All boxers understand the difference that’s why you don’t hear any pro boxers taking jake Paul seriously. They know what he’s doing to these mma fighters isn’t special
Somewhat although he was saying Dustin was throwin too many head strikes but that’s what you’ve gotta do when you are Dustin against Gaethje. Going to the body of Gaethje wouldn’t have made him “easy to knockout” like Vidal said. I think that’s just him not knowing the fighters though.
@@staynielherbayn657 Mate his advise is solid dustin is the better striker fundimentaly thats why he won but he would've had an easier time throwing to the body, if youve trained before youd know when your stunned your head is your biggest worry a couple of body hooks would've done even more damage
@@nuda2393 I know for most fighters that’s the case yeah but I just think when it’s against Gaethje it’s a different story. He has ridiculous body strength / resistance and personally I think a barrage of head strikes is the way to go against him.
Generally people who watch boxing also watch mma. A lot of us are just fans of combat sports in general. Theres toxic people in boxing and mma who hate on the other one but most people arent like that
@@leodavies9383 I don't believe it's inherently bad to debate the advantages one style has over the other. I think the problem arises when one side starts to bash or invalidate the other side to promote/hype theirs.
I think he should stick to boxing lol when he watched the Demian Maia fight he said “why is he backing up” he’s backing up cause this isn’t boxing lmao Vidal kept talking about askren, I don’t think he knows Ben askren is the victim of the fastest knockout in ufc history
"If someone is punching at you like that, why are you backing away like they're throwing bombs? Dismiss it, and knock them out. Why are backing up,? Why is this in round 2"? HILARIOUS and well said.
Viddal is right. Even Teddy Atlas told Dustin after the Chandler fight that at the end of R1 if DP had mixed in even one body shot he would have gotten him out of there.
@@jujuthethird4602 he just needs to not completely headhunt and mix it up but hey he's got the gas tank and the chin to go wild in the pocket and get these finishes time and time again
what people underestimate about dustin is his movement, the man circles you , watch when he fought mcgregor , he just circled him , tagged him up with leg kicks. then finished him on the inside. but all the work was done from the outside, leg kicks
Viddal is legitimately a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world. I want to see people set up the big fights and let's see him prove himself. Viddal is talented as hell.
"It's as close to boxing technique as you're going to see with the dangers he has in front of him" That's more respect and understanding than I've ever seen a boxer give MMA.
Boxer 100% agree whole alot of fighters could get much closer to boxing technique and it would help understandably there is a degree you can't go to and that is the closest you realistically can do
I think Chuck Liddell gets overlooked a lot for how he really changed the game, he was one of the first strikers to make some tweaks to his style that accommodated for clinch and takedowns. Not the first, not the only, but he really made it work for him in a way that was new and brought MMA striking to a new level.
Yes, definitely not the 1st nor only one. Bas Ruten’s low stance and to a lesser extent Kevin Randleman & late 90s Overeem developed striking that was potent due to TD threat and a varied attack.
Didnt accommodate for thr modern clinch seeings Rich KO'd him in clinch range. After being entirely Dominater by the true pioneer of the clinch. Anderson Silva. We got robbed with not footage of silva vs griffin
Gotta give credit to original cross trainer Maurice Smith for realizing he couldn't compete with just his striking so he started learning the ground game, not enough to be a beast off his back or a smashing machine but enough to survive and naturalize his opponent should the fight hit the ground
Of course he points out MMA fighters' tendency to head hunt, and ignore the body. That has been an issue with MMA striking forever. Also the smile when Holloway comes on, he knows. Great video.
He was making a good point, but they only showed a tiny bit of the poirier-Gaethje fight. That whole fight, poirier was attacking the body and he did finish him in that sequence that was shown. But I agree, most guys just head hunt
He's spot on. Body shots are so underrated in the UFC. Stipes bodyshot adjustment vs cormier basically won him the title back. Colby does alot of body shots, think it works well with his fatiguing style. Great for overwhelming and exhausting, especially considering he doesn't have KO power.
