Pro Boxer Viddal Riley Reacts To MMA Striking 

Shout out to MMA on Point for having the boy 👊🏾🔥

Absolute crime not to get his reaction to the "best boxer in the UFC" moment with Max Holloway.

Super refreshing to see a boxer giving MMA this much respect and understanding 🙏

I like how laid back and how much of a student he is. I hope he goes on to do great things.

Im glad to hear a boxer understand the difference between boxing in MMA and boxing in boxing.

Man, I could watch this dude analysing MMA for hours. Respectful and a true student in the art of striking. Cool guy.

"If someone is punching at you like that, why are you backing away like they're throwing bombs? Dismiss it, and knock them out. Why are backing up,? Why is this in round 2"? HILARIOUS and well said.

"It's as close to boxing technique as you're going to see with the dangers he has in front of him" That's more respect and understanding than I've ever seen a boxer give MMA.

Hahahaha. They really showed Askren's perfect striking technique here

Viddal is legitimately a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. I want to see people set up the big fights and let's see him prove himself. Viddal is talented as hell.

I think Chuck Liddell gets overlooked a lot for how he really changed the game, he was one of the first strikers to make some tweaks to his style that accommodated for clinch and takedowns. Not the first, not the only, but he really made it work for him in a way that was new and brought MMA striking to a new level.

Viddal is right. Even Teddy Atlas told Dustin after the Chandler fight that at the end of R1 if DP had mixed in even one body shot he would have gotten him out of there.

The team up I never knew I needed. As a fan of both MMA On Point (/FightFront) and Viddal I love to see this

I wish that the relationship between Boxing and MMA was always as respectful as this. They are both wonderful disciplines.

That video flew by like 30 second's! Very watchable 👌

I wasn't expecting this level of respect and understanding 👏

"she's doing better than Poirier". Love it.

Of course he points out MMA fighters' tendency to head hunt, and ignore the body. That has been an issue with MMA striking forever. Also the smile when Holloway comes on, he knows. Great video.

I've been wanting to see a video like this for ages. This could easily be a series

More Viddal reacting to mma striking pls!

He's spot on. Body shots are so underrated in the UFC. Stipes bodyshot adjustment vs cormier basically won him the title back. Colby does alot of body shots, think it works well with his fatiguing style. Great for overwhelming and exhausting, especially considering he doesn't have KO power.

This was really entertaining and pretty insightful, way better than I expected.

definitely need to have Viddal on again, awesome analysis and video

They need to do more of these. This guy is a fan of mma and very knowledgeable. Great advice

I love his respectful and realistic takes man, so refreshing when it really shouldn't be at this point!

Top Tier collab

That was so cool to watch your perspectives on these fights. Thank you!

This was a pleasure to listen to. I greatly appreciate the voice of a boxer talking about MMA fights without condescending to MMA. This was just good, clear analysis. And I also think building your following with a podcast or vlog is a really smart approach to the business side of fighting.

I would have loved to see him break down charles oliveira's left hook on chandler because man that's one of the most technical left hooks I've ever seen also an israel adesanya breakdown would be neat as well

And now I know of Viddal Riley thanks to you! Great stuff lads.

This was awesome! Thanks so much.

This video is awesome! would love to see a part 2

nice to see someone recognize that there are differences in mma striking and boxing for once. great vid

"Imagine you're winded and someone just BOOTS your leg, full power!" 🤣I never thought about how much that would suck until he said it like that lmao!

Went in to this video not expecting much but man this guy brought an incredibly nuanced perspective and appreciation for MMA. He's very perceptive and picked up on a lot of details I missed as an MMA fan. Bring this guy back for some more boxing break downs!

Love Viddal, it's good to see variety in the guests and in the content

I think you should have him watch more Dustin fights, they're is alot to look at there from a boxing perspective, he uses a lot of shifting combos, the modified Philly shell, ect.

This was awesome!

Great video, thanks for making it.

this video is sick i've been watching Viddal longer than I have been watching MMA on point, this collab is amazing, Viddal one of the best up and coming boxers and MMA on point one of the best MMA info and analysis channels

4:21 He's right, that was a good, strong leg kick. Props to the boxer for recognizing the effectiveness of a leg kick like that. I feel like most boxers wouldn't understand just how effective those are.

I really would’ve wanted to see him react to the Kattar Burgos KO because that timing on the uppercut with Shane’s knees buckling is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.

I love this! I would like to see more boxers react to MMA fights!

This was very good commentary. Thanks for doing this.

Great reaction video. This guy has a bright future as a commentator or a coach.

No clue who you are but I really appreciate the humility you've shown. Respect.

Veey good video I enjoyed that. Deffo keeping my eye out for Viddal now.

