The Jake Paul fight would be great but Paul is far too smart to get into the ring with Anderson. Watch him call out Tito. Agreed. Anderson Silva is probably the only MMA fighter who has actually added to his legacy in a positive way coming out of this whole Triller/Jake Paul/Freak show thing. Think its just that hes come in quite unassuming, he's respecful to boxing and he's brought elements of his style into the sport that actually makes it fun to watch, fair fucks to him. When Anderson announced he was going into boxing i think everyone rolled their eyes but its worked out well. As for Tito, well it couldnt have gone any worse.

Aren't head guards even worse though? I know they're effective for preventing cuts etc, but with a head guard all your doing is allowing someone like Holyfield to take even more shots to the head. We don't need head guards, we need 60 year old former fighters not getting licensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Head guards were considered to increase the risk of blows to the head because the padding around the eyes limited the boxer's vision.

David Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Could see that coming a mile away. There's only so much mileage in seeing older boxers face each other. Mike Tyson was the exception, because he's Mike Tyson. But we knew other companies would dive in to try to make a quick buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 17, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2021 Id imagine Triller will be out of the boxing game post-Lopez/Kambosos. They are gonna lose their arse on that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
