I lost my pro boxing debut against Chris Avila. Those are difficult words to write, but an even more difficult thing to actually experience. It was my first fight since defeting iDubbbz in the first Creator Clash last May, and this time it was an official pro fight. My hat goes off to Chris and his team for the preparation and performance during our bout, and I've had to do a lot of internal soul searching to identify where I fell short. That search has yielded some takeaways for me though, and I'm not ready to throw in the towel on my boxing career just yet. I wanted to share the entire boxing experience from traveling to Arizona at the Gila River Arena thanks to an invite from Jake Paul and Most Valuable Promotions. Getting to see Jake take on Anderson Silva was cool, as well as Uriah Hall vs. Leveon Bell, Ashton Sylve vs. Braulia Rodriguez, and everyone else who had the privilege of competing. I also want to thank Showtime for allowing me to open the fight live on pay per view, what a dream come true. Let me know down below if there's someone else you'd like to see me take on!

Doctor Mike is so respectful! As a boxer most imagine tough guys who act rude and have big egos, but Mike completely breaks that stereotype and is super cool! Fist bumps, no trash talk, admits to loss and doesn't look for excuses. Truly an honorable doctor and boxer.
I mean that attitude plays a big part in why he lost. Mike is a passive guy. He needs to be a killer.
you obviously did not hear about his last boxing match...not quite so respectful
@@ragevsraid7703 what did he do
@@ragevsraid7703 yeah what'd he do
@@nvv2452 he went all out on some little youtuber who was not a boxer and was only doing it for promo. Yet mike treated him like he was a boxing champion and beat the living snot out of the poor guy.
Insecurity is loud. Self confidence is silent. They acted like fools while you stayed respectful. Mad props!
name checks out. take the L, cope and seethe
He so took a L loll
Not really, like I get what you mean but it’s a fight there are no limits, they were trying to psych Dr. Mike out and it worked as he said he didn’t feel nervous but he wasn’t excited either. I understand how what they did could seem wrong but when you become a pro fighter your payday will be cut if you lose
They got in his head. Its all part of the game.
@@MrKobedagreat24 had the balls to step into the ring with a pro.
Also had the strength to act with dignity. Easy to just give the middle finger and swear, anyone can do that.
As a fellow martial artist and boxer, the disrespect shown by Avila is absolutely sickening. His sportsmanship and conduct are unforgivable in any sport. Dr. Mike, just want to tell you you did great, you fought hard, you fought clean and you always showed respect and poise no matter what. Proud of you
He was just trying to show off for his daddy Nate, acting up like he does.
Martial arts is all about responsibility which Avila has none of
thats the way asshole mma guys fight, dr mike is a classy guy in a classy sport lol, if avila tries anyone in the top 50 he gets stopped within 1
boxing is as much a mental game as it is physical, and it looks like avila rattled dr mike hard
Its just mental warfare and it seems that it worked🤷♂️ Thats the m.o of the Diaz camp.
Dr. Mike, you’re a doctor and it’s what you dedicated your life to. You fought some guy with no respect who has done nothing but fight and he couldn’t knock you out. You box less than part time and you didn’t look like a deer in headlights against a professional fighter. I have faith that you’ll do much better against someone with the same amount and experience. You may have lost that little four round exhibition match but, brother, you’re a World Champion every where else. Stay being the positive, caring, respectful man that you are and I wish you well and continued success especially with your true profession of healing people. I know I’m almost three years late but I had to say this even if you don’t see it. You’re the man, doctor.
The fact that Dr. Mike walked out of that stadium with poise and sportsmanship deserves major props and to me is more important than him winning. He got out of his comfort zone and gave his best effort. If I were a doctor with all the knowledge of what could happen to me I would be terrified to get in the ring.
He is educated and professional. Its expected.
I respect Dr. Mike even if he lost a mere fight.
@@666Rhyme is expected but is not an obligation either
You walked into that fight... You walked out of that fight. He couldn't finish you, and therefore, you are a true warrior. You are truly one of the good guys.
Well said lol

@@B1g_B0sssss chill
@@RoRo-wq1wo i am CHILLING while looking at him.
he seems so bummed about it :( hope you dont quit bro you got this next time. love that you kept it classy and sportsmanlike
I believe he had said before that this would be his only fight.
I hope he does. I find it ridiculous that a doctor preaching good health habits, he’s willing to get pummeled for entertainment/sport. Or whatever reason.
@@Benu-ReflosLol you lame ass
@@Benu-Reflos No. He said he loves boxing with a passion. He's boxing out of will, not for fame.
Had the balls to get in the ring, gave respect while he was getting none himself, and stood and fought the entire fight without going down. Gotta respect that.
