Thread: Danny better improve his skills

cool.

That's pretty bad ass. Here's hoping that he has good adults around him to help him improve his skills and still retain a well-rounded life.

<~Hopes he enters the MMA world instead of a one dimensional world.

Wolff's Law FTW!

Fighters who punch or kick objects with increasing intensity (or of increasing hardness) to develop striking power to damage opponents, often display increases in bone density in the striking area. Others may do this specifically to reduce pain response in the nerve endings of the striking tissue and to increase the bone density. Due to the ballistic and inconsistent nature of striking practise, load-bearing exercises are generally a safer form of measurable progression for increases in both bone and muscle strength.
Many fighters will do things like knuckle push-ups as a form of conditioning, for example, so the impacts of strikes are only supplementary conditioning, as ideally in both sparring and striking practise as well as competitive contest your body should not be experiencing adequate stress for microtrauma adaptation. This is so the body can solely focus on technique and nervous recruitment and not tissue adaptation which can be distracting. Not including supplementary exercise does however guarantee that the body will not over-adapt and develop toughness specifically in response to training demands, which can be a factor for those concerned with making weight, and not wanting to develop bone or muscle weight they may not need for contest.

If he keeps at it, by the time that he's twenty, after a decade and a half of punching during his growing years, he's going to hit like a sledge hammer.

I was thinking the same thing. His dad was on the show and said that the kid trains 2 hours a day/ 5 days a week, and made it sound like "Bam Bam" enjoys it while still getting to hang out with friends. He also does spiritual rap in his spare time. Sounds like a pretty happy kid with a dad whose very involved in his sons life.

I hope he does good but alot of times child prodigys dont work out.

Bj Penn............ I Will Say Nothing More About Prodogies Danny

Richard sandrak. He was supposed to be the next best mma fighter. lookat him. lol

then "pretty boy" floyd. he started pretty early.

im not saing the kid is bad. hes great. but we need to give him time before we start juding him. also he might have a glass jaw as ive said. thats something your born with.

danny you funny dude!!! and everyone is born with a glass jaw...... EVERYONE!!! it depends on what you dp through out your life on whether you can take a shot or not. you take someone thats never been punched or anything really hit them in the face they are going to go down. then someone that trains and works on taking punches will get better at it. some are naturally born with a higher tolerance than others. danny how long have you been involved in the fight would? are you part of any mma forums or anything like that? i think you need to get educated!!!! you can build toughness and tolerance, but you CAN'T FIX STUPID!!!!

no...you cant make your jaw stronger. look at aturo gatti. he got hit so many times in teh face and he still has a glass jaw. yah im part of mma forums.the consensus is that you cant strenghten you rjaw.

Boxing is wayyyy more strategical compared to most MMA stand uppers. Defense, counter punching, the jab, etc. Watch a MMA stand-up fight where they throw half as many punches as in boxing and they're gassed in 2 minutes. Boxers do it for 12 three minute rounds. Also, in MMA, one power shot likely ends the fight or has the fighter hurt and tired for the rest of the round because of those shitty 4 oz. grappling gloves.

The strategy in boxing technique probably comes close to equaling your average well rounded mixed martial artist who practices BJJ, wrestling, and some stand-up discipline. A boxer spends his whole camp on different aspects of boxing while the martial artist needs to split the same time between different disciplines. So I wouldn't exactly call boxing one dimensional.

i was refering to general toughness in general. not saying stand there and get punched in the face. but you have to get hit to take one period!!! whether you wear head gear or what you have to get hit. the object is to avoid it, but if you have never been hit solid when you finally do it will throw you for a loop.

and talking about glass jaws ANYONE i mean ANYONE can be knocked out. there is more to getting knocked out then a weak jaw. the angle your hit at, the point of impact all that plays. i dont care how solid you think your chin is you can be knocked out. get knocked out once it is easier to get knocked out again.

but we are going back and fourth about a 5 year olds jaw, how stupid is that???

goodfello i see what your saying in the striking department, but (a HUGE but) how good would an MMA striker be if all he had to worry about was hands, and the guy is wearing larger gloves. plus there are MMA guys out there that are GREAT boxers (in boxing) look at Jens he is undefeated in boxing and lost 8 in MMA. i dont think you can truely test a striker until he has to worry about all aspects of a fight and still be able to strike.

but this is an argument that will never end!!!

mma fighters are no where near boxers levels of punching.

ok........ then why did the "BEST POUND FOR POUND BOXER" bitch up. danna white told him we will get the money your looking for (say that takes care of the money issue) if you fight sean sherk. pretty boys counter offer was, "I APPOLOGIZE, I DIDNT MEAN ANY DISRESPECT" i think most people would call that a bitch when it comes down to a fight. if his striking is SO good and he would knock him out no problem. why didnt he take that easy pay day and shut up the argument?