That's one thing JBJ hasn't to have deal with a lot - is bodyshots.And the times he did,he either nearly lost or lost and the judges still gave it to him..Santos,Gustafsson,and Reyes are 3 fights I'm not sure JBJ won,and he took many body shots in those fights.
I think you should have him watch more Dustin fights, they're is alot to look at there from a boxing perspective, he uses a lot of shifting combos, the modified Philly shell, ect.
@@nickgrant2625 Nope. Alex has his wrestling which neutralized Max's striking, you dimwit. Volkanovski won the 2nd fight because of Wrestling - Max was cautious about that which opened up Max's striking defense. That and Volkanovski won the first fight off of Leg Kicks. 🤔 So how does that make him a better *Boxer* than Max?
@@jayluis189 wut. Volk ain't a wrestler he's a complete stand-up fighter and he's not much of a kickboxer because he's too short to kick people to the body/head. He's a boxer and a better one than Holloway
@@nickgrant2625 Volk’s initial martial arts base is literally Greco & his striking offense is explicitly kickboxing - his most frequently utilized combos either begin or end off with a lead calf kick or low kick. Jay Luis is correct.
I would love to see O'malley do a boxing match. His technique's, combos, output ability, able to throw moving backwards, plan this feet to transfer force velocity into his strikes. O'malley has surprisingly impactful punches and his ability to flow and feint, switch stances, changing rhythm, strike thru around guards. Level changing etc etc. I know some don't agree but O'malley to me is a legitimate skilled striker!
@@riku4957 Well, anyone who talks shit is bound to draw some negative attention. You'd have to be a 'GSP' in order to avoid that and even then he probably had his share of 'haters'. Oh, that and he looks like a bit of a crack/pothead being that skinny for his height & overall aesthetic he puts out.
Sean got long extension on him also, so the guy can lick off some catapult punches on these smaller guys. But wrestling wise , he gets destroyed. But in striking , he is a master in that department
Finally someone said Nick Diaz’s boxing can be sloppy af. Same with Nick. They throw wide looping punches and tend to just overwhelm opponents with volume and cardio.
4:21 He's right, that was a good, strong leg kick. Props to the boxer for recognizing the effectiveness of a leg kick like that. I feel like most boxers wouldn't understand just how effective those are.
Exactly I had my doubts about it until I did kickboxing I think that more boxers should do pure kickboxing/MMA sparring at least afew times and vice versa for MMA guys and kickboxers in boxing it would end all the disrespect between both sides and we'd all understand each other better
One thing i'd point out to viddal is headhunting is more viable with a hurt opponent because the small gloves cant be used as shields like boxing gloves, otherwise enjoyed the video a lot
Not to mention, the little gloves make it easier to sneak shots past the guard or force your way through. In boxing, you have to really set stuff up if you want to land anything at all, against a higher level opponent.

Both anderson silva and tyron were good competition. Anderson won alot of rounds ans hit jkae with big shots. Anderson silva at 47 is the highest skilled guy jake can beat if we are being real. Vidal vs jake would not be competitive.

Finally a man who understands no single punch will technically look like a boxers. Fundamentally not possible if you dont wanna get your ass beat Edit: Ahhh hes a fellow fan of the sport. Nice to see
Refreshing to see a boxer that is at all educated in MMA. He can see past his sport and understand that MMA has more options for attack and more options to beware of.
I would have loved to see him break down charles oliveira's left hook on chandler because man that's one of the most technical left hooks I've ever seen also an israel adesanya breakdown would be neat as well
@LeonWillBeatUsman bruh I said it was one of the most technical left hooks I've seen I didn't say it was the best left hook ever thrown you acting like I could charles oliveira, canelo and of course I'm talking in the context of MMA and not other sports get a grip bro
this man giving credit to the referees nowadays; stopping fights earlier, shows how he understands the role of a ref in fight. Refs are nit there to stop fights early, they are there to prevent unnecessary damages. kudos to this kid.
