The difference we see, when the competition rules change! Props to Frank Galarza for transitioning into Muay Thai! Who wants to see more boxers come to MMA instead of just MMA fighters going into boxing? Comment below! Like in the recent news... Jon Jones vs Tyson Fury would be a crazy match up!!!
Feels like it's come around full circle since the early ufc days. Boxers should venture our way (again) and attempt mma. Excellent video Jeff as always. You've nspired me to focus on martial arts again bro! Thank you for your videos and journey. Rooting for you on usdc too
Props sir for sparring the bigger opposition while in his element of boxing 🥊
I see more ppl joking Bareknuckle fighting for some reason currently...personal choice at the end of the day ... the more the merrier for all lol There is no right answer really -like a game of chess - Out Think Out PLAY Out LAST!
🙂💯
His jab is mean!
Frank woke up next day and found himself not being able to walk. Nice to see him asking for advice! Keep it up.
I woke up and couldn't bite for 2 weeks I swear haha
lolz. Fr
Chopping him
First time taking leg kicks. Yeah he would have a hard time even taking a shit.
The boxer is so respectful to understand that jeff is going light and his legs aren't fully prepared for kickboxing.
And doesn't get ungry trying to land big shots to hurt Jeff
very nice person!!!
Ah, yes, that's the good stuff
I gotta say this is one of your most entertaining sparring videos, specifically the boxing rounds. The chess match, the head movement, the counters, the stiff jabs, the slips, absolute beauty to watch the sweet science of boxing
very fun to do for sure, especially with his flow!!!
This video is great but I must say I preferred the one he did where he rolled against bjj black belts. I loved that video.
Yep, i agree with you. Always nice to see such respect and high level sparring. Frank's leg movements were amazing
Agreed! The limited rule set is just like a chess match. It’s 70% mental. 30% physical. The greats have such an extremely high fight IQ.
Give him 1 year of just basic kickboxing and he will be fire. Boxing round is on flow he is so smooth and very controlled, doesn't use his size you can tell when it comes to boxing he is very legit. Amazing vid Jeff❤
thanks for watching!
Possibly, but his boxing habits leaves him open to front kicking attacks: teeps, knees, lead leg head kicks, flying knees, elbows.
@@sharkparty1027 Good job ignoring all the qualifiers in the original comment Captain Obvious.
@@Roderik95 he just repeated the same shit OP said 😂
@@mason9807 He just had to say something lol.
Incredible how much the kicks took away from his head movement game. He was probably having a hard time processing all the new angles and heights at which to defend, but when you went to straight boxing, man, he has some moves. It's not often we see Jeff step in like that to try and smother someone's head movement, normally it's the other way around!
Ossss
Yes, Im from México and do Muay Thai, everybody tell me about "Boxing more" cus you know, México=Boxing but i always have to explain why I can't do the boxing things Thai, even the steps make u a tarjet to sweep, and not everybody understands that. Dude I can get a knee on my face if I do what r u tell me. Now, I have a Kickboxing fight last week, and there I could do so much more head movement.
Nah, the problem was not processing all new angles at all, me thinks. In the boxing round, he rarely looks at Jeff after he starts his head motions and his movements are often wider than they should be. The reason is, he developed a few.. automatic motion sequences which are probably quite effective in minimizing the damage, he knows when to start each. But when it comes to legs, it is difficult to develop such automation. So now it requires a lot more.. conscious defense than he is used to.
But... those are just my speculations.
you likey the head movements huh? 😉😏
In a real fight he juist got kneed.
your boxing was still very impressive being that you're up against a pro boxer mate, you didn't look silly just outclassed which is completely fair. your distance and head movement is slick.
thank you!
3:54 The way Frank pivots in the "phone booth" while completely evading is epic. You can visualize the foot in the tire drill. Wow, he is good. That much mass moving like a feather in the wind --- but can still impart jaw-pulverizing hooks in an instant. Thanks for this.
cheers!
