I’ve heard people say, “Imagine how hard Mike Tyson or George Foreman would hit with MMA gloves!”. Actually, Tyson and Foreman would have LESS power with MMA gloves, because boxing gloves have a larger surface area, allowing for more damage.
Second time watching this today. Never have I’ve been felt so depressed and existentially threatened about the whole and entire purpose of this crazy “sport”.

Dude I watched this last year and it had a profound impact on me. It felt surreal.
Am rewatching it when I get the time.
I guess the timing of it also had something to do with why I felt so sad and melancholic watching it.

I really wish they’d also measure those boxers’ punching power that you’ve mentioned.
Ngannou’s measured punch of 129,161 units, it is equal to getting hit by a 96 hp car going as fast as it can, example, a Ford Escort.
Also, George Foreman is said to have the strongest punch ever measured in boxing seconded by Mike Tyson but George himself said that Mike’s power scared him.
So Prochazka has submitted Teixeira in the last 30 seconds of Round 5.
Also, I’ve just seen another potential FOTY material here guys, Weili vs Joanna brought that same violence as when they fought last 2020. She also looked jacked during the weigh ins.
30 seconds left Teixeira woulda probably won that UD or SD but the rear naked choke was purely out of precise timing and position. Thought it was gonna be a boring fight tho.
I had also seen what kind of an animal Jiri Prochazka was during his previous 3 fights including that KO of Reyes. Young lad had so much potential up his sleeves to become a champ and now here he is. He deserves it.
So they will get Tommy Fury (Tyson Fury’s young half-brother) and Jake Paul to fight again on August 6th but Chael Sonnen doesn’t think that Fury will actually show up.
Gents, Shavkat Rakhmonov is now officially under my radar. Dude has 100% finish rate yet so far and I can’t wait for him to get really tested by the real guys from the WW division. Make him move up the Top 10s then fight Gilbert Burns.
