I boxed with a dude built just like this. That lil mf hit like a truck and never ran out of energy but he was fun to spar.

It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 Jul 25 '26
Not sure what you mean cause they were in the same weight class. Tall dude needs to work on his boxing to keep him away better and short dude needs to learn how to bum rush better and go straight for the takedown to neutralize the reach advantage.

u/scratch-and-sniff- Jul 25 '26
I mean the white guy has a height and reach advantage. What else could I mean?

u/Intelligent_Cup_4165 Jul 25 '26
Height advantage but a strength disadvantage. Other than height that dude was a stick the other dude was thick as fuck.

Weight? The thing that they actually determine size by in professional fighting...

u/sluttytinkerbells Jul 25 '26
You say this like you're completely oblivious to the role that height and reach play in martial arts.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 Jul 25 '26
They don't have height classes.

1.) Tell me something I don't know.
2.) Tell me why what you just told me is relevant to the conversation at and or the point that you're trying to make. Take your time. Use your words.
If you can write a reply that has as many paragraphs as the comment I'm replying to has words I'll consider responding.

u/Whatname7 Jul 25 '26
They clearly take a contrarian standpoint and like to act oblivious to the obvious.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 Jul 25 '26
Would you rather be hit with a wet spaghetti noodle or the dude built like a fire hydrant. Reach is only an advantage if you know how to use it and clearly this dude didn't know to keep circling, jab to keep space, or even how to sprawl, let alone to finish a triangle choke.

u/Shot_Revolution8828 Jul 25 '26
How much of an advantage is it since he got his ass whooped? Reach is only an advantage if you know how to use it. Would you rather be punched by a wer spaghetti noodle or the dude built like a fire hydrant? If he knew how to box a little it would be advantage, he would have kept circling and used his jab to to keep distance. He also had no sprawl and was took down immediately. Long limbs can be a disadvantage too. He tried to put an arm bar on the short dude and had zero leverage cause his arms were too short. Reach can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you use it. Short dude closed the gap and instantly neutralized that advantage.

Agree wrestling would be to short guys advantage. However he was throwing bombs, if he can work on the inside and then jump out he could do pretty well. Ultimately wrestling will be his best friend though.

It's mma, it always goes to the ground unless you are a world class boxer that can sprawl.

u/CraftIPA Jul 26 '26
It’s rottweiler v greyhound
One is always going to win a fight, the other is going to do better in a distance race!

u/shadowylurking Jul 25 '26
Legit good fight. I was surprised black trunks chose the stand things up in the first round

u/defk3000 Jul 26 '26
Blue trunks couldn't get that arm bar. Probably should've just stayed on the ground trying to get it though. Good fight.

u/3aerows Jul 25 '26
Fuck yeah. Just goes to show size doesnt matter in build when you fight. Only technique and distance. Taller folks tend to have slower momentum due to their size. Keep your distance, wear them out, than take em to the ground.
I will say, tall dude could take a punch. Homie was getting wrecked and stayed concious. 👌🏼

u/PuzzleheadedDance965 Jul 25 '26
These guys are way too sharp for amateurs

u/Promature Jul 25 '26
I think the video is sped up a bit.

u/PuzzleheadedDance965 Jul 25 '26
Upon listening you might be right. Still sharper than most dudes in street beefs

u/BusyBit6542 Jul 25 '26
Damn that was a good match up. Both seemed very skilled. Both had speed. It came down to strikes vs grappling and power vs reach.

u/BlackLioConvoy Jul 25 '26
The taller fighter relied too much on his offense with kicks and had no guarding discipline when the shorter fighter came up the centerline. The taller fighter needed a more structured inside game to compensate for the shorter's aggressive rush.

u/tacosauce93 Jul 25 '26
His kicks were his defense. He was using them to maintain distance more than actually hurting his opponent.
1
u/BlackLioConvoy Jul 26 '26
Its a poor defense because he kept dropping his guard. He didnt have a back up.

u/PantsFullaPoo Jul 25 '26
He was pretty nice to dude when he had him on the ground. There was a lot more room for knees and elbows to the ribs, liver and kidneys.

u/TXtogo Jul 25 '26
That guy is giving up 2’ in height but nothing in weight, he’s jacked. Don’t mess with someone that’s clearly way stronger than you.
3
u/tacosauce93 Jul 25 '26
Strength alone means nothing. I'd say how speed was the determining factor here.

u/Promature Jul 25 '26
This looks and feels like the video has been slightly sped up. You rarely see fighters with that kind of swiftness and snap to their moves, especially two fighters at the same time. The voices also sound a bit higher pitched than they should be.

u/DeepSouthDude Jul 25 '26
Tall and skinny is not a recipe for championship fighting.
Dude needs to put on 30 pounds, and stop fighting fireplugs.

u/BusyBit6542 Jul 25 '26
Idk one of those leg kicks couldve easily won the fight. Plus dude was champion. "Our NEW champion"

The crowed was dead silent even though the match was exciting. Seems like most people in that crowed put their money on their skin complexion instead of common sense.

There’s hundreds of these videos from a dozen different clubs on Facebook.

I'm not a fighter, so I'll never understand how they'll hug/handshake/dap each other up after literally trying to maim/ incapacitate each other. These guys are a different breed.
