They've been working together for sometime now and it looks like his hands have improved. In his comeback fight last night, up a division, he slipped a right then landed this hook.

Which eventually led to the strangulation finish. Great job by Roach in improving a predominantly wrester/grapplers hands enough to win the MW title! Great press for boxing as well!

It was crazy seeing fredmund roach working the corner of gsp in a ufc cage.
Even crazier seeing gsp actually use his boxing and knock someone down hard. I never thought gsp would stand and bang thought he would jab feint shoot for a takedown and repeat.
4 year lay off. came back and beat the middle weight champ. gotta give him some credit. even though it was against bisping, look at the guys bisping beat in order to get that belt.
you're right man, Ive always been a GSP hater though. I did see gas tank issues with GSP and an inability to pin a guy down like he used to but that may very well have been cage rust and fighting a bigger guy. I have a feeling the UFC is going to try to make GSP vs. Mcgregor at a catchweight.
agreed. one of the best card in a while. all 3 title fight delivered. i was starting to get bored of the ufc.
same, last few cards i watched have been pretty meh..minus demetrious johnsons crazy submission and darren till coming out of no where looking BEAST
gsp looks juiced to the gills. he was tiring fast and was fortunate to hurt bisping and finish that fight. it wasn't looking good for him if he had to go 5.
I truly believe GSP retired because he had to lay off the juice. Good win but it was against the lowest hanging fruit on the entire UFC championship roster.
Since the May/McGregor fight, I now completely discredit the punching ability of all MMA fighters in regards to speed, power and ability to take a hit.
That being said, still a cool clip and smart of GSP to hook up with a proper boxing trainer.
Try getting hit with a 4oz gloves. It's not as easy either to block compared to 16oz gloves.
Spar with boxing gloves and then mma ones and then come back to me.
Joanna lost :( the one UFC fighter I like.
that was a tough one to watch, joanna was my favorite also...the card overall though was real good, lots of upsets, all the belts changed hands ..i got every pick wrong in the main 3 title fights.
I was blasphemously picking against GSP even though im Canadian lol ..4 year lay off, move up in weight , championship fight, tons of new anti drug measures in ufc now a days..what a legend
If you watch carefully you'll see he first lands the left into his lat area hard (you can see Bisping's rear lat taking the impact) before he throws it again into his face.

Didn't even see that, so it was a slip and jab to the body at the same time and then a lead hook to the head for the knockdown. That's some pretty advanced ****!

Ya he landed dozens of jabs on Koschek and eventually broke his orbital. He's always loved boxing.

I've been trying to get that across to people for years. The MMA gloves are part of the ko power cuz they're like bricks.

GSP is the man, glad he's back in the picture. Not a big UFC aficionado but I do believe he's always had good boxing, think he beat up a guy with just using the jab once.
