Absolutely love this matchup. These guys aren't cocky, they're very confident and very very smart. Very cagey. They are masterful psych manipulators, and that's what the style flash and antics are for. These moves manipulate their opponent AND entertain the crowd at the same time. It's very deliberate, very well thought out, very effective and very very difficult to do regularly at a high level and maintain the level of success that these guys have.
Point fighting gets corny when niggas is just hopping around then lunge forward head first into a blitz. These guys mad cocky too. Speaking as a point fighting champion myself I cant stand watch some of these dudes spar. smh. like these points should not be drawn out into unnecessary hopping for 45 seconds. Like hit ur opponent.
These are quite literally the two best strikers out there in today's day and age. Their speed, timing, distance control, footwork, reaction speed, sharp technique, etc. are so extremely high level it's unbelievable. I enjoy watching all of both RD's and MVP's fights without fail every time :D
I'm so glad i'm not a judge for this, lol. Two of the best that ever played the game difference of fractions of fractions of a second between the shots that made contact. no way I'd call it accurate
As an outsider to this scoring system - I felt MVP was doing more and connecting more throught the bout. Was that knockdown where he lost balance and sat scored that highly?
No this is W.A.K.O Kickboxing...in the GB open.Went there with our Dutch team Then.This fighting system is point stop system. Normalie with WAKO you keep fighting afther a point.Thatscthe normal system.Same as I.T.F Tae-kwondo..But at the GB open i had to Fight Daniells ones...hé was mutch jonger than. That time i won...But the years afther that one hé got way way more confident .Ant afther that year in the finale manny times it was between M.V.P and Daniells.Still love to see the new generations..I advise to see matches of a training friend of mine...Tomaz Barada from Slovenië. Hé,s the 6 time Europese champ and 3 times World champ itf Tae-kwondo And 5 Times World Champion W.A.K.O Kickboxing...He,s a Dangerous Tasmanië Devil ego dominated the I.T.F Tae-kwondo World And the W.A.K.O Kickboxing World for 15 years. Its a shame he came to late for the uprishing of MMA...😃💪💯👊
Daniels drops him with beautiful rrear cross to the sternum perfect timing precision ..thats why he would beat mvp in mma more power than his point fight style and smaller glove
Interesting ... Raymond slow to raise as a star as if he was doing that intentionally while Michael fast raise as a star doing that intentionally . The way I look at it as if Raymond is the old lion and Michael is the young lion rasing to be the king of the cage while Raymond pick the right time just to walk in and walk out graciously compares to Michael to walk in and walk out roaring saying here I am and I am here to claim the Bellator .
Never got this style. Both great fighters but this style? I don't see the point. It's more like armoured tag..may as well fight with a baloon on a stick
point karate. it’s very effective if you have an understanding of other martial arts. it’ll be hard to beat someone with this style in a real fight. hit and not get hit. watch their kickboxing and mma fights. this style is what gave them a lot of success.
@@phillipward6015 exactly. They could stand toe to toe and trade punches like other formats, or they could have amazing speed and timing, so they fence with each other looking for an opening. It's more like fencing mixed with chess tactics than just knocking the crap out of each other. I trained along side mvp's father back in the 90's. The points format back then was a bit less tag like until the hey days of Kev brewerton and Alfie Lewis, but the training is just the same. High fitness and hard sparring. That's why they can both fight in other formats like mma too.
@@emmy4537 both are supremely athletic but this isn’t in any way fighting. They whole point of the UFC being invented was to show that this kind of stuff doesn’t work in a real fight. Like I said it’s basically tag, which they also have a world championship for now 🤦🏻
@@kevinbryantsr.6443 you’re clueless. it’s an effective base because most people don’t know how to fight against it. it translates well into mma and kickboxing. like I said, go watch either of their mma fights. daniels also competed in kickboxing. my cousin and coach (bobby seronio) has the same base and competes in bellator (2-0 about to be 3-0), and no one knows how to deal with our style. there are also fighters like stephen thompson who made a name for himself.
@@gabegabes6419 I said what the hell is bull ship. I didn't ask if it made up 2 words. So did you graduate from highschool, and when you were in school were you in special education.
