Frank Mir vs Steve Cunningham - another MMA vs Boxer on undercard of Jake Pau -Askren

[elterrible987]

Didnt even see that this was happening until today.


Should be interesting. No idea if Frank Mir had a boxing background? I only heard of his name before


Mir is 41 and 276 pounds, out of shape

Cunningham is 44 and 206 pounds, looking really lean


Cunningham fought Tyson Fury and dropped him. Fury has a good chin. Cunningham is legit and a high level fighter who fought at both cruiser (190-200) and heavyweight (200+ against larger guys).

Mir is in way over his head. Looks like the fight was only made a few weeks ago. Expect to see Mir get sparked out. Looks like they were originally going for Antonio Tarver who has a smaller natural frame than Cunningham and used to fight at light heavy.

A ko win by cunningham rd 1-2 seemed really good. Then you see frank is 70 lbs heavier and on trt lol

Will Mir and Askren make MMA look bad?

Mir getting knocked out is to be expected, Cunningham has 38 pro fights, is younger and larger than what Mir was initially targeting in Tarver.

Cunningham was world level in boxing, maybe as a boxer sure he wasnt the champ but hes only 3 years older than Mir and has fought at the highest level, fighting adamek, Tyson fury and older tarver.

Mir is just fatter and more massive than him but they are the same height and mir dont have any reach advantage or anything, he has no hope here.

Totally different scenarios. Mir is going against a high level professional boxer. Mir is 100% expected to lose.

Askren is going against a Youtuber who has only fought a couple exhibitions against other pseudo celebs with zero boxing experience. Askren has infinitely more combat sport experience against other professional fighters and wrestlers. If he loses, it will absolutely make MMA look bad to casuals.

I believe Askren will impose his will on Paul in the later rounds and TKO him.

They will both lose

Where can you stream this?

[CanardMedic]

Frank mir!? Towards the end of his career, he definitely improved his boxing alot but that was years ago.
he looks worse than ever now and he definitely did not train for this. He's gonna get tko and I don't even know who he's fighting.

cunningham should have taken him out in round 5 or 6

Lol mma fighters gonna keep going into boxing and get their ass wooped. Alvarez is next then ngannou

[elterrible987]

went through it a bit, first few rounds he went easy on him waiting for him to tire but by the time he turned it up in the later rounds he ran out of time, was only a 6 round fight. Mir showed a good chin

Steve only has one ko in the past 10 years. It was what it was, Mir looked OK, both shouldn't be in a fight again.

Boxers do the same in MMA. It's almost like they are different sports. But there is money to be made I guess.
