Alistair Overeem and Wladimir Klitschko pictured above.
Most tend to agree that a boxer vs MMA fighter in a boxing environment would end up with the boxer winning rather easily and vice versa. However, that may not be the case with "The Demolition Man", Alistair Overeem who currently is the Strikeforce Heavyweight Champion, DREAM Interim Heavyweight Champion and K-1 World Grand Prix Champion.
Overeem is widely recognized as the best kick boxer on the planet today and the best striker in all of MMA, while Klitschko is ranked one of the top ten boxers on the planet. Without a doubt, Overeem would make more than a formidable opponent for any boxer out there in any form of fighting.
A source from Klitschko's camp tells us that they were contacted by someone affiliated with K-1, a world-wide kickboxing promotion based in Japan. Overeem was brought up as a possible opponent for Klitschko in a super-fight. Klitschko's camp have verbally agreed to a possible bout in the future with Alistair Overeem.
The original plan was to have the contest be a kickboxing match, but this is still under heavy negotiation. A boxing super-fight may be more likely. However, the match may not happen for quite some time as Wladimir Klitschko is scheduled to face David Haye in Hamburg, Germany on July 2nd, 2011.
A spokesperson for 5Dimes, an online sports bookie, was able to give us a few insights as to how the odds for this super-fight would start out:
In a boxing match, the odds would start off dead even or possibly a Alistair Overeem being a slight favorite.
In a kickboxing match, the odds would start off with Alistair Overeem being the 5-1 favorite.
In a MMA fight, the odds would start off with Alistair Overeem being the 16-1 favorite.
In MMA, none of Alistair Overeem's past opponents in the last 3-4 years have been able to make it a few minutes without being finished. Would Klitschko be just another victim for the Demolition Man?
holy.
that would be insane
Overeem is the best striker in MMA and the best kickboxer in the WORLD.
No one has been able to survive a few minutes standing with Overeem in the last few years ever since he put on all that size.
For those who don't know who Overeem is,
he is a 6'6'', 270lb beast of a kickboxer/MMA fighter.
Hate to burst your bubble man but that dude is just another Bob Sapp. The last decent guy he fought beat his ass in 2009. I promise you he is nothing special
No he is not
Sapp is a side freakshow
Overeem is extremely talented and moves like no other 6'6 270 pound giant
For those who don't know who Overeem is,
he is a 6'6'', 270lb beast of a kickboxer/MMA fighter.
That cr*p is a highlight clip?
Oh, my god. This guy is slow. And he is already puffing in the 1st round.
Forget it. Fish food.
LOL! at Boxing fans looking at how many losses a guy has and to that being them a Tomato Can......
Not only 11 loses but also was KTFOed in the very first round by bums.
yes hes gone the distance in kickboxing matches
he conditioned and fast
Hate to burst your bubble man but that dude is just another Bob Sapp. The last decent guy he fought beat his ass in 2009. I promise you he is nothing special
Overeem: 11 losses. MMA morons in this thread think he's good. LMAO!!!
Any decent MMA fighter would annihilate this guy. In boxing even butter bean would ANNIHILATE him.
Do you even know who Overeem is? Most of his losses came at 205. He's 6'5 and had to cut to 205 which was hard on him, as a HW he is 12-1. He lost his 1st ever HW fight then went on to become a 3 time world champion, Dream HW Champ, Strikeforce HW Champ and K1 World Champion.
Badr Hari got beat the second time around....
wrong. Badr is the one that OWNED Overeem the 2nd time around. Do you even watch the sport? Dumbass, a PRIME Overeem got annihilated in the 1st round by Hari.
Ubereem would destroy the Klitchsko brothers in MMA or kickboxing even though Vitali had some background in kickboxing. But in boxing Ubereem would get pizza faced.
