Wouldn't it be funny if GSP instinctively threw a kick at Roach while he's holding pads?

@cypresscoach Exactly. Which is why you see things like spinning back fists in MMA while a boxer would be foolish to leave themselves open like that since you are so much closer to your opponent.

@HipHopIsUnderground That's right, the separation is a key factor. I coach boxing, and some MMA fighters have asked me to work on their hands. It's hard to find traditional boxing styles that work very well. I have more issues with the wrestling aspect, than the thai strikes, because I've worked with lots of muay thai guys. I find most of the inside work, bobbing and weaving, etc. don't have much place in MMA. It's more of a long range battle, much like a street fight, between good fighters.

GSP is a Kyokushin Karate black belt, Jiu Jitsu black belt, and was invited to the Olympic wrestling squad of Canada. Boxing is just the next thing he's tackling. If he continues to work with Freddie his boxing will improve by leaps and bounds over the next couple years.
BTW, for you morons who don't know MMA, traditional boxing technique does NOT work in MMA for a variety of reasons, most obvious being the inclusion of muy thai and karate strikes creating larger separation of 8-12+ inches

gsp is a true martial artist, and now a mixed martial artist, strictly traditional boxing will get you in a shit load of truoble in an mma fight, when knees/ clinching legs kicks are involved..

this guy is an excellent fighter. not the best boxer by any means, but that's why he's learning from one of the best trainers in Freddie Roach. Don't be ignorant kids, this guy is for real.
for the people saying his boxing is terrible, and that he needs to work more on it why the fuck do you think he's training with freddie roach? for his health. I cant stand keyboard warriors
