close but realizing it will be forever out of reach is torture.

    RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Wilder vs Fury III PPV 10/9

    Tyson has fun in the ring. That helps him a lot, as it keeps him relaxed in the fight, makes the promotions successful and brings him back for more.

    RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Wilder vs Fury III PPV 10/9

    Yeah, I really hope he accepts this result. If this turns into months of looking at close-up, blurry pics of possibly floppy gloves it will really take the shine off the respect I have for him hanging in there.

    Deontay needs to go straight to hospital to get brain scanned. Well they both do, but seriously few people have had their brain knocked around harder than Deontay just did.

    RBR ***Official*** Sherdog Sanctioned Wilder vs Fury III PPV 10/9

    They need to put in these anthem-singer contracts that they aren't allowed to embellish the song. Just sing it straight as meant to be. Not all the show off stuff that ruins the mood of it.

    Definitive Proof Fedor never used Steroids

    I think most people don't really understand how PEDs work and just lump in "roids" with the rest. The roids most guys are familiar with are ones used for bodybuilding, by people who want to look "better" (i.e. by getting more muscle, more masculine body composition, and leaner). So they are of...

    Keith Thurman was robbed against new Granite chin Manny Pacquiao (Serious replies only)

    Your pictures prove my point (did you read my post at all?). A "flush power shot" needs to be in power range (not extended punch) AND needs to hit one of the "buttons" known to knock people out AND the defender must not be in process of evasion (i.e. cushioning the blow). In the first two...

    Keith Thurman was robbed against new Granite chin Manny Pacquiao (Serious replies only)

    Thurman did not land "200 flush power slots". While his output was high, there was not many that were flush. What you're referring to as Pacmans chin is actually experience to avoid the full force of the blows, aka good movement and keeping out of range. He did get hit with some good shots but...

    Does body punching leave you exposed for counters?

    There are a lot of types of body shot. Dropping levels to jab, shovel hook when guy has ribs exposed, a distraction intended to cause opponent to lower or open guard as set up for next punch in combination, tight hook while in close or exitng a clinch. Personally I do them when really close...

    PBP UFC 239: Jones vs. Santos - Preliminary Card PBP Discussion - 6:15 p.m. ET/3:15 p.m. PT

    Well, it is possible that Santos was actually dangerous to Jones. As Jones said in the post-fight interview he had a hole in his game (low leg kicks). Santos used that to help reduce the reach advantage, and then threw enough powerful punches to make Jones think twice. But I agree Jones'...

    My cousin pulled my little cousin out of boxing after Paulie v Artem

    I'm not sure why your cousin thought boxing was particularly related to self-defense, I've participated in boxing all my life and have never heard one guy even refer to it as a martial art. However, I do highly recommend boxing as a way to get in shape, relieve aggression, foster discipline and...

    Embrassing

    Yeah, they're mandated to wrap up in a particular way. They seem to be regular wraps but there is a specified way that mostly (I'm assuming) gives support to the wrist, some support to the thumb, and I guess also some of the hand bones although it only goes about half way. I'm not really sure...

    My Loss From My Side ~ Anthony Joshua [AJ talks directly to his fans]

    I think you need a screw loose in some way to be a boxing champion. If you're just a nice athletic guy who sees it as a sport, it just isn't enough. Of course he has won championships, so not saying he isn't a champion, but you know what I mean -- once he has the money and realizes that it is...

    Was Joshua sick or something?

    I'm sorry but when you have made contracts where hundreds of people's livlihoods are at stake, and people have dedicated a significant part of their life and real money to support you, you need to go on despite how you feel. I understand panic attacks and stage fright, but if you are prone to...

    Are Americans falling behind in MMA?

    Every "decade" or generation seems to have a favorite martial art that captures the (American) public consciousness. In the 60s and early 70s it was Kung-Fu and you had the Bruce Lee's and Chuck Noris's, then in the 80s it was Karate -- that was all people were taking when I was a kid -- and you...

    Great fight from Wilder and Fury. But if one guy goes unconscious the fight is over.

    The "if this was MMA" or "if this was a street fight" doesn't work logically because if it was actually MMA and there was grappling and submissions allowed then Fury would have been using all those techniques against Wilder. And I'm pretty sure that in MMA Fury would be more even more dominant...
