Video: Boxing Sparring Gone Bad, Ponce De Leon and Hoskins Employ MMA Techniques During Brawl

Well, MMA-ish techniques.

Here's an interesting sparring video between former Super-Bantamweight Champion, Daniel Ponce De Leon (41-4) and undefeated young prospect, Kevin Hoskins (4-0), as pointed to us by our friends at Bad Left Hook.

Things start out as a simple sparring session, until things go bad at around the 30-second mark of the clip. It could just be the 30-second warning, but De Leon appears to have thrown a punch after the bell, and then things started to escalate from there.

Tempers flared, and the boxing session suddenly became more like an ugly brawl from amateur MMA match.

Watch the video below where both fighters employ techniques such as an impressive looking Judo trip takedown, a couple of Badr Hari-esque stomp attempts, and also a few sucker punches and kicks as the coaches were trying to restrain the fighters.

As always, for the best coverage in all things boxing, head over to Bad Left Hook.

This kind of stuff happens more than you think

I’ve heard similar accounts of Wrestlers getting into windmill ‘boxing’ matches. They haven’t been able to get one over on the other with the skill set they train in, so it turns into a clusterfuck of something else.

MMA 101 (or really, Art of War 101)

Exploit your opponent’s weakness. Which is not a wrestler’s wrestling or a boxer’s boxing.

Hell, that happens in mma. how many times have we seen two great grapplers get into an ugly kickboxing match

Exactly

If you were losing a knife fight and had a gun, wouldn’t you use it?

if you can't stop competing when the bell rings,

then maybe prize fighting isn’t for you. right, paul daley? it’s a competition, not a brawl.

Textbook Muay Thai foot sweep there

That’s why I love Muay Thai… not only can you strike with all 8 points, but they also allow sweet throws.

Because God gave us violence to wage in his honor... There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my violence conquer yours?"

Funny how all fights end up looking like MMA

they’re both boxers, yet one of them realized they had the advantage to trip the other fighter, while the other fighter responded with kicks once he was up.

Perhaps my best years are gone... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

WTF does this have to do with mma? absolutly nothing!
99,9% of mma fans don’t know who Daniel Ponce De Leon is.
The other 0,1% are either Cubans that watched Yuri Gamboas

Chill. It's just an advertisement for Bad Left Hook.

I think you forgot that this is a combat sports blog.

This even is more related to MMA than those coverage of Cotto-Margarito, or Pacquiao-Marquez.

Also, you might have forgotten that we run this site, and no matter how much you bitch, we won’t change for you.

Well lets be honest...

….Broner lost that fight and he knows it. His inexperience allowed him get lured into a brawl and that was DeLeons fight. Daniel got beat the shit up against JuanMa, that’s a definite loss, Broner, not so much.

by Cestus84 on Dec 15, 2011 2:24 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Nick Diaz was right, Mayweather likely can’t stop the double leg.