Hate how people can't separate sportsmanship from a competitive mentality, you don't have to be a dick to show us that you are confident on your skills. Mad respect to you Doc
ur just ignorant which is why you say this. its not about you. avila doesnt care if u think hes skilled. Hes trying to show mike that hes skilled and also intimidate him. its a mind game. also its tv. half of boxing is the build up to the actual fight. thats why the weigh ins are done with the boxers talking to eachother and posing next to eachother and shaking hands.
Imagine being a nameless boxer and still acting like you a superstar lmao
But the thing is, he effectively intimidated Dr Mike and got into his head. There's a mental game here that isn't part of Dr Mike's repetoir. But I thought Dr Mike did excellently. You don't always win but you put up a good and entertaining fight!
The Diaz camp is like that. They are from Stockton and they are known for being jerks, trash talking, getting into your head, etc. Think heel in wrestling. It's partially to physic out opponents, but It's mostly just their brand and how they promote fights. They are the "tough street kids".
@@oliccnever underestimate your enemy. You are already breaking cardinal rule #1 so it’s no surprise this strategy works on people who look down upon others who use psychological warfare.
The way you kept your cool even when Avila disrespected u, cursed at u, threw stuff at u, really says a lot about your mindset and the kindness that u got bro. Very honourable person
Wtffff that’s so mean.. I mean dr mike is a dr too why would u cuss him out 😭
fr@@Bunny11344
That's a quality of a good doctor too.
They have to be patient(no pun intended)

bro the drama is on purpose, for the views
He may have lost the fight, but his sportsmanship won our hearts
He’s not what you think he is.
no it didn't doctor mike is a hypocrite and has no place in boxing if he wants to be a doctor. participating in boxing goes against his oath. not sure how he is aloud to be a doctor still.
@@akaliotp6766 do you know him?can you explain just how hes not who we think he is?
Atleast he chose not to throw cheap-shots this time.
@@Koooo4 the first match he admitted it was a cheat shot but he didn’t do it in purpose he just did it
go check his other vid of him talking about it
Dude, I am shocked at the utter lack of respect and sportsmanship leading up to the fight. It made me feel sad. Good for you for sticking through it and keeping your head up high.
@@rileynguyen8880 I did not. Admittedly, I don’t know much about boxing.
@@rileynguyen8880 Sure seems like it. I took BJJ when I was a kid, it can never hurt to learn self defence. Boxing seems terrifying from what I’ve seen and heard.

You shouldn´t be shocked. I think Mike should´ve pushed him as well to not get avila´s confidence too high.
@@EmilianoLarrecochea I admittedly know little about the boxing world.
The fact that you even went the distance with an actual fighter says ALOT about your capability. Keep it up
Dr. Mike is cool, and I know you're just trying to be nice, but Chris Avila is a bum "pro" fighter and much smaller. It was a disappointing performance, but I believe he can still do well in the influencer boxing scene.
@@MAT-wn5fr A bum pro fighter will beat you
@@MAT-wn5fr you cant fight thats why youre in yt comments lol
Aw, the meat riders are mad just because I gave some criticism even though I also gave some praise.
@@MAT-wn5fr DIdn't you know? You can never criticize someone on youtube if you can't do something they do better than them.
The respect you gave to someone that deserves 0 respect is amazing
True,but I'm not surprised anymore cause when it comes to Physically sports this always happen,Gotta respect Dr Mike for that 🔥
Fr
It's something called mind games!! I guess you've never watched UFC??? Nothing to do with him being disrespectful
You have zero respect for warriors and ultra disciplined people who work and train super hard to accomplish their goals because some trash talk was said?
Idk y some ppl r getting hacked when he was clearly being rude. Who says I don’t watch UFC there’s a difference between mind games and utter disrespect.
You lost, you won, it doesn't really matter. You're still an amazing person. Hats off to Doctor Mike everybody!
@DONT READ MY PROFILE PICTURE bruh you say that literally in every comment
True
@@RoRo-wq1wo it's a bot bro
No he had a party during lockdown. he didn't follow his own advice
@@sufsanin1917 that doesn’t make him a bad person
I’m late to the show but I cried like you won. My tears were of pride in your accomplishment. You finished the fight on your feet and you displayed a strength and resilience that is beyond commendable. It’s aspiring and shows the children you fought for how to stand in difficult times. I’m very proud and you should be too! Thank you!
