this was in 2008. His sparring opponent looked like he wanted to KO Silva by throwing bombs. Silva was holding back and threw lighter but landed more. His conditioning was better. Sliva shift up the gear in the last round but was still pulling his punches.
Sliva should win in an actual boxing match.
ps: sorry for the typo in the title of this thread. I meant BOXing, not bosing
kinda crazy to see, but that guy isn't RJJ...and imo Anderson would get tooled by him in a boxing match. He's got some pretty good boxing, but it's not amazing. OBviously, if we wanted to talk straight striking then yeah, he's a ****ing beast...but boxing, eh he's good...but i wouldn't pick him over a passed his prime Jones.
Im not a Anderson Silva fan even when it comes to MMA but why cant any of you guys give credit where credit is due???
Freddy Roach wouldnt wouldnt put some random weekend warrior scrub in there to spar with a Professional fighter or he'd have a lawsuit on his hands.
That's an actual BOXER Silva was in there with. Not anyone noteworthy....but he has much more boxing skill than y'all give him credit for.
qft
but i would love to see silva going harder in sparrring
So MMA is now mmGay, how come Roach one o the best trainers today trains MMA fighters?
Because he's not as simple minded and idiotic as some of you guys on here.
He's said it himself.
He is a fight fan.
Don't see why so many of you feel the need to defend boxing.
I think you and Andy Silva should stick with mmGAY.Boxing isn't a sport for homo's ,We tolerate Paulie Malignaggi and Marco Antonio Barrera But that's it.So please do run along to a mmGAY forum and discuss two grown men molesting each other in a cage over there
Says the sport represented very well by Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar de la Hoya and Paulie Malignaggi, and won't even get started on their fans...

Yeah the same Anderson Silva that gets knocked stiff by a 10-2 bum in Brazil! Yeah that Anderson Silva would surely be a boxing Light Heavyweight Champion! PLEASE!!!! Get a clue man. Silva would crushed in the boxing game.
Logic Fail!!!
Manny Pacquiao got knocked stiff by a 10-11 bum in the philippines.
Juan Manuel Marquez lost to a 0-1 bum in his professional debut.
You're just bein a hater.
Anderson Silva is a great boxer for MMA. IMO as long as he doesn't have an amateur background to back it up, he's not ready to fight a real boxer. Sparring and fighting are two different things.
Silva has some boxing skills, but absolutely nothing like a good professional. Every time I watch MMA, I get so annoyed at the horrible technique when they're trading with each other.

shouldn't make too much of this.
Actually, I think Anderson Silva would win a championship in the light heavy division. He has more skill than most of you think. If you've never seen him fight, don't judge just because he is in MMA. He will easily knock out RJJ.
He can hold his ground..... but championship??? well, he has to focus on boxing.... for a while...:boxing:
The guy he is "sparring" has a terrible jab, he's probably one of the guys in Freddie's gym who just goes there to work out .. an amateur and had the chance of sparring Silva. Either that or he is a bum boxer.
