there's no way in the world this guy can compete at a world class level in the art of the Sweet Science!!! But he will continue to demolish guys like forrest griffin in the mma!
This is why I'm the perfect boxing coach for mixed martial artist and thai boxers. I have traveled and put my time in and have a great understanding of Boxing specifically for MMA. Freedie im sure is a great coach silva is not a boxer
i guess he didnt really have any power cuz he didnt look like he hit hard back wen he was in boxing. but most likely he got knock out power now cuz of all the leg strength trainig they do in MMA. but iseriously doubt he could win against roy jones
i wouldn't say silva's stand up sucks, b/c i've seen some of his boxing matches and he has pretty good footwork, and was pretty crisp with his punches, and he messes up everybody else in mma, b/c most of the fighters in mma can't fight standing up thats why the ground game is there
It will be very interesting fights Anderson Silva vs Machida and Fedor. Of course against Fedor he doesn't have any chances, but against Machida he probably could win.
for there are persons on this very page who calls this mans skill into question. to see all those ones follies would be amusing. would any of you like to quarrel with this man, mma rules?
its not that, Boxing as boxing is a different skill and training patters are also different. Stance, weight distribution, bobbin and weaving, he is just trying to adapt to the boxing style. He would never be as good as the best boxers. but his strength lies when he mix it with kicks etc. in a efficient way. The thing is there is no way around it if you want to learn how to box, learn it pure and then mix, the mistake of many MMA fighters is to learn to punch as an MMA fighter it dosent work
mma is for bums that were not good enough for boxing[he got beat by a brazilian bum that would last 2 minutes with an american/british bum] like this guy! he gets rocked by a journeyman so imagine what hayemaker would do to him
Man, ever since the success of Pacquaio, it seems like Roach is getting a lot of business. Not that Roach wasn't a good trainer before Pacquaio, that's clearly not the case. Roach with his experience in, and out of the ring, has always had skilled fighters under his tutelage. If Mayweather Sr.'s jealous, he has a good reason to be.
The thing i can not stand is ignorance when it comes to boxers/fans when it comes to MMA. They criticize the stand-up aspect of the game then calls the wrestling/judo/sambo/and jiu jitsu aspect "humping" they don't take in to consideration of having to have a decent level of balance to survive in a fight. They just solo work on one thing. I've done Muay Thai for 2 and half yrs now, boxing for 5, i've wrestled in HS and im a blue belt in BJJ. Im i perfect no but i would like to c a boxer tryitall
UFC fighters foot work suck ass! Thats why Anderson can slap them around like dogs. Boxing punishes a fighter for being hurt or out of shape. You can't hold if your tired or hurt, they make you fight or get your ass kicked. It sucks when somebody lands a good punch and the guy grabs his apownent to save his life or drag him down with his weight because he is to tired to stand up. You'r not only fight the other guy in boxing, you're fighting gravity.
oh coz when you said something about when a guy throw a good punch for a knockout the other guy holds on or something like that to prevent getting knocked isn't exciting, so my opinion is that it's good to avoid that punch and that is anything is necessary to do to avoid it, what kinda competition do you do?
Its hard to think of holding as a good thing coming from boxing. When you hold in boxing, the coaches hate it, the audience hates it, the fighters and the ref hate it. Its considered cheap of pussies. When you hold on, it means, you're tired or hurt. I know it doesn't mean that all the time in MMA, but I've seen it when I gets hurt and tackles the fighter to the ground to recover and rest. That shit sucks!
yeah, people hated it back then, they hated how Royce Gracie beat all the guys back in 93 by submission, until people appreciated what he has done, he proved the world that Gracie Jiu Jitsu is the best fighting style in the world, and he proved that standing up striking less effective than ground submission, I was like that before, I admit, at first i hated it, and now I see the beauty of it, the Beauty of reality combat, and that is why I'm into MMA, I only watch boxing coz of the Pacman
I train in MMA and really enjoy bjjj. With that being said BJJ is NOT the best fighting style in the world. If i'm in a street fight at a bar or some parking lot the last thing i want to be is on my back or even in full mount. If you're getting jumped or have to worry about the guys friends a guillotine, arm bar, triangle , kimura leaves you wide open for their friends to hit you. I would much rather be on my feet when it comes to multiple opponents.