There is something about boxing which makes it seem so elegant, so fluid, easy on the eye, but fast devastating at the same time.
cheers!
Not really, hell just get a knee to the face on a real fight.
@@kratos2758doesn't mean it doesn't look visually pleasing.
@@kratos2758which is why boxing is more fun, you get to do fun and fluid stuff you can’t do when allowing more strikes, because of knee
@@kratos2758 You don't know boxing. Think of how hittable you'd be attempting to knee a guy positioned to punch. Stick to kickboxing - lots of bums there.
I practice Muay Thai, but I have to admit, there’s something gorgeous about pure boxing. Great rounds!
I went from 4 years of boxing to muay thai recently and i will stay for some time because i respect and like the discipline.
Lemme tell u, I've been involved with kickboxing and mma for almost a decade now and every single time I spar boxers in boxing rounds they make me look like a newbie😂
Dope video as always Jeff
Hahaha thanks man!
I'm super impressed when boxers & people who studied Muay Tai spar or fight, they show each other the most respect there is no backing down from either opponent and not only such powerful hits but the ability to take a hit as well, major props to both
Really enjoyed how both guys held back in their respective specialties to allow the other to grow and practice. No egos just exposing week points and practicing to get better. Great stuff.
Frank is such a gentleman, my man doesnt throw bombs cause his ego got touched by a smaller man than him in body size during the muaythai sparr ...A man like him is what you call a smart,respectable fighter,boxer and most importantly human.props!
Cheers!
The Thai fighter went easy on him as well so, there's no point from him to hit hard
@@keras11this is tech sparring. If it was all out power can change the outcome of any fighter
Man you're always looking for new sparring partners, from all disciplines, and that's what makes your style so unique. A true mixed martial artist. This one has very impressive footwork, and was looking for advice as well, amazing.
thank you!!!
I’d love to see a part 2! Sparring was dope and great technique from both fighters!
Thank you!
your striking game is 99.1% pure
cheers!
I think the British scene has grown by leaps and bounds. They have a rich boxing heritage and their style combines the two very well, imo. Learning the modifaction of head movement, many boxers, especially young ones in their early 20's can possibly make it to the international scene and make people understand that kickboxers CAN box. JMHO. Nice video Jeff.
Thanks man!!
Keep going Jeff, all those people that say you instigate hard sparring have obviously no idea what they are talking about. I have learned so much from your vids, thanks!
Thanks man :))
Those head movements coming from both of you were so slick.. woooooo that lit a fire on me 🤣 just came home from training, but after watching this video I wanna go back and train again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Osss
To me this is wholesome a grown man wanting to learn even tho hes a pro boxer bringing himself back down to earth and beginning a new journey. Great to see.
osss
Frank's head movement in that second round was insane. Jeff has fast hands and good technique, but Frank made slipping the punches look easy.
oss!
love your videos, you inspire me so much at being active. your uploads are always a reminder for me to get over bad mood/lazyness and get in the gym. thank you bro
im glad to hear that man, have a good session today :)
There's a lot of respect in this sparring I see. The boxer wants to learn Muay Thai and I see Jeff is going very easy on him and explaining the techniques, but when it went to boxing, Frank got some insane head movements and took Jeff to school lol. I myself been doing boxing, kickboxing for years and this video l enjoy watching. It's good to watch a respectable spar. 👏👏👏👏👏
oss :)
yeah baby show me those head movements
Jeff, guys like Frank are truly a great find in a gym 👍....it answers the question, 'what can I do in muay thai when someone has a certain weapon that's clearly superior?' 'Can I neutralize it or employ the appropriate defense?' Especially for a boxer, I try to utilize different hand positions ( shell, long, peek a boo etc) to confuse or find something more effective. Awesome job as always 👏 👏👏
Thanks for watching !
That was awesome Jeff , you did great , was awesome to watch
Frank Galarza
Record: 20-3-2 (Win-Loss-Draw) and he is 37 i believe
and from the fights i've seen from him he is pretty good
and seems like a genuine good guy
Very cool dude!!
