Michael inspires all of us that kickbox and aren't the tallest or the guy with the longest legs. Shorter people shouldn't be discouraged, I find that it's harder to fight people that are more "grounded" and "stocky."
I agree. I don't believe the saying a good big en will always beat a good small en. I am short for a heavyweight boxer (5ft11) & i absolute love it. Nothing fells better than when a big lad tries using his reach by just jabbing then you see an opening & bring him down to size :P
I find that anyone who knows how to utilize their size to relative maximum potential is extremely dangerous. Perfect example is Bonjasky vs Mcdonald. Stand still all match because even tho 1 is short and stocky and the other is tall and lanky.
yea, I was just chillin with Mikey D the other day, we were sittin in Time's Square smokin a blunt and all of a sudden, he just got up and started doing spinning round house kicks and running laps around the square. I'm tellin you guys, even at 44 he's got amazing cardio, and his bud's not too bad either.
Yo is it just me or did K1 have the BEST heavyweight fighters on the planet. Oh shit, where are most of those guys?? Ernesto Hoost, McDonald himself, Mark Hunt etc. They would do soooo well in the UFC.
Well, Hoost has retired from fighting. Hes now training some very well rounded fighters. McDonald is sadly on a slow decline to retirement. Last time I saw Mark Hunt he was in Pride FC doing very well. I'll have to get up to date on each fighter.
Yeah, I always did hate the fact that he only has one or two other highlights, and they both are either poor quality or just not good in general. At the time I didn't have much to work with (as you can see). I think I did a decent job though. The black sniper must be recognized! Hes a very talented fighter, and kind person.
yup, hes my favorite K-1 fighter. and bonjasky or ponjasky or how ever you spell his name robbed him. but the video is good though, i just want to see more of him.
You probably won't be seeing any more of him. Hes starting to get old now. Even before he was in and out of the ring. Reminds me of Alexey Ignashov. Seems like that's been happening to all the greats.
He was the first fighter a saw when I found out about K-1 fighting. I was watching TV on a late night with my girl and we saw him damn near kick this guy's head off. Then he turned around and did the same thing to his next opponent. The black sniper is amazing.
very very nice HL props to you homie..and emphyrean funny but the first k1 that have watched was also McDonald. he is the reason i started doing kickbox my self..my trainer is the ex trainer of Warren Stefelmans a K1 fighter. Warren even invited me to train with him once we were in a club. but anyway McDonald a Great fighter..i wish he gonna do another fight someday.
I think I'll have to agree with 74SU on that one. Although MM does have a two meat seeking missiles for legs I wouldn't put in him the top 3. Keep in mind, they don't call him the black sniper for nothing...
I made this HL on my other computer. So, I don't have that file anymore :[. Although you can probably find it on daily motion. Or just download it on limewire or something.
Hoost outweighs McDonald by like a ton. If McDonald was Hoost's weight he would kill him in a fight. I've been to K-1 in Vegas twice and I'll tell you that the only reason McDonald isn't a K-1 world champion is because he is smaller than most of the other competitors.
Most people compare kick boxing to regular boxing is because of the fact that kick boxers use more of their body as a weapon. Such as legs, knees, and elbows. With that they have to train more parts of their bodies to become deadlier. So, it's easy to see why people think kick boxers are better all round when comparing them to normal boxers.
Who are you to say that? Andy Hug died in 2000 so he should be compared to some fighters up to that point. And if you see his records, being him alive today he would be probably on top
michael mcdonald would beat mike tysons ass!!! first of all mike tyson is a boxer mike mcdonald would kick the fuck out of mike tyson u probly dont even kno who michael mcdonald is, you are an idiot, most kick boxers would beat any normal boxers any day of the week you are seriously retarted

He probably has the best form and, p4p, the most explosive power of any K1 fighter ever. In this sense, he is the Mike Tyson of K1.
Unfortunately, he unloads those perfect combos seemingly at random; he has no sense of timing - and this may be why his record is so mixed.