lol there is no fighting style that can beat more than 2 or 5 people, you're best choice is, ask them to fight one on one, I would pick the biggest one and beat him to the ground, results are they would get scared or after beating that one guy you can always run away, you can be ready with multiple opponents but don't expect to win everytime
I disagree. Take some Krav Maga classes. You learn alot about keeping distance, striking one opponent then striking the other one. You also learn about how to move to confuse your opponents and so they'll run into each other and ofcourse good wrestling will keep a bunch of guys from taking you down. The ground is the last place you wanna be against multiple bad guys.
believe in what you believe, well I do kali, but that's about it, when it comes to fighting multiple attackers you either have to be big and athletic, but if you're not that big and not that strong like me, I rely on my knowledge, KNOWLEDGE BEATS TOUGHNESS
if you about to fight 5 people with no help is to run i dont care what you know.and if you cant run brake some shit even if its just on one guy that way the cops can find them if they dont kill you brake elbow and shoulder something he got to get treated pull they eye out kick to the nut fight dirty
agree, about running, there is no martial arts that can back you up against 5 people unless if you're really strong, best chances are is to convince them to fight the biggest guy and with Gracie Jiu Jitsu backing u up, you beat him and chances are they will get scared and walk away or after you choked him out better be prepared to run away
are you a moron? there is no way you can use BJJ in a fight period if its 5v1, even if its 2v1, BJJ becomes ineffective. You go for a submission and the other guy just knocks you in the face, your arms will be tied up. Your a fucking idiot, choke out the biggest in a 5v1? You dumb ass mother fucker, go out swinging like a man not running like a pussy.
@bballermc33 lol there is no martial arts that can back you up against 5 people, unless if you are really strong, you're the moron here, we're talkin about survival, chances are ask the big guy to fight 1 on 1, you beat him up with jiu jitsu, and if they all attack you, you can always run, you watch to much jackie chan movies boy thinking you can survive 5 people by swinging haha moron
mike vally has no prior martial arts experience and he fought 4 people at once. you dont have to be jackie chan to win an out numbered fight, if you had any repsect for MMA you would know that. my friend's older brother has trained JKD, Muay Thai TKD and BJJ and he fought 4 people at once, splashed a beer in one guys eyes, pushed one in the pool KOd the other 2, the one stayed in the water and the other guy stepped back after he could see what happened.
WTF your talking about? the true knowledge of gracie jiu jitsu and now size? Firstly size doesn't matter at all, strength does, which in an organized bout is constrained by weight.(You can only get so strong at a certain weight before it goes up.)
Do I expect a smaller guy to do exactly that? No, but I do expect that a smaller guy would have a much better chance 4v1 if he knew JKD, Muay Thai, & TKD instead of just BJJ
the thing about bjj is its fast to learn and the shit work fucking great on people that dont know it.i do mma and bjj and i have fought at parties and i have fuck people shit up as they was coming in and its hard to fight with a broke wrist or elbow jumped or not you not going to knock everyone out with one punch but brake a ankle elbow wrist and choke someone out is doable in a fight when they dont know whats happen to them you bjj must not be to hi
and now people love it when it goes to the ground coz anything could happened, coz both fighters are smart, and most people that hates it are mostly boxing die hard fans
Im referring to street fight to show how BJJ becomes ineffective when used during a 2v1 or 3v1, simply because you do not have enough time to apply a lock before getting punch, kicked, elbowed, held down, etc.
@Jahkillian I'm sorry but if you got hit with a 4 ounce glove you'd be holding on for dear life too. I'd like to see you try and "drag" a guy down to the ground, if you don't know anything about grappling then don't bother discussing footwork for an MMA fight. Boxing footwork is vastly different. A boxer light on his toes is just asking to get his face through the canvas with a top level grappler or wrestler. MMA footwork is probably more similar to kickboxing than anything.
NeoOsiris18, Anderson has the best foot work in UFC. Its exactly like boxing. Seeing how Anderson Silva was a pro boxer and then realized it would be easier in MMA he switched. He realized most guys in UFC can't even through a proper punch. You no why they do use 4 ounce gloves in boxing? LOL Every card would have a death on there hands or serious concussions. Mike Tyson with 4 ounce gloves would be INSANE. I admit a part of me would want to see that. lol
