Old Boxer meets MMA fighter

[Equilibrium]

I'm not going to get into that boxing vs mma argument, i like both sports.


That being said Mercer is the ****ing man, and Sylvia is a clown, always has been.

Never Saw the Don Frye video before... Ouch... Everyone should realise that street fighting isn't even close to a fair sport. So many factors.

LMFAO @ The Promo video. Like a HS project or something.

Probably cost next to nothing to make.

****, i can find some videos of Sylvia when he was considered a contender in the UFC and you'll here Rogan and co. praising the guy about his power.

you have to love the support from the MMA community for Sylvia. they totally disown him as if he was never a part of the sport.

Sylvia was always a B-class fighter... That became obvious when he finally faced some good competition (Nogueira, Couture, Fedor) and lost. He had two good wins (Rodriguez and Arlovski), but that had more to do with the kind of mindset those two had at the time, and luck (especially in second Arlovski fight).

When Mercer KO'ed him, i was really happy... Now, we won't have to listen about Timmah for another year or two.

somebody said sylvia has always been a clown. no he hasn't. he was a two time hw ufc champ constantly tko'ing ppl and being praised for his striking. comparing boxing to mma striking is like comparing a leica and a samsung 5mp camera phone. that's what mma is essentially, a cheap made-in-china camera phone.

and streetfight-wise 9 out of 10 times it's a first-second combo punch kayo.

ts, good post.

The UFC as well as their announcers are horribly biased, not represantitive of what real fans think.

He was basically winning fights with his size a lone. He hasn't really been praised for his striking so much. I've only heard him praised for his work ethic in the gym.
