This dude is the real deal
If you think andersons striking is K1 worthy your an idiot this guys will obliterate Anderson

[geezerjitsu]

He is impressive, obviously. It'll be fun to keep watching him.

This thread ahve been done alot before

[Willy Lump Lump]

was expecting a picture of a gun....

Melvin is a very good striker, great hands....

but how are his knees? elbows? clinch?

more importantly, Silva is a BJJ BB, hed tap Melvin easily IMO.

[junglistx]

Melvin's gas tank has also been suspect in the past.

Quality striker though no doubt.

[villasenor]

he fought in K-1, something silva would probably never do

[Art Vandelay]

Manhoef has an outstanding ability to finish fights on his feet. However, the only striking skill set I would give in favor to Manhoef would be punching power, and even that is iffy.

[nogiforme]

YEah, he punches hard. Silva has power, accuracy world class MT and a black belt in BJJ. I don't think Melvin would have a chance in an MMA fight. MAYBE and a huge MAYBE in a stand up match. I seriously doubt it though. Silva by knees in the clinch.

[xXSpawnXx]

^^^Um Remy bonjasky is 2 inches taller than Anderson, 2 time k-1 GP champion and his knees are way bigger (his flying knee could touch basketball rim) in the stand up he could do just fine. On the ground Anderson is way better, but Manhoef is making an effort. He's with ATT now, he's been training there quite a while now with the likes of JZ, Marcelo Garcia, Denis Kang, etc etc.

Haha. You serious? World Class Muay Thai guys would tool Silva. Manhoef beats him in a kickboxing match. MMA match yeah Silva easily takes him down taps him.
