MMA fighters have better striking skills than Jean Pascal. Agree or Disagree ?

[Monte Fisto]

I don't care much for B-Hop or Pascal. But, I've seen Pascal fight twice prior to tonight's bout. And based on those two fights, I really don't see anything Pascal does well, he obviously has some speed and some pop, but, really, he has the boxing ability that would make Urijah Faber proud, lmao


** FYI - This thread was originally created right after the first B-Hop - Pascal fight**

no, come on, pascal was in against a master, and although he does have bollo punches and is wide, he's in and out pot shot kind of fighter, it either looks really good or very amateurish, tonight it looked amateurish most definitely.

You're right, he was in against a wily vet. But, Pascal has always looked amateurish to me.

Put his @ss in there against A. Silva in a boxing match, I seriously would not be surprised if The Spider comes out on top. Hell, throw in Ramapage Jackson in there.

Do us a favour and shoot yourself in the fucking head with a *******.

those would be exciting fights for sure, and to be honest, i think really competitive fights at that.

coming out on top is a stretch, but exciting non the less, the styles in boxing would be really fun to see. to be honest, as a fight fan.

i'll watch anything fight........

That's a bit of a stretch, haha. It takes a bit more to be WBC LH champion than speed, pop, and power. It may not look like it when you throw in Pascal with a technical master like B-Hop, but he has subtleties that would make his hands drastic in comparison to fighters like A. Silva and Rampage. Jean would make quick work of them because of their lack of hand experience.

Man, I've seen Pascal's last two fights prior to tonight, he didn't look any better.

Didn't say he would look any different, but you got Hopkins throwing in every punch in the book by setting it up in the text book way, while you have Pascal who went his entire career nullifying most other fighters boxing arsenal by power-shot spurts. Because he doesn't use his jab and swings wide doesn't mean he's as bad as MMA fighters.

I dont think there is any MMA fighter alive with the striking ability to knockdown Hopkins once or even come close to it, let alone drop him twice.
thats my opinion.