As a boxer myself, knowing and owning that you lost a fight says a lot about your character. It says that you’re a true, real fighter and know your own limits and know how good you are and how much better you can become. When I lost a fight after a win streak I was broken but I realized that in life you’re never gonna get a unlimited win streak and when you accept that like Dr Mike did, everything gets better because you know that inside you won the battle against yourself. Keep going Doc, proud of you 💕💕
“You know you won the battle against yourself.” An absolutely amazing quote!
I wanna see him on DAZN X SERIES
Very well said!
@@zahraalhussein1912 Deep line!
He won the fight but you won the journey, the experience and most importantly the respect of everyone watching this. Way to go Dr. Mike we are proud of you.
He also won the chest compressions
Avila's team were bullies trying to intimidate and you didn't allow it. Good for you, Mike. You rocked this
Yeah
Thats the fight game
Its for entertainment purposes, they’re all friends after the fight.
Its the reason Mc gregor was so big and scary, his trash talk was top notch and that attracts pay per view. Noone wants to see two respectful fighters, viewers want tension. Its all an act most of the time
@@thierpetersen7907 don’t think anything Avila coulda said would make this fight anymore watched
Well not to break the bubble but he allowed it. They got into his head and he lost his fire cause he believed that the guy would kill him
Dr. Mike is officially my favorite Dr.!!! So down to earth, knowledgeable, and fun.
Honestly mad respect to you doctor Mike. Despite being disresepcted and taunted you went out their and gave it a shot. You may of lost but you stayed true to your fans and still made a video about it. Don't worry! Keep Going! You'll get him next time!
Mike, You have ALL my respect. For what You went through during training, on the ring and of the ring.
I m impressed
❤
Mais nan, le major ici ! Incroyable !
he got TOK'd in the fourth by a pillow puncher from a smaller weight class
Yes
@@ihatekillerclowns yeah its wild that a trained professional fighter wins a fight against a doctor... who would have thought
The fact that you gave the money from the fight to charity makes you a winner in my book. ❤️
Hey Chris Avila gave too plenty of rights and lefts.
@@southcoastinventors6583 yeah, well, I mostly saw him give bad attitude and disrespect.
@@chazluvmusic I hear what you are saying but fighters only really respect skill at fighting and Mike admitted in the video that he was feeling fired up so he didn't go into it giving it all he could.
@@chazluvmusicNo one can act surprised knowing that Avila is part of Diaz’s entourage. Him and his brother, Nate Diaz, are notorious for being assholes in the UFC. That’s their thing
@@chazluvmusic is Chris Avila the guy Mike fought? I'm currently trying to get through an un-skippable ad🥴🥴
Chris Avila and his entire entourage seem like horrible people
Until you've been in the ring you have no idea what it's like to take those kinds of hard punches. You took all of them well and never stopped coming. You stayed poised and never quit. Mad respect doc
You may have lost the fight but you’re sportsmanship was there. You were totally respectful. You truly are a legend!💜
Dr. Mike, thank you for being so respectful. It’s disappointing seeing how immature most boxers can be, people like you are the ones who should be looked up to. Stay strong 💪🏻
Yes his so respectful
True he’s respectful but that don’t sell fights
@@jideosiyemi3091 fax
Listen, it’s apart of the game.. you build animosity and beef even when it’s not there to give you motivation and to hype yourself up. They were respectful and friendly after the fight.
Trash talk is part of the game, it’s not necessarily immature, it’s just part of the promotional outlook. The important thing is that the beef is settled in the ring and afterwards they can be cool with each other
No shame, he made the walk, he went in there and tried his best and fell short. That’s life. Now he has the correct information to make adjustments. It’s freaking amazing that an actual medical doctor could even find the time to train and take boxing seriously, and do well despite the outcome. That’s a victory in itself. Both things take extreme focus, time, and discipline. Plus the money went to charity, so nothing but respect to this man in every way.
He been training way longer tho
@@tusktooth4122 no he’s said he will hit pads for then and there
WHAT?? He got DESTROYED. There was ZERO victory for Mike. He got OWNED
Yeah I was there and everyone was booing mike I wanted mike to win and he could of but he didn’t use his reach and the overhand just kept coming
He can find the time because he doesn’t work as a doctor, he makes money through TH-cam and sponsorships. He doesn’t even need to work anymore
In the end, it doesn't matter... because the true end result was all of the funds that were raised for charity ! You have my respect DcMike, you're effort and resilience toward a good cause are commendable !
What a hell of a fight. Way to show grit, Preserverance and dedication. Hats off 👏🏾
Dr. Webb, you too are awesome! Respect.
Yes, same preservarance and dedication be shows in his party during the hight of pendamic
Seeing as how immature him and his team was acting before the fight, I wouldn't sweat losing so much, they way you push yourself is inspiring, praise to doctor Mike
They were doing that just to get into his head. It’s normal in boxing
@@Mster_J true but even that should have its limits like throw the water bottle at him driving by I think is uncalled for but everything else seems like normal boxing taunting.
