Lord of The Curry Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 name one time where a lightweight fighter ever knocked out a fighter that weighed more than 50lbs using an strike based offense? in boxing or mma. Mirko "Crocop" Filipovic 6'2" 213 lbs. vs. Bob "The Beast" Sapp 6'3" 350 lbs. Mirko's not a lightweight but thats almost 150 pound difference. Anyone remember the result of that fight? *sound of glass shattering* That would be Sapp's jaw.
shlidgn90 Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 bob sapp is no fighter. he is an sideshow attraction.
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 alright, we proved our point, you've got jack shit to back up your argument...so, we win
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 24, 2003 Report Posted August 24, 2003 ever see low-ki in person? he weighs 150lbs tops. you cannot tell me that some guy who's spike dudley's size is knocking out guys with 50-100lbs on him with karate kicks? Sorry, I HAVE to jump all over this schmuck. BRUCE LEE The "Little Dragon" would waste ANYBODY he ever fought. Why? Speed, strength, incredible amount of muscle packed into his small frame, and intelligence. Hmmm... You know, there's a reason his catchphrase (well, attempted catchphrase) is "it's not the size of the fighter that matters, but the size of the fight he will bring." It's not just some kayfabed saying to get him over. It's also 100% true. Want a real life example? Okay. My friend Kyle and my friend Wes were fighting, just for the hell of it. Wes is about 6'5", 270, and Kyle is about 5'5", 120 (if that). Kyle whooped Wes's ass. Speed and knowledge of how to fight. The smarter fighter will always prevail. And I know every previous poster has stated Bruce Lee, but it needs to said again.
Guest The Last Free Voice Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 Just to add my .02 I really like Low-Ki. I think he is incredibley fun to watch, and his in ring work is getting better. Watch his AJ Styles match from two weeks ago on TNA and some of his early TNA stuff, i saw a big difference.
Corey_Lazarus Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 ^ **agrees entirely** I'll admit he needs to work on his selling a little better, but you know what? He's still really, really good. Stiff? Incredibly. Fun to watch? Yes.
Jingus Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 As for smaller men knocking out a big man with kicks to the head, hell, watch the very first match of the very first UFC pay-per-view. I forget the French kickboxer's name, but he put down fatass sumo wrestler Telia Tuli with two crushing kicks to the head, despite weighing less than half of what his opponent did.
Brush with Greatness Posted August 25, 2003 Report Posted August 25, 2003 I would also like to mention Marco Ruas (6'1" 210 lbs) totally working over Paul Varelans (6'8" 300 lbs) with kicks to capture the UFC 7 tourney.
SpikeFayeJettEdBebop Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 I think Low Ki is stiff yes, but capable of entertaning....ABSOLUTLY.Also, we may just see about Tysons jaw holding up...he has OFFICIALLY fucking signed with K-1. I hope he faces someone small ,and gets his ass kicked...and proves some of you wrong...because the ones MAKING sense out of the whole things have facts...the ones who believe bigger isn't always better.....Wait the fuck a minute.......Please, the rest of you, no innuendos, stay on topic...**Crosses fingers...knowing that he may have just started an inuenndo-laden FESt!!!!**Anyway,I can't wait to see Poor ass Tyson get his tatoo fucked up head kicked inside out.....or vise-versa.....MAYBE...
SpikeFayeJettEdBebop Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 Heres Tyson, signing the contract with K-1.....With his F'ed up tatoos and ALL!!!! IMPRESSIVE...he can sign a paper with his hand over it...AND LOOK THE OTHER WAY!!!!! He's such a kick-ass side show its awesome!
cynicalprofit Posted August 26, 2003 Report Posted August 26, 2003 ever see low-ki in person? he weighs 150lbs tops. you cannot tell me that some guy who's spike dudley's size is knocking out guys with 50-100lbs on him with karate kicks? think about it, this is the equivalent of saying oscar de la hoya (who's 154lbs and a hard puncher) can knock out mike tyson or evander holyfield (both weigh in between 225-200lbs). Um, pro wrestling isnt real and thats what makes it fun, the little guy CAN beat the big guy. I know WWE has tried to knock that mentality out of you, but isnt that type of feud always the best, I mean Hogan vs Andre carried the company for how many years? (even if both guys were big, size wise, Hogan was the underdog and they played it up)
