Former UFC champ Frank Mir will face Antonio Tarver in a boxing match

[dc007]

Nothing is more exciting than seeing grapplers throw hands with boxers...

I dont' follow boxing, but apparently this guy held multiple boxing championships? And Frank is challenging this guy to a boxing match? What an atrocious idea.

He knocked out Roy Jones Jr.

They should've done Anderson Vs Tarver! Way better than Mir-Tarver. Give the spider a chance

He knocked out Roy Jones Jr.

Lol rip Mir

 

[Cyrano200]

Mir by kneebar

How cool would that be?
He gets stunned and goes into panic mode. Shoots for the take down, and rolls to the knee bar, all while the ref looks on in confusion and Tarver has to figure out how to tap.

This is shaping up to be a ROUGH night for MMA. Askren is probably gonna get tooled by a YouTuber and Mir is gonna get flatlined by Tarver.

I saw Mir try and box Dos Santos in his last title shot it did not go well for him

 

[USA!USA!]

Tarver old af but Frank sucks lol - I don't see how he beats Tarver.

I like Frank too much to support this.
Why not make it an MMA fight? Or grappling?
It supports the Boxing is bigger argument and I don't like that.

The ONLY argument I see is the age difference but its not like Frank is some young guy either lol

 

[storeybuckle]

Terrible fight for Mir

Maybe because it's a boxing event?

A 52 year old former boxing champ fighting 41 year old Frank Mir in a 10 round boxing bout...

To set up a Youtuber vs a 52 year old former boxing champ.

You just blew that guys mind..
Now you have to clean it up.

Also its sad you even had to explain it.

I’ll never understand why there is a market for waaay past their prime fighters. Is it a comedy thing?

Like, Khabib is great but I’ll be honest, I don’t care to see vs. Usman at Bellator 643 in 2033. But, sadly, that fight would probably sell like crazy.

Maybe because it's a boxing event?

But like, why is it a boxing event? There are a lot of things these guys could be doing, like arts and crafts, or community theatre

If it were in the past, Mir wouldn't be in a boxing match.

Lol

Money will make mma fighter do dumb things. They should have 2 minutes of grappling with no gloves. It would take less than 1 minute Im sure.

I hope Mir is absolutely juiced and has some EPO in him for good measure
