Love topuria boxing style reminds me a lot of canelo the head movement the high guard how he pressures his opponents and those brutal body shots he throws in a interview topuria said he been watching canelo since he was a kid so he’s heavily influenced by that Mexican style boxing
Love watching topuria man, always funny how his name is matador but he rly the bull, high guard, light effective head movements, heavy pressure, always cutting off the cage and CRAZY punch power
He’s both. He’s the bull to most feathweights. He will walk down any high level technical out boxer and get their back to the cage every time. But against power punchers like Josh Emmett, he is the Matador. He’s the best of the best in every category 💯
A guy like Yair could give him problems on the feet with his style of striking, but we’ve seen him get dominated in the grappling by guys like Ortega, Volk and even guys like Max. I can’t imagine he’d do any better against Ilia
I think the reason he doesn't throw kicks much is becausr he likes to take as little risk as possible.. Same way he fights strikers on the ground and vice versa
Apparently fighters IQ is completely annihilated when fighting him. He's completely open for kicks, knees, elbows, Judo throws, wrestling takedowns... everyone seems to think they're supposed to box
Volkanovski kicked him constantly. Jay Herbert knocked him down with a head kick. Bryce Mitchell frontkicked him as well, and tried to take down him several times, succeding once. They all got KOed. Try something else, other fighters being dumb when fighting him isn't the case.
He is open for kicks. But Volk kicked him ALOT and he still marched forward. Considering he has been Greco Roman Wrestling since 4 years old its laughable you think he’s so vulnerable for Judo throws or takedowns. Knees and Elbows are possible but no one has been able to time him or find the opening for it yet. Volk hit him with a couple knees in the clinch before getting K.O.d like everyone else
Good fighter. The scary this is he is swag jacking Conor since the beginning. Even the tattoos, that makes me sick. No soul, no personality, a copycat. 🤮
didnt think the day would come when i would "defend" ilia but have to say he already fought on 2024, in february. He will fight again this year so if we go by history he will fight more than 1 a year. Well see though, you might be right, its not the most probable though.
Topuria ya ha dicho en entrevistas en español, que su estilo de Boxeo esta hecho en base al de Canelo. Topuria le dijo a su entrenador quiero Boxear como Canelo en MMA, por eso las similitudes.
In the pocket he lacks defense and is very open to kicks because of his boxing heavy stance, despite being a great grappler it hasn't translated well except just choking out a rocked bryce mitchel who was able to dodge his punches a few times
Max will probably implement a lot of kicks? I don’t think it’s a one sided fight, but topuria is a very good boxer and tbink he’d be silly to rely on boxing
Definitely, wouldn’t be surprised if you see him go for a few takedowns for some variety and he might struggle with the volume and speed of max also so it’s a very 50/50 fight
@@knockoutcinematics-1 I think ilia might be too stubborn and want to stand with max with no grappling, it might work but I don’t think he’ll win a striking match with max

I was just thinking about his boxing style looking like Canelo's. The liver shot is a staple of Mexican boxing.
Definitely mate, obviously not on canelo’s level but he’s emulating him definitely
@@knockoutcinematics-1 Yup. 👍
His style is more like Miguel Cotto, especially his combinations

I think that topuria is a grat champion and when he fights hes gonna made a great show and outclass most of the oponents he will face
Isn't he ducking max talking crazy to top contenders and even said he wouldn't give them a title shot either
@@emanueldarganIt's in the works.

Love ilia, my fav fighter right now

Topuria is so well rounded that it's unfair.

its not that simple
U say all this like u could do it
his background is in wrestling and jujitsu the only thing being his weakness is head kicks and even then he rarely gets hit buy them
He is open for kicks. But Volk kicked him ALOT and he still marched forward.

Topuria is still georgian 🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪😀😀
They will sick max on him
And max will get snuffed
Max is going to make this look easy
😂
Max couldnt beat volk in 3 fights
@@Ghostkid6598so what?
Make this look easy for who.. topuria? Blud it's going to be close both are skilled
I think a strong wrestler can probably take him; but there´s not one right now. So chances are he will defend the title for a little while at least.
Depends though really what their wrestling style is, I think they’d have to beat him in a very boring fight with little to no risk taking
Ilia IS a wrestler lol, he started as a kid
OMG how scary
In the pocket he lacks defense and is very open to kicks because of his boxing heavy stance, despite being a great grappler it hasn't translated well except just choking out a rocked bryce mitchel who was able to dodge his punches a few times
He hasn't had to use his grappling offensively much.
Herbt and youssef
he has said too many times he is trying to copy the best of the best so he trying to copy canelo for his boxing
Ye it is a good approach to take
He reminds me of an evolved Cody Garbrandt. Hopefully Volk wasn’t his Dom Cruz.
This AI generated description etc is pretty disappointing mate. You've got potential - use it!
Thank you mate - I will do, didn’t know how important the descriptions were honestly - thanks though appreciate it
So many of this videos will be obsolete once he fights max.

The SCARY Truth About Ilia Topuria that NOBODY is noticing
th-cam.com/video/2jweRbj6Zpk/w-d-xo.html
How’s he one of the most exciting champions when he hasn’t defended his belt 😂
Skill wise, his outside of the ring antics are killing him I agree
@@knockoutcinematics-1 yeah he seems good skill wise, guess we’ll see how good his striking really is compared to an elite striker like Max
Definitely, wouldn’t be surprised if you see him go for a few takedowns for some variety and he might struggle with the volume and speed of max also so it’s a very 50/50 fight
@@knockoutcinematics-1 I think ilia might be too stubborn and want to stand with max with no grappling, it might work but I don’t think he’ll win a striking match with max
Ye I think I agree tbf mate
1:44 wouldn’t that be max Holloway?
Max gets hit a lot.
Max doesn’t have “phenomenal defensive grappling”
Max also gets hit quite often and Topuria is going to sleep him
Omg i swear people suck off max in their head daily 😭😭😭
✌️🇬🇪❤️❤️❤️
Topuria vs Islam best Fight!❤
Crazy fight.
And dont count out volk either