Nick Diaz DOES have pretty poor fundamentals, it's just that he knows it himself and makes it work by forcing a context where it does. He does those long whippy hooks but also combines them with shots down the middle to manipulate an opponent's guard. The more half assed punches also work because of the small gloves that can add a lot of pain to the body shots, so he's fine with sacrificing leverage just to reach around an elbow to hammer at the ribs. He also sacrifices torque to throw same-side combos really quickly, making the punches weak, but they do the job of filling the space while he loads up the same side for a harder blow, or attacks from the other side. It is not incorrect to say his boxing is not very good, but the way he takes those tools and carves out all those iconic wins is what truly makes him great. It is a disservice to simply describe him as a really good boxer, because his overall game is much more sophisticated than that, in its own ugly but effective way.
@@vertigo10yearsago25 who knows if he ever had the potential? The way Nick Diaz is, I'm not sure if any other style could have translated his own preferences and insecurities into anything effective. Also, the main obstacle to his style was his lack of wrestling defense, and his inability to cut off the cage against someone with good ring craft. His boxing attack in terms of punch form and shot selection was fine for what it tried to do, his deficiencies elsewhere were the real problem.
Don’t really care about boxing, but this guy seems super cool. If Jake Paul wants to prove himself he should fight this guy, similar record, both young, same weight class. But he’s not a 40+ retired mma guy so I doubt it.
One thing to note a boxers defence is much different then mma as they only need to be concerned with the hands, but mma you need to be concerned with knees , legs , take downs and subs
The differences in striking between boxing and mma is so fascinating. Even boxing in mma is so vastly different to boxing in mma, like obviously it's more complex in boxing because the sport is centred around pugilism. But the defensive requirements for mma pugilism is an interesting avenue to explore for boxers
Admittedly I don't follow boxing, so I'd never heard of this guy. But I'm instantly a big big fan and will try to catch his next fight. Love his insight and his love for martial arts!
5:05 max holloway does not have long limbs. at least, not long arms. 69 inches is quite short especially for his height of 71 inches. Its a negative ape index. i am 72 inches tall and have 76 inch reach for instance. connor, is 69 inches tall and has 74.
I’ve noticed all these Uk fighters over the years have such a great mentality. They do not change. Such humble, genuine respectful people who appreciate art and poetry.
I really would’ve wanted to see him react to the Kattar Burgos KO because that timing on the uppercut with Shane’s knees buckling is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
MMA fans generally have a little brother context. The truth is that most boxers and/or boxing fans don't hardly care about MMA, whereas 8/10 MMA fans cannot go 1 day without saying how a boxer would not survive in a grappling exchange (as if that was something very new and clever to say). MMA fans also tend to hate the fact that the way their sport is presented, promoted, and even the setup of the business owes a lot to pro wrestling. To say nothing of all the fans who crossed over to give it the financial life it now has.
@LeonWillBeatUsman well, when you're around the key nodes of both sports itself, you'll notice that as well. Some of it is gone already, but it's noticeable if you look at older media.
im more afriad of leg kicks and body shots wayyy more than hand strikes lol, ever been winded by a kick to the belly then someone blasts your calve straight after you just wanna take a breather lol
Well done. Ifl there are obvious similarities but at the end of the day MMA and boxing are diff sports. I think this is the first time I saw a boxer acknowledge that in his breakdowns. He points out about knees and kicks and elbows and td's and says things like, "This is as close as you can get to boxing technique while still considering the other weapons you have to worry about." Spot on. I like his chill, open personality too. Gr8 stuff

Even boxing in mma is so vastly different to boxing in mma, like obviously it's more complex in boxing because the sport is centred around pugilism. But the defensive requirements for mma pugilism is an interesting avenue to explore for boxers
“I’m telling you, that body stuff is not nice”. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
This guy looks chill as hell. Would love to hang out with him for a few and hear about his come up.
