Tyson was MUCH MUCH MUCH more compact in his strike when he hit the pad at some sick poundage, like 2200 or 2400...something like that.

Thats a different fighting style all together. You can't compare MMA to pure boxing.

The wide punches thrown in MMA do land and do knock people the fuck out. Its harder to block small gloves, with small gloves. When you have to worry about every possible angle of attack, a looping punch has a better chance of making it, than when you just have to watch the guy's hands.

Did you just bump an old thread?
