    Roach and GSP

    They've been working together for sometime now and it looks like his hands have improved. In his comeback fight last night, up a division, he slipped a right then landed this hook.

    Which eventually led to the strangulation finish. Great job by Roach in improving a predominantly wrester/grapplers hands enough to win the MW title! Great press for boxing as well!

      GSP is the man, glad he's back in the picture. Not a big UFC aficionado but I do believe he's always had good boxing, think he beat up a guy with just using the jab once.

        Since the May/McGregor fight, I now completely discredit the punching ability of all MMA fighters in regards to speed, power and ability to take a hit.

        That being said, still a cool clip and smart of GSP to hook up with a proper boxing trainer.

          I've been trying to get that across to people for years. The MMA gloves are part of the ko power cuz they're like bricks.

            Ya he landed dozens of jabs on Koschek and eventually broke his orbital. He's always loved boxing.

              If you watch carefully you'll see he first lands the left into his lat area hard (you can see Bisping's rear lat taking the impact) before he throws it again into his face.

                gsp looks juiced to the gills. he was tiring fast and was fortunate to hurt bisping and finish that fight. it wasn't looking good for him if he had to go 5.

                  Didn't even see that, so it was a slip and jab to the body at the same time and then a lead hook to the head for the knockdown. That's some pretty advanced ****!