@Jahkillian Anderson wasn't actually a pro boxer first. His roots stem from his Muay Thai training well before his boxing, he'd trained since he was a kid. He'd been fighting vale tudo in brazil way back when. He's always done boxing and a few pro bouts, but its only been since he lost to Chonan that he really started elevating his boxing. For the longest time Silva was never really deadly with his hands. Silva was never a legitimate pro boxer ever in his early years nor was it ever his focus.
boxing is one part of fight and its not real fight bc in a real fight you get kicked elbow and knee thats why mma is great. plus boxing kills people is a sport not a death match mma you get knock out you done you brain is safe boxing you can kill yourself if you can get up to your feet and walk a lil. then next thing you know you talking like freddie roach slow.
tjx104, in a real fight, you can bit and kick in the balls, but you can't do that in mma. Its still a sport. And your statment on how mma is more safe then boxing is a myth or your opinion. They're both equally damaging in the long run. I can understand if your watching boxing from 1970 s or something to think that, but mayweather, jones jr, and even Qeorge Forman all talk fine. lol
lets but it this way knowing mma is better then know boxing. i bet anderson would beat jones jr 10 out of 10 times in a fight where you use what you know not just box. mma would be more useful the boxing in any street fight. if you fall or trip boxing not going to help. boxing is great and all but what will save your life mma girl and guys.i seen girls choke men to sleep in class.
@1sun3star "Hes trying to improve his stand up game."?? What the fuck are you talking about? He is a Muay Thai specialist! and black belt in taekwondo. And you're saying he's "trying to improve" his stand up? What a dumb statement.
i know that but b4 u start talkin shit wut i meant by his stand up game is his boxing stand up game,n if u read my fucking comment it says boxing at the end of it,damn fuckin ppl on youtube gets so worked up over little things n yes nizepart0519 ur one of them get fuckin laid n realease some of that stress will u,"what a dumb statement"he said, read b4 u talk shit.
maybe silvas boxing would not be that good against some good ass boxer but he has the best boxing in mma that plus his head movement and his lethal muay thai he is unbeatable and lest not forget that he is a bjj black belt he was born for fighting 10 an 0 in the ufc nobody has ever done that nobody
anderson is awesome....very humble.....thats why he will be great at whatever he does...as for pro boxing ...well from this video it seems he needs work but it could be that roach and him dont match up well on the mitts,,,,its hard to throw when your not use to the guy with hte mitts style.....anderson might be a beast in sparring but from this video he has work to do..but im sure hell be great at it eventually,,phenominal athlete and super humble.like him alot..thatd b awesome to train with him
anderson siLva was a boxer b4 he went into da ufc. he has win by KO and hes been KO'd as weLL. seeing that he's onLy had two professionaL boxing matches, its hard to say whether or not he.LL be any decent at it.
freddie roach has 21champions under his belt!!!! and manny paquiao has won belts in 7 weight classes.....freddie roach has the recoerd for most champions on and mayweatehr trained hatton when he fought paquiao and we all saw what happend...not trying to be a dick but thats the facts...roach is great trainer with many different types of fighters...not just one or two
@linkerdrich, yeah. Damn true. Most people when they become great, or what is considered to be great, they kinda relax, and or dont think anybody can coach them, because of pride or some childish stuff like that. That is why people like GSP is great. Admitting you need to learn stuff, and so on. Just like listening to elder people that know better because of experience. :D
What is Silva's background in Muay Thai? He seems to be a little big to have a serious background in Muay Thai! Did he ever train in Thailand or fight in Lumphini Stadium in Bangkok? I dont know any top level Muay Thai fighters who fight at 185 pounds or higher! If anybody knows anything about his Muay Thai background please respond!
there are many divisions in muay thai, the wbc has mt weight classes and rankings usually the biggest mt guys go to k-1 as there is not middleweight division. Anderson was a brazilian mt champ and is also a tkd black belt, although his kicks are nothing like tkd style. As far as i know he trained mt in brasil always, any thai boxers and well know kickboxers who are heavy come from holland.
I generally don't like mma its not my thing I'm a boxing fan but I have friend who love mma and I can stand watching it because of that (i hate the ground stuff) but I got respect for this guy because he's learning how to punch properly hence why he dominate in the UFC only other guy I like in mma is Rampage Jackson because he's just gives me too much Jokes
Silva's boxing is really good, but I dont think its just because of his boxing, as his muay thai is incredible, he's got the best knees in the sport, and on top of that he's a bbj black belt and has great take down defence!
