Terry Crews Out! Chael Sonnen vs Anderson Silva this June 15

[TopTort777]

It is, but the OP did hype the original fight LOL which such title.

But I guess it's better now, Sonnen vs Silva. Sonnen almost got Silva in their first fight and if Sonnen could have just hold in the last minutes but he did go for broke and Silva caught him.

They are way past their prime though, and it's already 2-0 in favor of Silva, second fight is not even close. So most likely as other exhibition fights, this is all for the money. However, at least fans get to see one more time of their legendary rivalries.

Correct me if wrong, but they are going have a boxing fight with same rules as Mike Tyson vs Jake Paul has (short rounds). Silva is more experienced in that, as he had some fights recently, while Sonnen after retiring from UFC became sort of a fight analytics or commentator. Moreover, Sonnen was more of a grapping/wrestling oriented, when Silva was always a striker. All this makes me think that Silva will knock Sonnen out making it 3-0 in their series.

If this is a boxing rule, then yes, Silva as all the advantage in this fight as even in the UFC he is a good striker and has experience fighting in exhibition matches and winning with boxing rule. Sonnen has his hands full here, and I think he is not in the best shape of his life after his UFC days as he become a commentator.

So it's like another mismatch here, and I wouldn't be surprise like you that it will be 3-0 for Silva here.

And it's obvious that this is just another money grab for both and there could be fans buying this fight as they might have to see their idol in the ring one last time.

When they fought for the first time, Silva was outboxed by Sonnen. That's why Silva was easily taken down in the first place because he was hit first with a jab and then Sonnen quickly went for the takedown.

Boxing I think will still be a fair fight for both. But true Silva's reach advantage will dictate the fight and he may be able to use it while Sonnen will just be able to keep pressuring.

Yes, but Silva has more experience in boxing now, He is 2-1-1 in the ring, and that L came from the wonder boy, Jake Paul. While we haven't seen Sonnen, all we have in him is in UFC and it doesn't look good that's why I say it's a mismatch and Silva going for 3-0. And even in the UFC Silva is known to be a striker, while Sonnen is more of a wrestler.

And it was reported that the fight is going to be contested at a catchweight of 98kg (216 pounds), with both fighters donning 14-ounce gloves. And it's good to hear that they are doing this specially gloves for safety reasons.

Actually Sonnen has been getting in better shape in the last month by doing a lot of cardio so maybe he knew something like this could happened and I'm not surprised he instantly accepted this challenge because it's a good promotion for both of them. Hopefully , this event will attract more retired legends to give one more fight and hopefully GSP will be the next one as that will make millions of UFC fans happy.