Great work on taking him in and giving him information on how to defend Muay Thai sparring..
Really great video, Jeff! In addition to the great technical sparring, it's really impressive to see the control and communication here!
thank you!!!
This was awesome to watch. Frank switching from muay thai stance/awareness to pure boxing, while Jeff kept his mma boxing the whole time; very instructive.
oss!
SO BEAUTIFUL !! I really love this kind of boxy style, head movements, footwork, everything. Video saved as favorite to watch it again later!!
oss
Awesome!
It is great that you are building relationships with other practitioners and sharing these excellent sparing sessions.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching !!
Thanks so much for recommending that I get into Muay Thai a couple of years ago after I asked what martial art I should train. I've been in love with it ever since!
Osss
Not only was a pro boxer but also he is a big guy, so even with the self control that pro fighters has, I imagine everything he threw had a lot of weight hehe, great video as always Jeff, always happy to see you 💚
As a boxer who also does Muay Thai on occasion: boxers do just hit harder in general. The stance can afford to be a bit more grounded and you work in throwing just punches so they tend to have a bit more structure behind them. Having started at kickboxing, gone to boxing, then sparred kick-boxers again I found myself being totally unbothered by the punches. Leg kicks in the other hand… not so much
Thanks man :)))
Glad to see this, and that you are talking instead of just punching, and it's a good spar and a good test for both of you.
Enjoyed watching 👍💪👊
:)
Honestly I can’t even begin to explain what a GREAT video this is in all aspects. Great job to both of these men for the control and technicality they had.
thanks for watching!
Chef's kiss sparring, pure and simple, after all, that's what it is, a time to learn.
Respect, he has the courage to step out of what he knows and try a new combat sport. Good to see real fighters talk and change it up. It did look like frank was pulling his punches a lot during the boxing round.
Nice bout, good sportsmanship and a lot of talent on display. Much respect!
I'm waiting for Gabriel Varga sparring; high guard vs head movement style. Here we did not see much of a solid guard from the boxer.
hes gone whoop my ass lmao
@@MMAShreddedI got faith in you Jeff!!!!
KISS HEEM ON THE MYAWTH!!!
But what i see he's trying to develop the head movement himself now. Due too small gloves bouts I guess. He'll try to surprise you with that, you'll see 😛
@@MMAShredded too humble as usual jeff 🤣
Jeff you are a man of the people! One of my favorite follows. Good shit fam ✊🏾
thanks man!!!
As always entertaining and informative. Love the boxing rounds.
thanks for watching!
His footwork is so good, I wish I could do the same!!
oss
The head movement from both of you during the boxing rounds is so awesome to study!
osss
Learned a lot about distance management watching both of you.
oss!
So awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I have been waiting for this video since you teased it. His boxing is so slick. I'm gonna check if I can find some of his fights on YT since you gave his full name. Great video.
thanks for watching hehe
Best fight vids. Truly
Very cool stuff Jeff. The way you spar is much healthier than the people at my old gym. Those guys were going hard all day everyday without even signing up for fights
thanks!!
Thanks for sharing Jeff 👍
That kick catch to body shot to hook at around 02:15 was slick! Also, great footage of fun technical sparring
oss
Great sparring sessions, you two are crazy fast most especially in the boxing round
Thanks !!
That was a fantastic session. Lessons from each partner
cheers!
Love seeing the sweet science, it has it’s obvious vulnerabilities as a pure combat sport but it’s has such beautiful movement I can’t help but love seeing that boxing flow. Love
This is so cool 👌🏼
Amazing to see how the two styles cross. Even though Muay Thai consists of boxing it doesn’t train the same reflexes and precision as boxing alone. Of course as soon as kicks are involved it’s game over for the boxer but he’s still very dangerous.
cheers!
I tried Muay Thai for the first time the other day after Boxing 10 years, I feel the boxers frustration with them kicks 💀 he definitely felt them the next day haha Great channel man 👊
Green shirt guys head movement is fantastic, so fluid. Beautiful to see this
it is beautiful!
