  • In a match between a pro boxer and a seasoned CQC specialist, the boxer trains to strike the head and body, the CQC fighter trains to strike vital targets of the body, to include the eyes, throat, knee caps, groin, etc. The CQC fighter also employs low level kicks, sweeps, knee strikes and stomps. Conditioning, stamina, mindset and the ability to take a punch also play a major role. If I had to go hand-to- hand with the enemy, I wouldn't mind having either one of these warriors with me.

  • Let me start by saying, I had the priviledge of having SSG Holifield serve under me while stationed at Ft. Bragg back in the early 90's. For the record, SSG Holifield brought significant change and attention the Armys hand-to-hand combat program during his 10 year career. SSG Holifield was also featured in many official U.S. Army publications to include: Soldiers, Military Police and Army Trainer for his work in military combatives. He also submitted changes to FM 21-150 (Combatives).

  • This video is an insult to Evander holyfield.Evander has traded with Tyson,bowe,Lewis and many others.Leanord gets hit by any of these guys ONCE and he goes to sleep.In a ring Holyfield wins easy,on the street leanord had better wrestle him for his chance to win.In a stand up street fight only one winner again Holyfield.Always remember that four time heavyweight champs can hit very hard and can get hit very hard.t,If Evander had done martial arts , he would have been a great at that aswell

  • @azraelangeloffred First, thank you for serving. There simply was never anyone who had the official title of Chief Combatives Instructor to the US Army. Nor did any one individual "make" FM21-150. In his videos he moves like a beginner. Believe me, I'm on your side, having done 3 years in the army and presently a security contractor. I want all my brothers-in-arms to be aware of what they are getting and that's the only reason I bring this to your attention.

  • i reckon evander would hav been good in mma in his prime at cruiserweight cause he was so well conditioned and very physically strong stronger than tyson.

  • Oh, yes; and as per bilvis48 "DON'T 'AXE' ME DAT!"

  • Leonard Holifield has lied about about his military and martial arts experience, is not a "professor" or "doctor" of anything and there is no such title as "Chief Combatives Instructor to the US Army".

  • @pedinkus there is proof and documentation of his status as a Cheif Combatives Instructor of the US Army, and at the time there WAS such a rank, before the MACP. He also made the FM 21-150, which is available in PDF form, if you wish to view it. For the record, I am a US Soldier, currently in Victory Base in Iraq, and there is legit documentation stating his background in the martial arts and history in the army. His books are also sold at various PX's on military bases, where I purchased one.

  • DONT ''AXE'' ME THAT!

  • I am a longtime martial artist with a blackbelt in Vale-tudo (no holds barred fighting) and let me tell you... you have no idea how hard it is to hit, take down or do any damage to a real pro boxer!! You will never be so frustrated or hit so hard until you spar with or fight a pro boxer. Evander wins this one no problem!

  • this guy will not stand a chance in mma,k1 or boxing

  • Great post vincepell, some good insight from someone with expereince. The martial artist shines when he is on the ground, the boxer, on his feet. Kemp &Tae Kwon Do &boxing are both very potent fighting styles.

  • They done lost their mind. Evander woud hit his cousin once and the fight would be over. I'm a martial artist with a black belt in Kempo and Tae Kwon Do and no matter what you learn they still have taught you how to trade punches with a boxer especially one of Evanders caliber. We Know Evander can recover but can Leonard recover from a shot from Evander. To believe that because you know karte that your technique is superior is idiocy. A boxer is a far better striker than a martial artist!!!

  • The names are spelled different due to the govenrment when they started to allow blacks to enlist in the service they did not want them to be confused with the whites. I know this because my name is spelled the same with and "I"but my grandfather name was offically spelled with an Y.  Some black people at that time did not have SSN. But we are all related rooted from Moundville Alabama and Mississippi.

  • why are their last names spelled differently?

  • @bangemsmurff shut the fuck up, you don't need to compete to be a great fighter. he was a military combatives instructor, I think he is definitely qualified.

  • lol put them both in a ring, evander walking out without a scratch. put them both in the jungle, and leonard is walking out without a scratch. put them in the living room at a family cookout, now thats some good action. thats when we will see whos wants to win more lol.

  • I would not be so sure sure he is a no holds barr combat intructor and he has good solid skills

    but Evandar took on the beast Iron Mike and it not like Evandar could not do a low kick or a sweep move

  • military fighter vs a boxer is zero contest....right cross vs 7.62mm? lol

  • Its common sense. Leonard knows throws, kicks, joint locks, wrestling, and of course: boxing.

    Evander knows what? Boxing, thats it.

    Leonard is a soldier and if there is no rules, he would eat Evander.

  • Yea but he is a world class boxer...a heavyweight champion..a fight is very much about reflexes and speed, and he has them (or had them). Imagine all the fights he has been in..fights are very different from gym sparring.

