Mike Tyson vs BOb Sapp

[Kuttacross]

1. do we think this will ever happen?
2. will tyson smash his jaw in?
debate!...

I assume were talking an MMA match here, not K-1/Boxing.........

1/ Will never happen, not on a UFC/Pride size show at least - Think there gonna distance themselves from this type of 'exhibition' match to try and legitimise MMA in countries/states where its having a rough time in terms of bad PR/criticism from government/regulatory bodies etc.

Cant see it happening on a K1 show either as I think Bob has fell out with them cos of contractual issues at the K1 Grand Prix in Holland, or so the story goes! Shame really, cos K1 would put that matchup on! They seem keen on those exhibition matches, i.e, those fkin dodgy half Kickboxing half MMA bouts, where they change gloves between rounds - Fuckin daft they were!

2/ Bob Sapp would win by sheer brute force and size. Cant see tyson being able to 1) Learn an effective ground game/defence, 2) get back into fighting shap 3) Fight such a large opponent. Plus Sapp is 7 years younger than him (33)

I would say 1) NO and 2) YES.

Tyson has had been punched by some of the hardest hitting men in the world (in the past) and Im not sure Sapp could take him down fast enough while iron Mike is smashing his teeth in.

I agree. Tyson would KO him. Sapp is also shit on the ground.

[jimmy snuka]

1) Hopefully not

2) If Boxing Tyson even at this stage would fuck him up badly, though in MMA he'd just get wrestled to the ground n pounded to death. While Sapps ground game may be rather shite, Tyson has none at all.

[Emmet J]

Sapp might cry if Tyson hit him.

It's happened before.

[AntonM]

Would like to c it happen in K1 rules, like been said before it wont do mma as a general any good.

And Mike will KO Sapp.

[THE COLONEL]

sapp for me i tyson hasnt got the fire in his belly like he use to

[badger]

I think Tyson would take it as Sapp aint all that great. Just big and ugly!

Tyson hits hard and i dont think many could withsatnd a tyson flury!

[Keon]

The exact words that would come out of sapps mouth would be....

'I t'ink he broketed ma' nose'

:p

K:cool:
