Lol...That's messed up. WHAT A KICK!!!

A lot of the old boxing guys can't deal with kicks. Hell, they can't even deal with punches by the time they go to K-1. A lot of them think they will get some easy wins but end up getting shocked when the K-1 guys throw **** at them and they have no idea how to defend.

K-1 and boxing are different sports. What makes someone think they can just switch back and forth is beyond me.

I don't know what they're thinking. Didn't Mike Tyson sign some contract to compete in K-1 prior to the Danny Williams fight? Vince Phillips tried the same thing and that didn't work out too hot either. Completely different training, different strategies, different sport.

I think at the time with Tyson...he actually requested that it be boxing rules

Boxers think they can fight trained K1 fighters with eas. Boy, they are totally wrong. Not one former boxer has gained success so far, not Botha, Briggs or Mercer. I think Mercer tasted the toughness of K1 and perhaps with his age (39) in mind he will quit with all fight sports.

i think to befair to ray, he's older than 39, i think he's like 44 or something, he's been shot for a while no

I haven't seen much of K-1 or know much about it.....other than kicking, what's so different about it? I mean, like the strategies and stuff that you guys are talkin about. I'd like to be enlightened on that.
