Boxing Skills takes years to learn compared to grappling. Being able to telegraph and sway away or block a punch at a thousanth of a second ain’t no easy feat 😂
Its funny how time changed and that aged like a milk 😂 MMA fighters cant win against a youtuber in a boxing match jake paul and his brother " Anthony joshua knocking the best mma fighter ...old ray mercer knocked an mma champion silva in 16s inside the octagon
Strange how Toney could be in a combat sport and be so clueless. The only question is .. how low would have to go in UFC weight classes to actually have a legit chance of winning! I'm guessing it's below lightweight!
Old Ray mercer knocked down mma champion in 16s inside octagon? A youtuber jake paul knocked down all UFC fighters in boxing matches? Joshua knocked down ngannou😂😂
"If someone just takes me down, I'll just throw an uppercut." I'll bet all the wrestling based MMA guys are shaking in their trunks now. Welp, turns out all those years of Wrestling went down the drain you guys, beware those uppercuts.
tbh dana white ruined mma. It could have been bigger than boxing if he wasn't so greedy. He refused to pay his fighters a fair sum. That's why they don't have multi-million dollar matches unlike boxing.
Ray Mercer vs Tim Silvia proves that toe toe no mma fighter would ever come close to a boxer. All that wrestling doesn’t always work against someone who can actually fight
I believe the sport has evolved tbh I don’t think this would happen because Connor vs Floyd, Anderson Silva vs Julio Caesar Chavez but at the end of the day I respect all combat sports athletes
I have a lot of respect for boxing. As a matter of fact I enjoy watching it a lot more than modern day "MMA". None the less James Toney looked like a fish out of water against Randy Couture. Low single takedown to a malling. Ending with a side arm choke. If it were a boxing match yeah James would have best Couture silly. Different ball game.
Idk who is still watching this video in 2022 but I’m glad that I tend to meet people that are fans of both sports and understand that they are both in fact different and awesome in their own ways. Yeah, I mean I’m sure there are still people that hate one and love the other but generally I see people that follow athletes of both sports and like both. That’s how it should be, because they are both incredible sports.
Boxers like James Toney are dumb!!! Common sense boxing is just punching while MMA is boxing, kicking, knee, elbow, chock, armbar and what I mentioned is just a few. Jezz!!! when will MMA vs. boxing will ever end realizing that MMA is far better than boxing!!!
What about UFC 118 Randy Coture v James " I didn't tap out" Toney. But in all seriousness James was the ONLY boxer to step up and fight in mma. As opposed to crossover events which are all boxing events instead of more boxers training to compete in mma🤔😀. Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Prime Mcgregor got washed by Mayweather, Ben Askren got washed by a RU-vidr, Frank Mir washed by Cunningham..... MMA fighter have not won in boxing yet.... James Tony got washed in mma, Ray Mercer beat a mma champ, Ricardo Mayorga won in mma, Holly Holm won in MMA, Mia St.John won in mma, Elena Reid won in MMA.... numbers don’t lie Boxing wins.
James tony has brain damage here already, speech is slurred. Great fighter I am surprised with he"s elusiveness that he got caught. Holyfield, I see you not far behind..
MMA practitioners are masters of nothing. They don't do anything well. They can't punch for shit. They are a jack of many trades but a master of none. The sport is overrated.
