Back when UFC champion and kickboxer tried boxing sparring 🥊

This was sick af. Sean rolls with everything and he can pour it on. That other dudes shit was so nice tho.

Yeah it's outstanding 👌

The boxer was good, but Strickland just has too good of defense. He rolls with everything perfectly.

Yeah even with him not being a professional

Facts. People see the highlight-reel knockouts, but they don't see the thousands of hours spent throwing the exact same jab in front of a mirror.

Sean is catching hooks with his face and people talking about rolling 😂

Bruhh 😭😭

He outweigh the boxer and still got outclassed

That why it's called sparring No real damage intended

obviously you can still be outclassed in sparring, of course no real damage intended but you get to see a fighter's skills compared to the other

Look at the size difference!😒

That's why it called sparring

This is accurate discipline right Herr

Smaller boxer was still cookin em

@BrickX61 Yeah he was but still sparring

I aint say it wasnt tho, even in a boxing ring hes doin em like that in a mma ring he jus gon kick em n take em down🤷

One of them has head protection, and one of them doesn't

The technical adjustments required to transition from MMA and kickboxing to pure boxing sparring are massive; those angles are completely different.

The 'pocket' in pure boxing is a completely different universe.

Enforcing that standard early. The technique is sharp, but the discipline is what makes them a future problem. 🥶⚡️"

But the 2 have different rules

Yeah man They do

Who has the highest chance of going pro in the family right now??

Eddie Alvarez didn’t even look like he belonged in the same tier that night, and he was the sitting lightweight champion.

Davis all the way

Different weight class, but very good match up

When a world-class kickboxer takes off the shinguards and steps into pure boxing waters 🥶 Whole different rhythm, same dangerous power.

100%. No safety net of a heavy low kick to reset the distance.

Great work from both

"A kickboxer" and it's Rukiya Anpo

Weight difference made the difference

Yeah it does but it's still sparring

We miss @anpo_rukiya

Well, weight difference is too big.

Good honest work 👏

damn Strickland's pace and cardio really is too much for anyone (other than DDP who is built different)

Show the whole fight and you’ll see Strickland won

Sean using hammer fist to knock the guy's guard down to expose his face 😬

Boxer looked good but nothing seemed to hurt Sean, like he’s a robot.

And he wasn't even in it like in the ring

What weight was that guy at cause he landed some bombs, and Strickland took them like nothing, probably a 155er with way less power. He looked way cleaner then Sean but size matters

kickboxer going too hard for attention

Attention huh 🤔

theres a reason a lot of high profile fighters dont train with randoms.

Philly high shell, for the win

Wahouuu respect à ce gars! Au moins deux catégories en dessous. C' est beau décidément l' Anglaise!

Lol, the UFC champion and kickboxer left with no damage after beating the dog shit out of the boxer and left him bloody and bruised even wearing protective guard

I wanna fight silver gloves he's sharp 🔥🔥

He just leaves himself open for the overhand right.

pure boxing is pretty much useless as soon as legs and takedowns come into play.
