Roy Jones Jr Heads To The UFC To Scout Anderson Silva

[Ogecca MaMa]

Roy beats silva in a boxing match
silva beats roy in an mma match

didn't Ray Mercer just beat Silva? Roy will destroy him

.....

Anyways, as I said before, this is the wrong fight to scout. Forrest isn't going to try to outstrike Silva, so look for the clinch as early and as fast as possible. This is going to be more of a grappling match then a strikers dance.

[Chase8400]

Silva has less than no chance to beat Roy boxing in a million years while Jones has a punchers chance in beating Silva before getting taken to the ground.

Can you imagine getting hit by a Rjj left hook or uppercut with a 6 oz glove on?

MURDER.

who was that boxer again? oh yeh NOT a pro boxer, just a guy who "Trained" in boxing

Man oh Man.... you got no clue. He is a professional boxer with over 50 fights

Art Jimmerson

he tapped out to a much smaller guy and couldn't even land a punch.

And he is not the only one,,,, but he is the most distinct due to the one glove issue.

Francois Botha lost to Sexyama in 04 via armbar.

and if you want to stretch the word professional, Butterbean losing to Genki Sudo in a freak show match up.

Yap, and the list goes on. By the way Francois Botha is no bum....in boxing

[UnDeniable]

Anderson is a monster and probably my 2nd fav fighter behind BJ but i don't want to see him get KTFO, he should forget about this fight

[ColtraneChanges]

Although Botha arguably beat Etienne and gave Tyson a scare before getting KTFO, I'd still say he's not a great example of a great boxer going into MMA.

I think it's possible for a boxer to be successful in MMA as long as he understands that he can't limit himself to just boxing. Think Machida and Karate.

A great MMA fighter beats a great boxer in a street fight though.