@@Mster_Jyah I get that and don't think it's a bad tactic but still sucks when it's brought down on someone as respectful as mike, this is the sport of boxing tho
chris avila's career is a joke he needs to act like an idiot to sell fights.
@@Mster_J It's normal in some camps. Doesn't mean it isn't juvenile and unnecessary among professionals.
Dr Mike not only shared his losing experience, but he did it with so much respect and sportsmanship, it takes a truly kind and honest person to do that
doctors make terrible fighters lol. They have the desire to heal and help people they would never stand a chance against someone that's set out to cause and inflict pain on people
What an amazing, kindful, respectable person you were!! He didn't deserve it. Need more people like you.
Props to him, for getting out his comfort zone, and talk about his loss
I wish you guys can show me as much love as you show this Channel! I know I’m not as good as him but I still make entertaining videos and with your help 1 day we will get there together 🫶🏼🌟Thanks!!
*loss
everything is wrong in this sentence
Wow. Doing something which is exact opposite of your filed is never an easy task. But you did it doc. Proud of you for trying what you actually like and took the risk for yourself.
As someone that was a martial artist for years and now currently training in pro wrestling
Seeing the disrespect is absolutely disgusting
Even in martial arts tournaments if I lost or met my opponent before our match always stayed humble and respectful
Same, I've been a martial artist for 12 years and continuing. After sparring matches we would always at least give each other a handshake. That's why I'm not a fan of boxing because most people are incredibly cocky. I feel as though doctor mike was respectful but he also had his game face on, which there's no problem with that in my mind
Avila and Diaz are gutter rats
I'm not sure it's genuine disrespect of if it's mind games.
Completely agree. I'm a boxer and After sparring i always make sure to be nice to my sparring partner. I've also had 2 fights and Hughes both of my opponents after
It felt like the disrespect was more for the camera than for the doctor. A bit of kayfabe. I mean, he gave a fist bump at the beginning of the face to face, and they hugged it out for a moment once the match was over.
Dr. Mike, you won this. I know most people don’t think the way I do, but while each domain has its own scoring system, personal character is the scoring system of life… I have zero respect for whoever that other guy was, and I know he’s a great fighter. You showed a strength that there’s not a lot of in society now, and that’s genuine character and respect. Many people go their whole lives and never reach that fundamental level of maturity. So you have my personal congratulations sir. Well done.
Oh stop it. There were no actual hard feelings. They hugged after the fight and avilas team gave him props after. All fights are disrespectful before hand to get views.
Love how Dr. Mike didn’t respond to the shove or the literal legally defined assault backstage. Could have been petty and lashed out, but nope, kept that cool calm demeanor that you would expect from a doctor. This man has held peoples literal lives in his hands and it shows through his composure. SO SO MUCH respect doc.
I think even pro fight teams might refrain from getting into a brawl with NDA.
nothing to do with being doctor. He just cant do nothing about it. Box is a different world.
Don't give up unless this is really not something you want to continue doing. You did admirably in the ring honestly. You didn't get knocked out, you stayed on your feet and you blocked some of his best punches. You are new to this yet even some of the commentators praised you. On top of that you remained professional and respectful, unlike your opponent who comes across as rude and full of himself. Maybe you didn't win, but winning isn't everything. The experience that you had, the people you connected with on the way and the friendships you made. Those are priceless.
@@dr.christopherjohnson4178 ^^^ lol a Scam
@Josiah Soriano Not sure we watched the same match. Perhaps watching again might help you to better understand how boxing works? Maybe some tutorials might help too. You're welcome 😊
@@Lianoth stop riding ... he sucked
@@samarveersingh3904 Bahahaha looks like you need that tutorial too 😁
Watched it live and EVERYONE in my family said he should never fight again. Zero reason to risk your health when you can’t beat guys with a few pro fights.

What a MAN and what a DOCTOR !!!!! Love U Man 🥊
You change my prospective on a lor of things .

props to mike for uploading a video talking about his loss, a lot of other people would just shut down and not talk about it. dissociation bums and tends to come at the worst times, props to mike for owning up to it ❤️
It's so inspiring to see someone tackle something so out of their realm and putting themselves in a new world. Props to you for being respectful and not allowing Chris's actions make you lose your inner character.