I wonder why none of the Paul brothers have called out this guy? 🤔
Admittedly I don't follow boxing, so I'd never heard of this guy. But I'm instantly a big big fan and will try to catch his next fight. Love his insight and his love for martial arts!
he's highly skilled, proper technician, I think he will go far, true student of combat, and a nice guy as well from ll the YT content I have seen
Yo!!! Comprehensive Breakdown, 👊🏾🦁🦁🇳🇬🇺🇸
And now I know of Viddal Riley thanks to you! Great stuff lads.
5:05 max holloway does not have long limbs. at least, not long arms. 69 inches is quite short especially for his height of 71 inches. Its a negative ape index. i am 72 inches tall and have 76 inch reach for instance. connor, is 69 inches tall and has 74.
I’ve noticed all these Uk fighters over the years have such a great mentality. They do not change. Such humble, genuine respectful people who appreciate art and poetry.
gtfoh they are shit stirrers, or did you think joshua throwing usyk's belts out the pram was humble
Meanwhile, KSI: I AM THE NIGHTMARE MATE HAHAHAHA
@@remyhavoc4463 KSI ain't no fighter bruh
This was awesome!
Who put these clips together? This would be great if the person who picked the clips chose better clips. 🤷🏾♂️
Yamasaki shoutouts are always welcome. The most dangerous person to ever step in the cage.
correction - at 5:37 he didn't ''miss one'' he actually meant to knock his opponents rear hand away to open up space for the KO shot. Sneaky, sneaky.
Great reaction video. This guy has a bright future as a commentator or a coach.
No "I'm the best boxer in the ufc"?
No fiziev or yan?
CRIMINAL.
His great at analyzing!
Thank you, annoys me when people say Diaz' are good at boxing
😂
I really would’ve wanted to see him react to the Kattar Burgos KO because that timing on the uppercut with Shane’s knees buckling is one of the best things I’ve ever seen.
Wow, Riley even referenced the video games. Good on him. Idk why I always expect Boxers to throw shade at MMA.
MMA fans generally have a little brother context. The truth is that most boxers and/or boxing fans don't hardly care about MMA, whereas 8/10 MMA fans cannot go 1 day without saying how a boxer would not survive in a grappling exchange (as if that was something very new and clever to say).
MMA fans also tend to hate the fact that the way their sport is presented, promoted, and even the setup of the business owes a lot to pro wrestling. To say nothing of all the fans who crossed over to give it the financial life it now has.
@LeonWillBeatUsman well, when you're around the key nodes of both sports itself, you'll notice that as well. Some of it is gone already, but it's noticeable if you look at older media.
Great breakdown by a great boxer
you cant afford a bigger screen for them to watch it on ? or at least a tripod so he dont gotta crane his neck
He’s trying to be so nice to these clips. He wants to roast them so bad.
This guy said nate is better than nick at boxing
good video
He was very complimentary to the mma guys he seems like a cool guy most boxers just say these guy suck lol I like this guy
pro boxer need huge pillows to protect their hands
This dude fight iq insane
He was backing away, because he’s scared of the takedown. Askren uses strikes to open up wrestling shots.
This dude looks like a cross between Kamaru Usman and Leon Edwards
Should’ve shown Dustin’s defense in round 2. Crispy boxing.
im more afriad of leg kicks and body shots wayyy more than hand strikes lol, ever been winded by a kick to the belly then someone blasts your calve straight after you just wanna take a breather lol
Well done. Ifl there are obvious similarities but at the end of the day MMA and boxing are diff sports. I think this is the first time I saw a boxer acknowledge that in his breakdowns. He points out about knees and kicks and elbows and td's and says things like, "This is as close as you can get to boxing technique while still considering the other weapons you have to worry about." Spot on. I like his chill, open personality too. Gr8 stuff
You are not as covered up with mma gloves as with boxing ones
You think he doesn’t know that? It’s that many of Dustin‘s shots either got deflected or blocked
Viddal would be destroyed by an MMA fighter weighing 50 pounds less than him
Facts
MMA gloves don't block head shots very well. They're much smaller and many shots get through that wouldn't with regular boxing glove on.