Him learning how to box with Roach can only make him even better in his stand up. He already embarrassed fighters in stand up in mma, if he becomes a decent boxer, he wont lose a fight.
I appreciate when mma fighters give boxing a chance and try to expand their knowledge further in the "sweet science." I love both sports and their is plenty of room in this country for both. You have to appreciate fighters and there are plenty in both sports.
Its still amazes me how much knowledge Freddie Roach has in boxing guys like him and Teddy Atlas are like boxing encyclopedias. I can see why Anderson would want to work with such a trainer.
I dont think anybody should really make a big deal out of this. Silvas just sharpening his skill set from one of the greatest that ever lived. Its better to make mistakes in training than in the fight. He's just in the "lab" right now.
I am a kickboxer , i got good boxing , but a pro boxer is a pro boxer ............., but i can't believe that Silva wanted to fight Roy Jones jr .....
Boxing is just a different world in boxing and in this round of training they are playing alot of the inside range and its different you have to stay in the pocket theres no movement back and forth in the different ranges of striking Anderson in his fights plays alot of the mid range outside range to the inside so its different thats why hes keeps getting caught with that left hook cause in his fights he'll step out of range to make you miss then back in range to return fire...
So he's trying to expand his boxing skills with a 1 on 1 training session with Freddie, sure he leaves his hands low at times and Freddie tells him about but he betters because of it. Hopkins is 46 and is top 3 p4p fighters evolve nothing to disrespect him about
Yeah, ur right, but Pacquiao is just way behing him by 1 point... And not to mention ..Mayweather fought Marquez , a guy 2 weight classes below him and the arrange weight was 144lbs, instead mayweather insisted on 147 lbs... And in the weighins, Mayweather weighed an extra 2lbs heavier adn he REFUSED TO BE REWEIGHED again which pissed of the officials...Yes, all props to Mayweather for a dominant performance, but its about time he fought a real fight like Mosely and Manny Pacquiao...
Mosley will lose like nothing. Pacquiao is is the only guy who can beat him, and I don't think pacquiao can. Mayweather is the BEST, his technique is the cleanest, his accuracy the highest hin the history of boxing, and hes undefeated. And a few pounds is nothing. Mayweather could easily beat a guy who outweighed him by 10 pounds.
Ok believe what you want i respect your opinion and I have nothignagainst Floyd... I just hope he will accept a fight with Pacquiao, not for his sake or Pacquiaos sake, but for the sake of boxing and the whole boxing world..This is the fight they all want to see... Mayweather doesnt want 50/50, then lets make it 60/40 in favor of Floyd, hes the P4P now anyway so he can call the shots..Hopefully, Bob Arum and Floyd can for once set aside their differences and make the fight happen
Yeah, Floyd talks mad shit, I used to not like him for that. Now I just think it's funny. I hope it happens, if Floyd doesn't fight Pacquiao before he retires, next time I'm in vegas im gonna egg his house.
and mayweather split decisioned delahoya, pacquio made him quit 8th round. mayweather TKOd hatton in 10 rounds, pacquiao knocked him out cold in 2 rounds. your point?
My point is, boxing is more than "this guy beat that guy this many rounds faster than thats guy". Overall record, opponents, skill/ability, makes Floyd the best. Remember that Pacquiao has just reached this new level of skill, Mayweather has always had it.
mayweather dominated marquez beat hatton when he was undefeated beat oscar at his normal weight pacquiao won by a split decision against marquez and any1 who knows boxing knows marquez won that fight so whats your point
if you think that Anderson stand up game is good now....wait till freddie done with him.....it will be crazy.....plus he is fighting Roy Jones Jr in the near future......
He may not "N-E-E-D" this Roach guy per say, but what I like about Silva is that he always want to innovate, try new things, new approaches.Never stationary.Never conformed to his achievements, titles, belts, fame or anything like it.He humbly looks at this guy and think: "Roach must have something new to pass on to me". That's the attitude! Actually I wish it was true in every area of our lives.Hope he never loses until his soon-to-come retirement, then be forever remembered as the Greatest.
Roach is arguably the greatest boxing coach in the world. You're an idiot if you think training with him won't improve your stand up no matter what level you're at.
Freddy training Silva! Ho man... Silva has already such a good stand up... With Freddy's teaching he will become vertually unstopable.... Silva love to play Ali.
dude freddie roach .. is a good coach man.. he's a legend ! he's training boxers and mma professionals! .. haha.. he even trained Shaq hahah.. when shaq boxed with oscar! hahah