True. But I feel like Dr. needs to be more mentally ruthless when he enters the ring. Of course a better rest would have also helped a lot.
you literally did so well. people don't realize how hard it is just to stay in the fight after a couple of good punches

@@Shockkings0714 thats not exactly true
@@ambrusfodor8047 as someone that has fought alot, looking at doctor mike, he seemed a bit too docile, he was holding back a lot. he wasn't aggressive enough, dunno what mental roadblock was bothering him, but he seemed to be holding back a lot. The other guy was a lot more aggressive so he won, he didn't have the best technique either but due to being aggressive he won that fight.
@@ambrusfodor8047 Yes it is. I constantly watch combat sports. I know almost everything fighting.
I started following you just recently so this is a pretty late reaction but, as a fighter myself, you are someone to look up to and you deserve a lot of respect. The discipline and courage you display is outstanding. Nothing but respect for you and stay true to yourself. You're doing a great job!
Taking a loss like this shows how powerful you really are. Most people would have tried to hide the fact that they lost instead. Hats off.
Dude, just getting in the ring with another professional fighter is a win, never mind you were still standing at the end of it. That alone is something most people will never understand or experience. You did great and should be proud of yourself.
Seeing Dr. Mike be so polite and dignified is awesome. Trash talk and trying to rattle one's opponents outside of the ring/court/feild is kinda like a tiny dog making a show if being tough. Big hugs Dr. Mike, better luck next time.

No matter what you can hold your head high. You help millions and millions of people around the world. You got into incredible shape and showed nothing but respect to a disrespectful opponent. I came across your videos a couple years ago when I started running into various health issues and I was immediately gravitated towards your entire personality and temperament. I’ve had around 10-12 doctors over the last 6-7 years with 5/6 of them being specialist and I WISH I had a doctor like you.
We appreciate all of Dr Mike's commitment and dedication as time passes. His transparency is commendable in many ways.
Begone bot
The difference in this fight was not technical, it was the difference of a lifetime of wanting to help vs. a lifetime of wanting to hurt people (not in a sense of one being better than the other)
Not to say anything specific and maybe it doesnt even correlate to this case but i think it often comes down to the intellect of the person etc. Some people dont have as much power in their head as in their hands. Of course, in this case it was Mikes first big fight and thats never easy but seeing other teams behaviour...idk. Maybe it is just a show and thats it but I feel like its not that easy for humane and kind people to put up such a show, they are just different people.
@@krisjanio309 mike still hasnt given up so he can improve
The fact that Dr. Mike was so respectful the entire time makes him a winner in my book. Our world needs great people like Dr. Mike who are kind and respectful even when others aren't that way.

A loss is a loss
A lot of guys in martial arts are like that. No idea why Avila was so dissy. I'm guessing it was just an act for the cameras. I wouldn't be surprised if the Doc here met him later and they got on swimmingly.
The more a fighter disrespects you (especially from the Diaz tribe) the more they want to get into your head because they want to win the psychological battle before you enter the ring, indirectly you represent a threat to them. In a way it's more flattering than having them smile and look at you with a backhanded pity, because those are fighters not martial artists. So big props to you for entering the ring with another capable fighter, battling it out under the eyes of thousands of people. That in itself puts you above 90% of most men out there. Only real warriors are ready to put it on the line under this amount of pressure and stay composed. You are way more than your looks and it's truly inspiring.
No matter what happens, we’ll always be proud of you Doctor Mike! There are always trials in life, and let this trial be what makes you try harder and harder, and don’t let it be the end of you!

@@RoseQueen_26 he's being real, the dude is from Stockton, the fake celeb Dr wouldn't have a clue about real life.
Kudos to you for not making excuses and recognizing what went wrong. Years ago when I was in highschool I was kickboxing, and at 17 I experienced what you went through here. Over trained, and I fasted for too long before fight night. One of my coach's friends was there before the fight, dude was a former marine and kind of a local legend in the fight scene. I told him what I was experiencing and how I'd never had this happen before. He offered a few pointers, and told me after the fight, he'd show me more if I wanted to. Guy I was fighting was VERY unorthodox. Not in his stance, but the way he threw his strikes, the angles and paths they took, made it really hard to react appropriately. Only reason I came out of that fight on top was bc I tossed my training out the window. This guy wanted a street fight, so I gave him one. I never abandoned the jab though, even if it's not working at first, one little chin tap will take their eyes off of their target and open them up. After the fight, that marine taught me that the way I was training at home was all wrong. Showed me the "mind over matter" trick for when I was doing cardio, when I started to get pain in my side and my legs felt like they were gonna buckle during a run, he kept pushing me over and over. Eventually, as he predicted, all the pain stopped. What started as a 2.5 mile run ended up being a 7 mile run. I applied that mindset and it paid off tenfold. Don't let your body decide against what your mind wants to accomplish
What's the mind over matter trick you use for running? It's so hard for me to get in anything over 1.5 miles!
