Ray Mercer Knocks Tim Sylvia Out in Nine Seconds

[them_apples]

Tim Sylvia was never anything special. Really.

ahah special enough to be the UFC champ..who they seem to get every week

[TheGreatA]

Guess what, Bimbo is 90% BOXING. BIMBO got ko'd by a jab. BIMBO destroyed a few mmgay fighters with BOXING.

You still have it in you, girlmachine, bringing out the absolute WORST examples that make you look like a raging ******.

It's not like Kimbo beat Mercer by boxing. He took Mercer down and choked him out.

Basically what any MMA fighter with a brain would do.

Kimbo "destroyed" a near 50 year old bar brawler Tank Abbott, a nobody who took a dive in 10 seconds as well as James Thompson, a glass-jawed circus act.

The first time he fought an actual MMA fighter, and not even a very good one at that, he was knocked in 14 seconds.

There is absolutely no consistency in the UFC. That pink Haired **** that beat Kimbo didn't do it with skill, he just landed a lucky shot because MMA fighters are so uncoordinated. Look at their records, it looks like the boxing records back at the turn of the century when everyone had losses due to inconsistency and un-professionalism.

He hardly beat Mercer anyways, yea he wrestled him around a bit. give Mercer a bit more time in the octagon and he would have knocked that bum Kimbo out to. Anyways, don't go saying "the first time he stepped up" BS, it was a lucky punch just like every other UFC bout, swinging for the fences and hoping to be next weeks champion.

It wasn't a lucky punch, it was an accident waiting to happen. Kimbo has no real boxing ability and it was just a matter of time when someone would catch him rushing in with wild punches. Unfortunately for him it ended up being a 200 lb no name who took the fight on a day's notice, crushing Kimbo's reputation as a street tough guy.

As I said, a boxer will always have a puncher's chance against just about any MMA fighter, especially the ones who prefer striking. All fights begin standing after all... Even the most "hardcore" MMA fans can admit that the striking in MMA is not at the level of professional boxing.

Anyone who thinks this fight proves that all boxers would be successful in MMA must be delusional though, considering that Ray Mercer previously lost a fight against a terrible MMA fighter in Kimbo Slice who was just smart enough to take him down and not stand and trade with him.

[Sin City]

wait, he threw a kick?
then what kind of fight was it? MMA?
It sure as hell wasn't boxing.

I actually saw this outcome coming. Sylvia has never truly shown ability to take people down or submit them, he just knows how to neutralize others from doing it. Considering how terrible most wrestlers are at striking, even a very mediocre Sylvia can manage to outbox them.

He had no chance of outboxing Ray Mercer though (old as he may be), and the 4 ounce MMA gloves made an early KO even more possible than it would have been had the fight been competed as a regular boxing match.

Coming in at 310 lbs, 50 lbs over his regular weight surely did not help. He did not take this fight seriously at all and paid for it, likely with his MMA career which is probably now over.

GIRLmachine finally comes out of the closet, HE IS AN MMGAY FANBOY!

And Kimbo actually used striking/boxing to turn Mercer against the cage, THEN took him down. He didn't immediately go for the takedown you moron. If anything a Boxer will have more trouble with a kickboxer than a mmgay grappler.

That "near 50 year old"(HOW CONVENIENT. You NEVER mention Mercer's age who is also nearly 50, because he is a boxer and you're not a boxing fan) was also succesfull for a long time in MMGAY, JUST like Sylvia.

And for you last sentence, you are really a joke. Kimbo go KO'd by a PUNCH. WHat is boxing? PUNCHING. If you wanted to show mmgay is superior you should have said something about grappling or ground game, but no, Bimbo was beaten in his own game. It just shows the level of boxing in your sport.

Now Girlmachine is saying if you can box and have good take down defense you will be more dominant for longer than Sylvia in mma.

[Patheticfraud?]

He got ktfo in 9 seconds because he tried to stand and trade with a better puncher instead of using his advantages. Get it through your skull. If i'm better than you at basketball but you're better than me in tennis then you'rve obviously not gonna wanna play me 1 on 1 if you want a shot at winning.

And it's already been proven that world class boxers cant make it in MMA with only boxing.

What world class boxer tried to make it in MMGAY that wasn't a tired, dusty, old has been?

I don't what your point is aside from trying to annoy me and everyone else with your ignorant ramblings.

Fact: Kimbo took down Mercer and submitted him which is what most MMA fighters would do.

Fact: Kimbo was knocked in 10 seconds the first time he faced anyone resembling a true MMA fighter.

And no, Tank Abbott doesn't pass as a legit MMA practitioner. He has never claimed to be one himself, just a street brawler who has a glorious record of 10 wins and 14 losses.