Great breakdown by a great boxer

missed a great opportunity to show Ilia Topuria's beautiful knockouts. Some of the cleanest boxing combos in his knockouts.

Dope , I especially like the tempo and the vibe , super chill whilst reviewing some bang bang . Totally worked , Big Ups !!

This was a great analysis with some insight from a different perspective (boxing) . Good job

The differences in striking between boxing and mma is so fascinating. Even boxing in mma is so vastly different to boxing in mma, like obviously it's more complex in boxing because the sport is centred around pugilism. But the defensive requirements for mma pugilism is an interesting avenue to explore for boxers

Awesome to hear a pro boxer showing respect to MMA striking and acknowledging the differences between the sports, rather than just looking at it from a boxing perspective and calling it sloppy as happens so often.

YOOOOO the collab i never knew I needed

I want to see more videos like this because the boxer should be an expert by now and MMA is a bit of everything so it was nice to see him breaking everything down.

Refreshing to see a boxer that is at all educated in MMA. He can see past his sport and understand that MMA has more options for attack and more options to beware of.

I like this guy. He shows respect to other warriors.

Great insight into the various clips,

He articulated all of his excellent points better than I could dream of doing. Really impressed.

I wish this dude all the best on his journey...but when he's done he should definitely become a commentator...he has great communicating skills

Admittedly I don't follow boxing, so I'd never heard of this guy. But I'm instantly a big big fan and will try to catch his next fight. Love his insight and his love for martial arts!

That was fun. I'd watch another of these.

This dude is super chill, I like him

I saw a lack of Head Mooovement.

Please more vids like This with Vidal or with any boxers or people from other martial arts. Hell even a karate guy whos competed watching Machida, Hiriguchi, Old GSP & Wonderboy

Very intelligent and insightful analysis

Homeboy is lit af just chillin watching fights lol hell yeah 💯

this man giving credit to the referees nowadays; stopping fights earlier, shows how he understands the role of a ref in fight. Refs are nit there to stop fights early, they are there to prevent unnecessary damages. kudos to this kid.

Seems criminal to not show him some Bobby Green boxing

Yo major respect!

Good to see him actually Understand and respect mma

I would love to see O'malley do a boxing match. His technique's, combos, output ability, able to throw moving backwards, plan this feet to transfer force velocity into his strikes. O'malley has surprisingly impactful punches and his ability to flow and feint, switch stances, changing rhythm, strike thru around guards. Level changing etc etc. I know some don't agree but O'malley to me is a legitimate skilled striker!

Dude is high asf reacting to MMA. Love it 😂

We need him to have more MMA reactions!!

That was a fun watch. Would have been cool to see Viddal react to elite MMA strikers like Prime Silva, Adesanya, etc. ;) Next time maybe

You can tell he's an mma fan because he can pronounce Gaethje 😂

Jake spoke about fighting Viddal. I would love to see him getting a piece of this guy. Atleast he's a legit skilled boxer and will be the first good competition he'll ever fight.

Well done. Ifl there are obvious similarities but at the end of the day MMA and boxing are diff sports. I think this is the first time I saw a boxer acknowledge that in his breakdowns. He points out about knees and kicks and elbows and td's and says things like, "This is as close as you can get to boxing technique while still considering the other weapons you have to worry about." Spot on. I like his chill, open personality too. Gr8 stuff

Aye fightfront got viddal on here. Keep up the content boys

This guy looks chill as hell. Would love to hang out with him for a few and hear about his come up.

One thing i'd point out to viddal is headhunting is more viable with a hurt opponent because the small gloves cant be used as shields like boxing gloves, otherwise enjoyed the video a lot

I actually learned from this, nice one

This was really enjoyable

“I’m telling you, that body stuff is not nice”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Should've analysed the entire Holloway fight. I wanna see him react to Max saying he's the best boxer in the UFC. And then ducking.

Great commentary from Viddal.

I actually really enjoyed this! Never heard of this guy until now.

This boxer is awesome he actually likes and respects MMA.

It would be cool to see if Jordan Burroughs on here giving advice to wrestling and MMA

I’ve noticed all these Uk fighters over the years have such a great mentality. They do not change. Such humble, genuine respectful people who appreciate art and poetry.

Killer breakdown!

Dope vid! Would love to see him rank the best boxers in MMA

His great at analyzing!

One thing to note a boxers defence is much different then mma as they only need to be concerned with the hands, but mma you need to be concerned with knees , legs , take downs and subs

Hope to see more of him

good stuff!

Would have liked to see him react to Silva, Edwards and Izzy

Finally someone said Nick Diaz’s boxing can be sloppy af. Same with Nick. They throw wide looping punches and tend to just overwhelm opponents with volume and cardio.

I could watch this commentary all day

Great video