mike vally has no prior martial arts experience and he fought 4 people at once. you dont have to be jackie chan to win an out numbered fight, if you had any repsect for MMA you would know that. my friend's older brother has trained JKD, Muay Thai TKD and BJJ and he fought 4 people at once, splashed a beer in one guys eyes, pushed one in the pool KOd the other 2, the one stayed in the water and the other guy stepped back after he could see what happened.

good for him, do you expect a smaller guy do that? and it's Mike Vallely
sk8pirata 2 years ago
WTF your talking about? the true knowledge of gracie jiu jitsu and now size? Firstly size doesn't matter at all, strength does, which in an organized bout is constrained by weight.(You can only get so strong at a certain weight before it goes up.)
Do I expect a smaller guy to do exactly that? No, but I do expect that a smaller guy would have a much better chance 4v1 if he knew JKD, Muay Thai, & TKD instead of just BJJ

the thing about bjj is its fast to learn and the shit work fucking great on people that dont know it.i do mma and bjj and i have fought at parties and i have fuck people shit up as they was coming in and its hard to fight with a broke wrist or elbow jumped or not you not going to knock everyone out with one punch but brake a ankle elbow wrist and choke someone out is doable in a fight when they dont know whats happen to them you bjj must not be to hi

connymat 2 years ago
Im referring to street fight to show how BJJ becomes ineffective when used during a 2v1 or 3v1, simply because you do not have enough time to apply a lock before getting punch, kicked, elbowed, held down, etc.
bballermc33 2 years ago
@Jahkillian I'm sorry but if you got hit with a 4 ounce glove you'd be holding on for dear life too. I'd like to see you try and "drag" a guy down to the ground, if you don't know anything about grappling then don't bother discussing footwork for an MMA fight. Boxing footwork is vastly different. A boxer light on his toes is just asking to get his face through the canvas with a top level grappler or wrestler. MMA footwork is probably more similar to kickboxing than anything.
NeoOsiris19 2 years ago
NeoOsiris18, Anderson has the best foot work in UFC. Its exactly like boxing. Seeing how Anderson Silva was a pro boxer and then realized it would be easier in MMA he switched. He realized most guys in UFC can't even through a proper punch. You no why they do use 4 ounce gloves in boxing? LOL Every card would have a death on there hands or serious concussions. Mike Tyson with 4 ounce gloves would be INSANE. I admit a part of me would want to see that. lol
Jahkillian 2 years ago
@Jahkillian Anderson wasn't actually a pro boxer first. His roots stem from his Muay Thai training well before his boxing, he'd trained since he was a kid. He'd been fighting vale tudo in brazil way back when. He's always done boxing and a few pro bouts, but its only been since he lost to Chonan that he really started elevating his boxing. For the longest time Silva was never really deadly with his hands. Silva was never a legitimate pro boxer ever in his early years nor was it ever his focus.
NeoOsiris19 2 years ago
anderson was doing mauy thai before boxing and he do mma bc he can use all his skills and bc mma is harder to master then boxing

anderson is a black belt in bjj and any one that has a lil girl sign the up for bjj bc you dont have to be big or strong to fuck someone up
tjxl04 2 years ago
boxing is one part of fight and its not real fight bc in a real fight you get kicked elbow and knee thats why mma is great. plus boxing kills people is a sport not a death match mma you get knock out you done you brain is safe boxing you can kill yourself if you can get up to your feet and walk a lil. then next thing you know you talking like freddie roach slow.
tjxl04 2 years ago
tjx104, in a real fight, you can bit and kick in the balls, but you can't do that in mma. Its still a sport. And your statment on how mma is more safe then boxing is a myth or your opinion. They're both equally damaging in the long run. I can understand if your watching boxing from 1970 s or something to think that, but mayweather, jones jr, and even Qeorge Forman all talk fine. lol
Jahkillian 2 years ago
lets but it this way knowing mma is better then know boxing. i bet anderson would beat jones jr 10 out of 10 times in a fight where you use what you know not just box. mma would be more useful the boxing in any street fight. if you fall or trip boxing not going to help. boxing is great and all but what will save your life mma girl and guys.i seen girls choke men to sleep in class.