@@chiema9510 In my experience, at that point I was in the best shape of my life. And a 2 mile run was still grueling for me. I wasn't gasping for air, I just had a pain in my side and my calves were throbbing. The marine I trained with told me it was my body's way of saying "I'm not used to this, I don't like this". As long as you're not hyperventilating and your heart rhythm is normal, keep pushing yourself. If you need to stop and regroup, jog in place and move an inch at a time, just don't stop completely. You might feel nauseous, you might start dry heaving, keep pushing. When I hit that threshold, all that pain went away. The marine was about 100 yards ahead of me, and I took off at a dash and got next to him, and we jogged for another 4 or 5 laps around this huge park.
@@tjk21504 Amazing, thanks for sharing! I will try this on my next jog and not stop. Haven't practiced jogging in place to regroup. I have a similar thing where I get a pain in my side after ~1 mile and my legs and arms feel like logs. I notice that when I stop, it's usually almost impossible to pick up and keep going.
@@chiema9510 just don't overdo it, focus on getting healthy cardio first, then push yourself a little bit more every time. It's safer to throw in the towel a few times before you over-do it and hurt yourself
This message is so long
Wow, you seem so grounded and humble yet confident when you could be arrogant and defensive. Thanks for sharing the behind the scenes of this fight.
Even though you lost we all love you Mike ❤ keep up your amazing work
Yah that's right
I wish you guys can show me as much love as you show this Channel! I know I’m not as good as him but I still make entertaining videos and with your help 1 day we will get there together 🫶🏼🌟Thanks!!
They tried to Rattle and break you mentally but you stuck through it. Nates camp is known to be over the top with trash talk and all that but I'm glad you stuck through it. Your personality is unbreakable man and I'm proud you did it!!
Doctors can't fight
Chris Avila is a legitimate boxer, and you went out there and put on an amazing performance as an outsider to the combat sports world. Be proud that you walked out there where mamy others would've folded.
Chris Avila is an mma fighter
@@noicemate9111 he's both.
"legitimate boxer" he was 1-1 going into this and his mma record is 8-9 and lets not ignore that he fights at 155.
@@leatheryfoot6354 no he’s not. He’s 1-1 and doesn’t have enough experience in the strict field of boxing. Are you saying he’s legit like he’s talented and tough? Yeah of course but if you mean professional and seasoned then no lol. Mike did great either way but I don’t think he should be getting punched in the face when he doesn’t have to. Just train boxing as a hobby and do occasional sparring sessions if you feel the need to fight someone
he's an MMA fighter. you must not follow boxing or mma?
I got chills at how respectful and gracious you were throughout the whole process. A true sport. Good on you for challenging yourself and putting up a good fight!
got TKO'd in the fourth by a pi;low puncher in a smaller weight class
@@ihatekillerclowns Perhaps you should learn how to use proper grammar rules before hate commenting.
this man is a doctor who is in great shape and does boxing. Most people can't even get in shape. This man is a legend for putting in the showings he did in both fights. If someone can't respect that then their just lost and there's no hope.
Doctor mike is so kind that he doesn't want to punch his opponent hard
I wonder if the Doctor’s oath is in the back of his head; first do no harm.
No Fr because he like tapped Chris in the ring then donates a big sum of his loss to a youth organization 😂
Probably contributed to why he lost
@@nevaehhamilton3493 ofc it did
I wanna see him go absolutely mad, just full power
Dude you’re an absolute machine. You’re a doctor full time and you talk on a professional mixed martial artist to the distance.
You inspire us to all be better. On top of all of that you donated your purse to charity. Just amazing.
That was very immature of what Nate Diaz did, respect to doctor mike for being so calm even at those moments
what do you really expect from a scumbag like him?
@@eriond3701 true
It was really funny see Avila try to be Nate so bad. From the gestures to his attitude.
I bet they are paid to do this, as it is for the TV. I honestly believe there is a guy behind the scenes that tell them to monkey out for the camera with a promise of some extra cash. There is a lot of money made on these,no way there would not be some theatrics going on to increase the viewership.
Getting flipped off by Nate was an honor tf yall talking about 😂
Love the video. Gathering the team, training hard, going through all the hardship of dehydration and fatigue, getting punched in the face, all for the purpose of challenging himself and gaining experience. No ego, just hard work and courage. It's a really great personal growth video. I believe every fighter at the beginning of their career should watch this!
Hello, I hope you're safe over there? I hope this year brings happiness, prosperity, and love 💛all over the world, I would love us to be good friends in honesty and in trust if you don't mind. I'm Doctor Christopher Johnson from San Francisco, California, where are you from if I may ask?