  • Yeah but Leonard was a soldier and was in combat. Isn't that the same, or even more than what Evander has done?

    Being in REAL combat makes you rely on instinct, reflex, and everything Evander had to do.

    On top of that, Leonard is no softy mcdojo martial artist. He's not where he is today unless he was a REAL fighter.

    Not only that, hes done Shotokan karate and that shits ruff !!! And is a master at another form. Speed and reflex are vital in those too.

  • Could be, but if there's no documented footage of him in real man to man combat, I think its unfair to say he would beat Holyfield..which has tons of documented wars..its like saying Leonard is better than every other boxer ever.

    its the same type of discussion you have with Bruce Lee followers..oh he can beat this and that..because someone said he was in many streetfights in Honkong and beat other martial artists...fine ! but show me a real fight with him then lets talk. Theres to much TALK !

  • If Leonard has fought in MMA and won many fights then he would most propably win over Evander.

    But my guess is he is just another one of those who pretend they are the shit but too pussy to prove it in the cage kind of guys.You know, the ones who advertise in Black belt magazine with all these ''street lethal systems''.

    Evander would put him to sleep in no time.

  • dude evander 4 time heavy weight of the world vs leonard holyfield?? haha cmon seriously thats a stupid question..

  • Leonard Hollifield come on you are NO evander hollifield.

  • Leonard Holifield has a series of dvds on the Century Fitness website; they're being sold for something silly like ten bucks a pop. I think they're a real bargain. They're part of the old Panther Video series, so they have too much repetition, but they have a lot of useful and direct technique. Are they perfect? No, bu they sure are better than most martial arts materials floating around, even though they have weaknesses becauses of their age. The attacker chambers first, for instance.

  • I don't see anywhere, where Leonard Holfield challenged Evander to any type of fight. I believe that the question was just raised by someone as to who would win such a fight. If I had to chose, I'd put my money on Prof. Holifield simply because he has the strength, stamina and power that Evander has, plus Prof. Holifield's combat system and style of fighting has no rules! A strike to Evanders groin, throat, kneecap or spine would surely put a quick end to the fight.

  • YEah, but Evander could also punch those places. you think that just because he is a boxer he dont know how to punch someone in his nuts ?

  • haha

  • in a hypothetical situation evander has a few things going for him, very heavy strikes and very quick strikes. his disadvantage comes if leonard manages to take him down where the superior striking learned from boxing is somewhat negated.  The real thing to realise is that it would likely be a short fight thus negating the boxer's superior stamina and staying power. a takedown and a strike to the throat, evander goes down, a well placed hook and leonard goes down. I'd put the odds at 50/50.

  • Another guy claiming that a Boxer would always beat a martial arts expert (a truly one)... that was the same thing all people said back on 1993 before the first UFC competition (the only UFC event with practically no rules). But then they realized the true power of martial arts when master in Jujitsu Royce Gracie beat skilled and heavier boxers than him. Did you know that Leonard used to teach those same Jujitsu techniques to the military, along with many other martial arts?

  • Yea but isnt this video more or less another guy who once again says that anyone doing karate, bujido, kaywado, ching chung, or whatever, can beat any boxer with ease ? btw, Tim Silvya just got koed by a good old fashioned right cross.

  • Bruce Lee is the founder of MMA and anyone who doesn't admit that is a fuckin retard .

  • He's the founder of JKD, mate. I'll admit he had the idea for it, and he was right, but there wasn't any MMA competition created because he said so. None 'til the nineties, which wasn't started because of Bruce, he still had it bang on though. Would've been nice to see how he would've faired in the UFC early days.

  • considering Lee was training the same types of techniques gracie used, was 10x faster and more mentally prepared than most fighters were back then.. We wouldnt have a million blahdoway vs MMA threads and videos, it would be JKDsport vs JKDstreet... :/

  • dont axe me that.

  • you sound like you got raped by your teachers and enjoyed it.

  • Get a life! I'm outta here!

  • shut the fuk up, you learn how to talk like that from your english teacher, fukn pansy fag

  • Wow, your more ignorant than I thought? Why should anyone waste time with you!!! Go back to school and try listening to the teacher this time. Maybe you'll learn something, like how to write and spell!

  • Get into a fight and see if your supposed "eal world" techniques work you bitch. Youll be swingng like a woman

  • What the fuck is "eal world"? Before you post, first learn how to spell!!! It makes you look dumber than you actually are!

  • If after all this time, theres still retards alive that believe Bruce Less is god and These supposed martial arts are killers. Get real.

  • It's Bruce Lee, not (Less). Hey dude, your really looking stupid here. I'm trying to help you out. Work on your spelling before you post!!!

