I think the boxing style that he developed could do wonders in MMA. I know some people see it as funny, but I think Iron Mike has something to share and people could learn from. BTW, you should watch his documentry from like 08' it's amazing.

If you try to teach an MMA fighter a basic boxing stance, pure boxing head movement etc. he will get not do well boxing... as a coach for boxing I think he would do fantastic!

I wonder why Anderson and GSP bother working with boxing coaches....

(Not to mention dozens of other fighters).

DanielCaton 8 Member Since: 4/11/11 Posts: 151	Yeah, I understand the general concept of a great athlete doesn't always make a great coach. It's just from interviews I've seen, he provides great comentary on the psyche of a fighter and technique. I think he would do fine. You have ignored this user.

torquemada 229 Member Since: 1/15/06 Posts: 9440	Gilbert956 - I've heard Mike give advice on punching power..."You should always try to punch through the back of your opponents head" That's not a bad tip. I always used to throw short until someone told me basically the same thing. You have ignored this user.
