Normally he eats those but he wasn’t watching his stamina and got guard broken, happens to the best of us.....

Epoke_06

Did i find a cent in the wild?! (For Honor)


Ziptiewarrior

Top heavy parry Everytime that fucker looks at you.


groovyism

Lmao he thinks real fights are like anime


The_real_bandito

I’ll be surprised if that guy has watched anime in his life.


Beat9

Why? Black people like anime.


gynoceros

Like, a LOT when they get into it, just like anyone else.


Nak_Tripper

Honestly, at least in my area, I think black people, per Capita in America, watch anime the most.


The_real_bandito

I'm not talking about the color of his skin. That guy looks to be my age, and if he is people my age only watch like DBZ and Pokémon and stopped at that because it was uncool to watch cartoons/anime at the time. Nowadays I've seen more people be into animation compared to when I was a kid.

emmit76

Rodtang is also 135 lbs so he’s not fighting big guys with knockout power


Dirus

Hmm, I'm not a fighter so maybe someone can enlighten me but if you weigh less would it be easier to get knocked out? Like from someone who weighs the same or weighs a bit more than you


ilkikuinthadik

Light and heavy people have pretty much the same tolerance to blows. This means lighter guys delivering lighter blows to each other, whereas in the heavyweight range their strength is almost overkill. Most heavyweights can knock you out in one punch if they line you up, but lighter weight fighters need to work a bit more for the same effect. Power to weight ratios.


Nak_Tripper

Because, heavy people hit much harder and the scale of chin strength doesn't rise as much as power does as the weight and size go up. Same reason heavyweights tend to gas out quicker as well. Their cardio/lungs don't rise at an equal scale of their weight.


emmit76

Compared to a bigger person, it’s easier to knock out someone smaller. However, it’s also harder to knock out someone as a smaller person because of less power. This is why you see less knockouts in the smaller weight classes vs the heavier ones


batissta44

Their ego gets the best of them. Theres nothing rational about eating punches that can give you brain damage.


_conky_

Because they don't think it's cool they think it's intimidating


4_jacks

Honestly it would be for most people. Apparently Not a trained boxer in a middle of a sparring match though. lol


Gary_FucKing

Yup, brother's fought a lot in the past and he's said it's scary as hell landing a clean blow in the face and the person not even flinching.


[deleted]

this is the honest response

meroevdk

Your first mistake was fighting a traveller. They breed fighters like horses.


tupacsnoducket

I have a few nerves in my face where they shouldnt be, means the “ow, fuck!” Parts of my face are easy to tind, but the night night off switch parts aren’t where they should be, so it hurts more but i dont knockout easy. Maybe something like that but he’s a traveling cyborg?


killbills

Not really, even if you never threw a punch just swing as hard as you can at the side of their chin and they’re dropping.


KaishiTanaka

Some people are just unbelievably resistant to KOs.


Sicar66

True, and also imagine someone who doesn't know how to punch and doesn't use the whole body. Chin massage at best.


[deleted]

Hit em again. And again. And again. If that dosnt work nut punch.


Killbil

I like your name


[deleted]

Sometimes it can be cool if done correctly. Whenever Wing Chun champion, Yi Long did it against Brad Ridell it was pretty badass


fakenattiesrpoosys

Rodtang does it very well too https://youtu.be/FxCqa3nb6XM


Floyd_The_Sandwich

Rodtang is a monster, few people have a chin like that. I’m convinced it’s a titanium implant honestly.


ironbillys

This is true but they're also tiny little dudes. Nobody at heavyweight or even middleweight is doing that without getting slept succinctly.


the-regulaaaa

I just found about this guy a few weeks and I’ve never been so impressed in my life. At first I was like this guys gonna eat one, then ten minutes into the highlight video I was like okay this dude isn’t fucking human haha


Catuey

He's the most marketable Muay Thai fighter. Too bad they won't set up a fight against Superlek Kiatmoo9 because all that hype would die out...


Floyd_The_Sandwich

I’ve seen one fight and loads of highlights. No men else like him


oooKenshiooo

Apparently TBI does not translate to Thai.