IMO Roach is the best boxing trainer in the world.
Mayweather jr would have been a champ if he was trained by anyone. Sometimes it's just like that. It's the fighter not the trainer. (E.g. Calzaghe)

@linkerdrich, yeah. Damn true. Most people when they become great, or what is considered to be great, they kinda relax, and or dont think anybody can coach them, because of pride or some childish stuff like that. That is why people like GSP is great. Admitting you need to learn stuff, and so on. Just like listening to elder people that know better because of experience. :D

What is Silva's background in Muay Thai? He seems to be a little big to have a serious background in Muay Thai! Did he ever train in Thailand or fight in Lumphini Stadium in Bangkok? I dont know any top level Muay Thai fighters who fight at 185 pounds or higher! If anybody knows anything about his Muay Thai background please respond!

there are many divisions in muay thai, the wbc has mt weight classes and rankings usually the biggest mt guys go to k-1 as there is not middleweight division. Anderson was a brazilian mt champ and is also a tkd black belt, although his kicks are nothing like tkd style. As far as i know he trained mt in brasil always, any thai boxers and well know kickboxers who are heavy come from holland.

Boxing is just a different world in boxing and in this round of training they are playing alot of the inside range and its different you have to stay in the pocket theres no movement back and forth in the different ranges of striking Anderson in his fights plays alot of the mid range outside range to the inside so its different thats why hes keeps getting caught with that left hook cause in his fights he'll step out of range to make you miss then back in range to return fire...

Now that Mayweather is back, pacquiao ain't the p4p king. He almost lost to Marquez a year ago, and Mayweather just dominated Marquez
samsunit144 2 years ago
Yeah, ur right, but Pacquiao is just way behing him by 1 point... And not to mention ..Mayweather fought Marquez , a guy 2 weight classes below him and the arrange weight was 144lbs, instead mayweather insisted on 147 lbs... And in the weighins, Mayweather weighed an extra 2lbs heavier adn he REFUSED TO BE REWEIGHED again which pissed of the officials...Yes, all props to Mayweather for a dominant performance, but its about time he fought a real fight like Mosely and Manny Pacquiao...
CopyNinja87 2 years ago
Mosley will lose like nothing. Pacquiao is is the only guy who can beat him, and I don't think pacquiao can. Mayweather is the BEST, his technique is the cleanest, his accuracy the highest hin the history of boxing, and hes undefeated. And a few pounds is nothing. Mayweather could easily beat a guy who outweighed him by 10 pounds.
samsunit144 2 years ago
Ok believe what you want i respect your opinion and I have nothignagainst Floyd... I just hope he will accept a fight with Pacquiao, not for his sake or Pacquiaos sake, but for the sake of boxing and the whole boxing world..This is the fight they all want to see... Mayweather doesnt want 50/50, then lets make it 60/40 in favor of Floyd, hes the P4P now anyway so he can call the shots..Hopefully, Bob Arum and Floyd can for once set aside their differences and make the fight happen
CopyNinja87 2 years ago
Yeah, Floyd talks mad shit, I used to not like him for that. Now I just think it's funny. I hope it happens, if Floyd doesn't fight Pacquiao before he retires, next time I'm in vegas im gonna egg his house.

My point is, boxing is more than "this guy beat that guy this many rounds faster than thats guy". Overall record, opponents, skill/ability, makes Floyd the best. Remember that Pacquiao has just reached this new level of skill, Mayweather has always had it.

He may not "N-E-E-D" this Roach guy per say, but what I like about Silva is that he always want to innovate, try new things, new approaches.Never stationary.Never conformed to his achievements, titles, belts, fame or anything like it.He humbly looks at this guy and think: "Roach must have something new to pass on to me". That's the attitude! Actually I wish it was true in every area of our lives.Hope he never loses until his soon-to-come retirement, then be forever remembered as the Greatest.