  • what did you say again? oh ye, your a homo sexual who got touched by his teacher(dad)

  • Yall don't be talkin about him in a bad way kay good!! Oh and I'm not jokin

  • Hes an INSTRUCTER, thats the key word. How many legit fights has he won? oh ye, NONE. We all saw these Supposed Martial Art experts in the early UFC's, they all got fuked up.

  • Your right! he's one of the top instructors in the country! But, he was a street fighter long before instructing or joining the army! So if you don't know the mans history, shut the fuck up! Also, the UFC (does) have rules dumbass!!! You can't gouge out the eyes, crush the throat or twist and break the neck, which is exactly what holifield teaches and how he fights! I know because I trained under him at Ft. Bragg. It's called REAL WORLD fighting!

  • Shut the fuck up. You've never fought in your life. Go shut the fuk up and watch a few early UFC's in which there was only 2 RULES. No Eye gouging and biting. Thats it. This guy would get his ass handed to him, ive fought more street fights than you can imagine, doesnt mean shit, street fights are againats bums not training pro's. And if you cant win a fight because of no eye gouging than your shit.

  • in a boxing match its evander. anything else, leonard. i mean come on, the man taught our military how to fight for years. hes obviously no dumbass street fighter.

  • That's interesting to know. I didn't know evander had a cousing that was a karate expert. Not all martial artista are bullshit artists. There are exceptions. Seriously though why does it really matter.

  • evander would whoop that ass. hes an acomplished fighter. not sum bullshit karate master, there seems to be thousands of those guys.

  • You have no idea who Leonard Holifield is, and what he has accomplished in the martial arts world. Leonard is one of the most respected combative instructors in the world.

  • All of U that don't think Dr. Holifield is not the real deal because he's not in the UFC. All I have to say on that is: DON'T LET THE SMOOTH TASTEFULL U!!!! S.K.F. Akron,OH

  • You don't need to be in the UFC to be a good fighter. You think ALL the best fighters in the world all fight in the UFC?

  • every one knows kimbo is a good street fighther he can beat up the average joe and can beat up fat old boxers if he had a fight with someone who is the same age and knows something about mma wud kick his ass so bad he wud turn him white

  • come on man this professor could beat up holyfield most probably.

    rememeber ray mercer who beat a prime holyfield and prime lewis.

    the same ray mercer got beat up by sum bum called kimbo in just 1 minute.

    a white fat cop also beat up kimbo

  • nah kimbo lost to the fat white cop cause he had nothing left no stamina the white dude just had more

  • Then again I know some really famous NFL player,You have to remember holyfield is a star but not learnardo, as far as am concerned this video could be made up. Learnodo is some kind of cop or whatever but no superstar and therefore i believe u could know they family.

  • this is silly I actually know the holyfield family leonardo holifield has been beaten in the street by average people(literally) and I have witness one of the fight myself.

    I never knew he tougher than holyfield but then that does sum up what a fag the whole family is

    A fat middleweight did ko holyfield in the ring in 2003

  • Sure, you know the Holifield family; I believe you.

  • Lol what a hater. DId Holyfield steal your girlfriend?

  • haha to tha clown that says big show would beat holyfield, your a dickhead man big show is too slow holyfield would snap big show man

  • these guys are ass wholes, if theres no rules, the geezers asked what will happen in a ring and in the ring theres rules, if theres no rules just shoot the other guy

  • why are the spelled different?

  • Plus if Evander hit you....HE'D BREAK YOUR FACE!

  • I bet your fat....am i right?

    Can you imagine then Michael Gerrard Tyson in the late eighties punching the big show (genetic freak,not a fighter) anywhere?

    The big show would cry his little eyes out,boxers take sustained punishment to the head (most vulnerable area),i guarantee you that if the big show hit george foreman in the head with gloves,george would take it better than big show would...hes a fucking wrestler!!!

  • I know alot of street fighter who told me that fighter like holyfield and ray mercer wouldn't last more than 30sec in a street fight with them

  • Really....why dont they train to become world champions then instead of filthy backward scum boys?

    Put any size gloves on any street fighter and put him in a ring with Evander Holyfield (just punching) and the street fighter will be crying after 30 seconds....SERIOUSLY!

  • well thos street fighters u know are just saying bulshit to get their rep up cuz they know theyd get kod with 1punch

  • Prof. Holifield is the REAL DEAL! He's the former Chief Combatives Instructor to the U.S Army. I hear he's a nice guy, but a real bad ass in combat! Glad he's on our side!!! Check out his videos!!!

  • If there are no rules then it's not boxing. These guys are talking shit. They should just become world champions and earn multi million dollar purses

  • I think that Patriciapoole missed the point of this video, but then again most youtube commenters do.

  • Hmm... Leonard Holifield?? I've never heard of him. Anyone know what stlye of Martial Art he practices? I'm going to have to look him up now, hehe.

  • He's the Grandmaster of Sikaron Karate.