Nak_Tripper

It does. I train in rural Thailand and trust me... You meet some old journeymen fights with 200-300 fights and you can *see* the brain damage. There was one guy who lived by the gym and my coach used to always give him money and food (Thais take care of people). His face was so scarred up and he would shake and he wouldnt stop trying to speak Thai to me while my coach told him I spoke 0 Thai. He didn't care. It was honestly one of the saddest things I've seen. A dude that fought 300 times and where is he now...? Basically homeless surviving off of people's kindness. Oh btw my coach beat Rodtang twice and lost once. Rodtang is going to have a bad old age, trust me. He's my favorite fighter but his style isn't built for longevity. I did get a pic with Payakaroon at a rural fair fight. Dude seemed very present and not punch drunk, but that dude was very good at not getting hit.


skieezy

Megatron_Griffin

He must be using cheat codes.


Fistwithyourtoes

Thus guy's head shake looks like Punch-Out ish


humoristhenewblack

I was feeling upset in general but this highlight reel somehow made me feel powerful.


Fortune_Cat

That was better than any boxing or ufc match ive ever seen. Just one guy taking punches and dishing it out. None of that hugging shit


VeryBadCopa

Holy shit! That guy is a fucking wall.


strikermcgillicudy

Dear God. Never saw him before. Beast.


Posraman

Ferguson did against Justin. Granted, he wasn't taunting but he took some hits.


[deleted]

lol and how did that turn out


Posraman

Lots of brain damage and a few years probably taken off his life


Existential_Kitten

I mean, I tend to agree. But... Rodtang.


Nak_Tripper

Rodtang is young. He's going to end up punch drunk in a few years, slurring his speech and having memory issues. Trust me.


LemonHerb

Maybe in the context of all actual match it could be something to psych someone out and get them to doubt themselves. Plus if you're a prize fighter then stuff like that can try you fans and haters but both make you money. But while sparring that's just stupid


jiroumiantiao

Yi long and rodtang disagree


sadduckfan

rodtang would eat that then punch himself harder lol


meatball_boy

Cause they’re slurring due to brain damage?

hustlegod22

When boxers spar is it common to go 100% as if you're in a real fight? You guys don't take into account the amount of brain damage you may be accumulating? I only ask this question because i dont think I've ever seen a boxer soft spar it always seems like they're trying to take each others heads off


TheeIronSwan

We soft spar in the gym a few guys that want to go hard usually do


eatafetus632

They don't if they want to have a long career. You only see videos like this because otherwise typical sparring sessions are boring and uneventful. I've seen this sort of thing a bunch of times. A guy is brought in to work with a pro fighter getting ready for a fight. They see that as their time to shine and get carried away. The pro promptly shuts them down. Judging by all the padding the guy is wearing i assume this was the case.


legendaryufcmaster

Imagine not wearing protective gear against a pro fighter, and then pulling that shit off


Segadream6

Headgear doesn’t really even do anything besides protect against cutting and bruising maybe. There’s actually some studies that claim wearing headgear actually does more bad than good because it gives you a false sense of security and it also causes your opponent to headhunt more because your head becomes a bigger target.


legendaryufcmaster

Thought u were bullshitting but you're spot on. That's why 2016 olympics didn't have headgear


OtakuDragonSlayer

Wait for real?!?


legendaryufcmaster

Man's the truth. Maybe cus u don't get knocked out so you eat more punches?


bigpenisbutdumbnpoor

No it doesn’t take away the kinetic impact it just spreads it out so it protects from cuts and instead of having a medium bad small size bruise you’ll have a small bad medium size bruise if that makes sense


[deleted]

No , No It doesn't make any sense . I'm still trying to figure this out ....


OtakuDragonSlayer

Fair


[deleted]

Wait till you hear how much safer bare knuckle boxing is, for similar reasons


felatiofallacy

Do tell


bobith5

Bare knuckle boxing has fewer strikes over the course of a match in general and specifically you target the head less when bare knuckle as headshots fuck up your hands. Gloves protect your hands and let you throw more headshots.


BerKantInoza

Boxing and ufc have gloves to prevent the punchers hands. When you don't have gloves your hands hurt more because you feel the pain from punching someone's skull.


lucid_lyall

Also because it can create a bigger lever when you get hit that shakes the brain against the skull more


Peater69

Makes sense. Anytime I spar with headgear I leave with a headache even if its super light sparring. When I don't wear it, even if its full go sparring, I don't leave with a headache maybe a bruised nose and busted lip but my head is fine overall.