Great stuff lads. A pleasure to watch. 👌
thank you!
Poetry in motion. Thanks for sharing this.
:)
Always nice to see flow state so serene but better when you feel it. 😆 ❤🥋🥊
:)
Wow man, You were very nice to Frank... no throws or sweeps. It's cool to watch you mirror Frank's head movement! Cool video!
:)
Good reminders on the core. Well-trained, Team. Keep pushin'. (Well recovered on bouncing back from taking hits)
Oss
great rythm from both. So nice to watch.
oss
Another awesome video. Thank you for the upload.
Thanks man!
Dude got some hands bro! Great session 👏🏼👏🏼

What a smooth moves you got i like to watch your videos you are so technical i train jiujitsu and kick boxing and you are motivation for me !!! Keep going bro , best regards from Poland Europe !!!
thanks man!!
The boxing round he was predicting you so well that jab cross counter he pulled of on you was smooth
Cheers!
start the day watching a video from the best channel
thanks man!!!!
This was awesome to watch!
thx!!
Amazing collaboration with the world of 🥊🥊. Love it
:)
@@MMAShredded I recently discovered you're page. Love it, very motivating and I will be using these videos to train both myself and my son with. Really appreciate these videos man!!!
Amazing sparring 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥊🥊
thanks!!
That was a pleasure to watch. Great sparring.
thanks!!
Jeff, you make really cool videos. Thank you.
Thanks man :)
Really enjoyed watching this one.
:) thx!
The thing with a legit boxer is they can break your rhythym with a quick jab or check hook or anything. They know when you're even thinking about thinking about what to throw and lean in just enough to ruin your offence.
I boxed for a few years but started coming up against guys who had been doing the sport longer than i had even had chest hairs and it was extremely frustrating.
they punch HARD!
absolutely perfect ,,, big school for me,,, thx Jeff
oss
This was good to watch ans both guys are good at their disciplines 🥋👏🏾🙏🏾
oss
Damn he is super smooth during the boxing sparring! Big respect to him for trying out Muay Thai!
cheers!
Being that good at boxing is a blessing.
oss
Jeff is a tough guy..that boxer was huge✊🏾
The thing is most MMA guys overlook and underestimate us boxers with our slick movements and perfect hand striking.
This is a dope vid. I miss my boxing gym! Work & school have taken over my life!! 😅
thank you!!
awesome vid as always
thank you!!
Nice to see you slow it down and take it easy on the guy after a bit. You've been at this long enough to where you should be teaching!
Oss
Great video and Breakdown brotha, appreciate it. I can't wait to see you spar Gabriel Varga😁🤙
I can’t wait too!
Enjoyed the video brother... He will understand his limits and what he need to up game❤
thank you!!
Man the shoulders of Frank are crazy. Such a high amount of protection and he uses them really well!
Boi got humbled with that boxing 🥊 skills
The head movement on both of you are pretty good. It's all about dodging the punches and countering.
oss
Real quality work 👍
thanks!!
That was very entertaining, great video!
Thank you!
Was great sparring of both of you
thanks!
Respect to both fighters. And fighting arts 😊
:)
I trained Thia boxing and boxing . I couldn’t pick favourite both Great fighting arts 😁
True Sportsmanship
That backwards elbow at the end!! Ha, YES!
Haha
Great rounds, and your biggest win was the de-escalation conversation. Much better than trading hard shots for an hour.
thanks!!
Very technical sparring. Wish I could fight that level to spar like this. Congrats.
cheers!
Dude this was great! Pls show more of communication stuff even if it's just from you - all it takes is 1. most times the escalation is just emotions from op or genuinely not knowing the hit is harder cause of weight difference.
thanks man! :)
This is awesome sparring.
When are you fighting next? Waiting for the next ONE pro fight.
U are ready for a bout, jeff.
beautiful sparring
Awesome session
thanks man!