I hope this doesn’t discourage Dr. Mike from participating in the next Creator Clash. It was so awesome and hope he will be back again!
"mike tyson"
Just now seeing this Dr. Mike. Mad props to you sir. It takes guts to step into a boxing ring knowing the other guy wants to hurt you. No shame in a loss. Failure teaches us where we need to shore up weaknesses. People who have never boxed don't know the fatigue that throwing and absorbing punches causes. Sparring is way different than an actual fight. Sparring you aren't trying to hurt each other. You have protection gear. Anyone who runs their mouth I say this: Go buy some gloves. Take them to someone you know hates you. Tell them to hit you on the side off your head and then in your oblique muscles. You stand there in a boxers guarded pose. Then and only then can you run your mouth. Boxers are tough mentally and physically.
The fact that you even stepped in the ring with someone of this caliber deserves respect, but people don’t understand all the behind the scenes before a fight/match. The weight cut, the training, and the walk. Good job Dr. Mike.

Ok but the fact that my man Mike didnt get knocked out after taking all those hits to the chin and being fatigued seems like a win in my book. Keep up the hard work doc, this is just the beginning
of your epic fighting career.
What was that weird overhand punch Avila kept hitting him with... That would be hard to defend.
Respect 🫡 Not a lot of people are brave enough to become a boxer, especially not a doctor but you really tried your best and that’s all that matters. You are such a respectful soul that nothing can beat ❤

Or on the other hand being a doctor makes it an easier transition. As a doctor you have life and death in your hands. When you see what you see what you see in the medical field and all
Nothing to be ashamed of Doc. It was just a matter of his ring experience, you should be proud of yourself.
As a person who dose mma you respectfully did amazing. You took a chance fighting someone with more experience and you made all 4 rounds. You landed hits and took some powerful hits and still continued to fight instead of giving up. Hands down amazing fight and great job. Exited to see you go forward with this and huge fan of you

Kudos to you Dr. Mike as I’m sure you know it takes a lot of guts and fortitude to even step inside a ring

@@ihatekillerclownssounds like someone might be jealous…. And don’t say you’re not or else you wouldn’t have responded to like 20 comments trying to put Mike down. You’re weird asl my boy go get laid 😭😭
Dr Mike, unlike the other fighters, genuinely smiling while flexing @ 2:46 . He looks absolutely proud of himself on what he has achieved. Well done. even if he lost, the training, time and commitment he has done to be able to fight is commendable.
He fought for his mom and tried his best for her.What a hero!
You didn't lose. You went after your dreams and made them happen like a champ. Just knowing that you did something huge, scary and risk taking is a giant win in itself! You didn't act like an immature bully like some of these fighters and there teams do, you handled the "loss" with grace, you're learning from it and moving forward. That's a great athlete, human and physician right there. As someone who has a rare neurological condition that affects my cerebral arteries I don't think I'll ever be able to take jiu jitsu, muy thai or box like I've wanted to for years so I was living through you lol Hats off to you Dr.Mike
its not immature or bullying. its mind games.
Hey Doc, we absolutely have your back. You showed up and did your part better than anyone could've asked for. Failure is the greatest teacher, thanks for being there for us, so we are here for you. Much love!
Exactly we have your back since it is a good place to stand because you make such a great target for punches.
"It ain't about how hard you're hit, it's about how you can get hit and keep moving forward"... still made us proud man!
Wow! This was awesome! 🎉 a little late to this video, but proud of your tenacity and courage! ☀️💙
Your opponent is supposed to be a grown man but clearly wasn't acting like one. Can't stand the childish, petulant, petty attitudes that athletes / martial artists / boxers get. Respect to you for maintaining maturity and actually acting your age.
you have no idea how so many people are so impressed with you. you are such a good person and honestly all the people that support you cares. and will forever will
People jealous of him
Honestly I'm just as impressed with how he took his loss as I would have been if he won. He stayed polite, looked at what he could learn from the loss, and allowed himself to be imperfect. He took a risk and did his best, can't ask for more than that.
Nothing but respect to you sir! Many have never put their bodies in danger like that. And never will. Great toughness shown by you as well.
As someone who’s disassociated a lot in my life, either because of my anxiety or neurodivergence or both, I totally understand the struggle, and give you mad props for taking on the challenge like you did despite the loss!