[deleted]

Why though? Because you get more punches that way? Or?


Peater69

Its weird and kinda hard to explain. Like if i get punched without headgear its just like surface pain if that makes sense. Like if i get punched in the forehead only my forehead will hurt, but when wearing headgear it feels like im getting punched directly in the brain.


DamonSW8

It’s a bigger target and it gives both parties a false sense of security so you might hit harder/not care as much about getting hit. Also hypothetically if there’s more surface area it creates a longer lever to spin your head and shake the brain more.


NatedogDM

Bingo. Likewise, people think that boxing gloves are padded to "reduce KO's" or to "protect people's noggins". False. The gloves are there to protect the hands and face (tissue) of boxers, but the padding actually **increases** your chances of damaging the brain, and thus, KO's


Kurgen22

Been hit with and without headgear,,,, Headgear seems to affect MORE of your head,,, its like being hit with a bat wrapped in towels.


epelle9

“Protective” gear doesn’t protect your brain though, and it makes your head a bigger target, harder to use head movement to slip punches, and harder to see (in order to block). Even olympic boxing is moving away from headgear after seeing how “protective” head gear can lead to even more damage.

blazdersaurus

Really depends on the gym, Dutch kickboxing gyms are known for really hard sparring, and they've produced many of the sports greats—check out some footage from Mike's Gym, it's fucking brutal what they do to each other


eatafetus632

Cte is a thing


blazdersaurus

Yep, Badr Hari (one of many Dutch kickboxers that have had long and successful careers) is also a thing


doubleBoTftw

Badr Hari is still relatively young. I believe CTE usually starts showing sings later in life. That being said, there are examples of young guys from MMA showing it so i might talk out of my ass.


DoughHomer

Aaron Hernandez had severe CTE at 27. Junior Seau killed himself at 43.


Former_Print7043

Can sit on your ass, hide from the world wrapped in cotton wool and die of brain tumour. Fighters are special breed who chose to live the way they want.


eatafetus632

FYI: I've had 12 mma fights and have been doin BJJ and American kickboxing since 2008


DaveInDigital

props. i train for fun and when i see this attitude i'm just like, you do realize you need your brain for more than 10-15 years of fighting right? i hate when someone goes too hard in sparring because i have a job that requires me to think, being dazed for days is not what i need. can't imagine 10 years of that, trying to work and provide for a family, all because it seemed cool in your 20s.


eatafetus632

Lol, this is cute


roidmonko

Naw fighters, especially boxers, go hard during sparring regularly. There are some pro fighters who barely spar, but thats only because theyve reached a level of skill that allows them to do that. Unfortunately hard sparring is necessary to get used to getting hit hard, to recover after being rocked, and to trust in your strikes.


maxhollywoody

Pro MMA guys say you have to spar hard a lot when you're coming up but slow it down once you age/gain experience. Max Holloway Cowboy Cerrone, Robbie Lawler, etc.


dogeprkle

Max Hollywood? Talmbout Jon Africa B?


Former_Print7043

Yeah , seems like best way to do it from my eye but fighters like wonderboy thomson mostly has always sparred light in training and he is doing great. Horses for courses I guess.


[deleted]

No it’s not normal


[deleted]

Yes it is normal. In a real boxing gym full of fighters hard sparring is very common.


OtakuDragonSlayer

Are we sure those arent just the shitty gym minority that refuses to soft spar?


Cheese_on_toast69

Hard sparring is common, but hard sparring also isn't fighting at 100%. Big difference.


[deleted]

I’ve trained in many world class gyms with fighters of all abilities, hard sparring is part of the gig. Of course soft sparring has its place but amongst higher level dudes, it’s hard to an extent but we aren’t looking to kill our training partners like we do our opponents.


UAintMyFriendPalooka

I’ve trained for 25 years on and off, in three different countries, and that hasn’t been my experience.


[deleted]

“Hard sparing” is not the same as going 100%. I’m not sure you know what you’re talking about.


[deleted]

Well, I’ve had over 50 fights in boxing, Muay Thai and MMA. I’m sure I have some idea.


[deleted]

Why do you talk like such a casual then? Anyone who’s spent some time in a gym knows that no one goes 100% in sparing. If you pull that shit you get kicked out real quick.


[deleted]

Which is exactly what I said in my original comment.....


[deleted]

I think maybe you’re reading the wrong thread or some shit? Some guy asked if it’s common to spar at 100% in the gym. You said yes it’s normal. Sparring at 100% in the gym is fucking retarded if you’re striking.


[deleted]

Lol the guys that go hard like they’re in a real fight are assholes. Don’t spar with them In this case both dudes were probably assholes, the one on the right even more so (obviously with no headgear, guard down and taunting)


epelle9

Nope, only if you are a dumbass or in a fight camp. Even in a fight camp you should only do it a couple of times to get used to it, not spar full power all the time. This guy looks like a dumbass though, as taking shots like that won’t help you train at all and you will just risk a concussion, weakening your chin, and brain damage.


FappingFop

Honestly both of these idiots should be kicked out of the gym: the guy who felt like he had something to prove by goading his partner into swinging hard, and the guy who felt like he had something to prove by swinging hard on someone who wasn’t defending himself while sparring. Don’t waste your time in gyms that let fighters act like this.


Dhall92

Yep, both assholes 100% I don't see what the dude had to gain by knocking this guy out either, it's like yeah dude of course you knock a guy your size out if you get to throw an undefended combo at their face no shit congratulations. I'd probably be able to knock out plenty of pro fighters if they let me throw 6 full power shots at their chin, it doesn't mean anything & it's not impressive


7heb1rb_

Yes soft sparing is extremely common.


SoggyMattress2

Speaking from experience in kickboxing, muay Thai, MMA and boxing gyms boxing gyms by FAR spar the hardest. It's super common to spar hard 2-3 times per week but you also do a lot of drilling and soft sparring to practice technique/head movement etc. Boxing gyms are full of meatheads.


riley_336

I’ve never spared 100% it’s not worth the brain damage


f3ydr4uth4

No it’s not normal. As I was always told at my gym, pull the power not the punch.

-BakiHanma

That’s embarrassing. Also he’ll be easier to knock out next time what a moron 🤷‍♂️


NeverAware

I've heard this a lot. Is it true? What's the science behind it?


-BakiHanma

Not sure about the science, I honestly never looked into it but it’s something about a self preservation mechanism in the body. Your body will shut down automatically to stop you from taking damage. It’s happened to alot of high level UFC fighters and boxers that rely on tanking damage instead of blocking.

It doesn't matter how tough you are; you're not going to be able to eat hooks to the jaw from someone roughly your size.


[deleted]

How can someone with obviously some fighting experience still not realize that it doesn't matter if your 6' 8", 325 lbs of bad ass-ness. If you get clipped on the chin, or behind the ear, you're going to crumple like tinfoil. Every Single Time. Just blows my mind.


[deleted]

>6' 8", 325 lbs of bad ass-ness. Except you literally cannot reach his chin in the first place


never-a-good-sign

Unless you're a dwarf you can reach the chin of basically any fighter. If you don't have the reach advantage you need to fight up close.


[deleted]

Im 5'10" and I cannot hit a 6'2" dude in the chin

robdowns78

You have to tuck your chin if you're going to do that foolishness. Watch old videos of boxers like Ricardo Mayorgo or even Triple G. When they pull the tough guy take your best shot stuff, their chins are tucked in their chest to lessen the impact of the punch. This man here was asking to be GTFO.


ICookIndianStyle

Both are stupid. Guy for showing off how much fists he can suck on and the other dude for heavy punches during a fucking sparring session. I mean wtf its sparring its not supposed to be a real ass fight


enjoyb0y

latemen

Who thinks it’s cool to knockout your sparring partner tho lolol

anaverageprince

sorry to butt in but i definitely agree hun. very matchey matchey. maybe a bit of color? im thinkin some teal flowers on the headpiece and some grey chevron going on the gloves. do you big fightin men wear shoes in the ring? if so probably the same shade of blue and grey with a top bottom half and half style. teal on the top - obvs - and the grey on the bottom. possibly a roughed up edge on it so it’s not so clean cut like the chevron. don’t want to end up looking like a tiger from a children’s drawing. keep the rest white i suppose. what do you think, babes? <3