It’s not about the destination but the journey as they say and you reminded me that I haven’t done something outside of my comfort zone like that in a long time and should probably try to again soon, truly inspiring!
yes, its always at the times where you feel like you have been waiting for and excited for
I was going to say something similar! This is how I live my daily life, being numb to things or not feeling the full effect of them. I feel bad that he had to deal with that right before the fight. It could have been his body’s way of shutting down when he experienced the rudeness and negativity, if he was trying to block it out.
Don’t discourage yourself, you were not an “easy fight” against him. You went all 4 rounds on your feet, an easy fight wouldn’t have lasted till the end. Props to you🙌
so much respect goes to you, you have now been a part of three EXTREMELY difficult industries with being a doctor, youtuber/influencer, and boxer. you need to know that so many people are so beyond proud of you and being such a great person is so much more than anyone could ask for. we love you doctor mike, keep doing what you're doing!! and honestly i was tearing up when i saw how bloody your face was and that made me feel so sad, some people that are so rude and display and affect others with rudeness is unfair but i guess life isn't fair. you'll definitely win next time! 💙💙
Love you Mike, your attitude and respect was commendable!
I’m proud of you Dr.Mike, like many have said, you showed great sportsmanship and respect (even though your opponent wasn’t the kindest). It’s difficult for many to accept losing, and it’s admirable to see you handling it so well. Also I completely understand training so much and then being fatigued for a competition, it can be very frustrating, but the next step is learning and growing from your experiences.
Honestly proud of Doctor Mike for not making excuses, his acceptance in his loss shows how strong he is mentally. Can't wait to see you come back and prescribe those hands even stronger, faster and better.
when you have no prior experience and you jump into the bull pen, you're gonna get knocked on your ass, but you shouldn't feel discouraged by it. you took a lot of heavy hits (gotta keep those gloves up doc, that dude barely feels the weight of his anymore) and stayed steady, and that's a TREMENDOUS achievement. keep at it
He barely feels the weight anymore huh
Dr mike you killed it absolutely you won our hearts you were so respectful and showed great sportsmanship mad respect to the best and most handsome doctor out there ❤️❤️💪💪💪
This is why I like Dr Mike. He's respectful, no trash talk, trying to be sportsmanlike during a fight. He's just trying to do the things he loves and reflects on his mistake in the ring.
Yeah the only trash he talks is in every one of his garbage TH-cam videos
Proud of you brutha! You put the work in and kept a level head... along with good sportsmanship! The first fight is always a difficult one when it comes to nerves and your own head... but you did it. Keep it up!!!
I didn’t even know this happened, but I’m honestly really impressed that you went face to face with a pro. The fact that you lasted all rounds without getting knocked out or down, kudos to you.
I wouldn’t be surprised if you made it big in the world of combat sports, just seeing that composure and technique, you’re going places. Can’t wait to see the next fight!
its only a mircale he didn't sad to see Mike showed zero head movement, except everytime he took a hit to the head.
Like watch the fight and pretend like Mike is wearing a full neck collar/cast. Like his neck just stopped moving.
And just like creator clash, he's unable to deal with a high stress combo, either he can't tale advantage of the opening he makes with a combo, or he just freezes up when he get hit, didn't initiate enough, or really any clinches. It was just poor boxing form, and he was outclassed in almost every aspect of boxing.
A lot of respect for taking on the challenge, I've trained in boxing since I was 16 so for around 6 years and I've had around 8 fights so far and it's not easy to enter the ring for a fight and so many people dodge their first fight so a lot of respect to you doc for stepping in again and taking that challenge. In saying that I hope you get back in the ring and keep going with boxing, I feel like you have a lot of potential and with better footwork and with more in ring experience you could end up being a good boxer, you have the height and the reach but just need to work on maybe improving on your footwork and getting in better fight shape. I feel like there were instances where if you just had better footwork and if you kept him at a distance and put in work on the outside instead of letting him close the distance that maybe it would've been a closer fight, he's definitely an inside pressure sort of boxer so you would've needed to keep that distance and used your jab and used combinations to keep him at a distance. He also kept overextending and dropping level every time he threw that overhand right so with better footwork, better boxing IQ and with a better tank you could've won that fight because I felt in that fight your opponent was very one dimensional with his gameplan.
It’s very clear to me that everything his team and he did before the fight was psychological warfare to get in you head.
Real and true
Exactly what I was thinking
Yea everyone here is acting like he was being a bully just to be a bully. They do it to get into your head and have doubts. Thats why after the fight they were cool.
@@DG-kr8pt shame that they cant let skills speak for themselves and have to resort to mental warfare too assure the win, clearly lacks confidence in himself if they have to act like that before a fight.
@@Xxnightwolf66xX no half-assing is what I imagine the professionals do. Also don't forget that even fighters are entertainers... Anything to excite the audience, even fake beef.
