2 minute rounds -- the perfect crossover time between a 3 min boxing round and 5 min MMA round.

Also inside a triangular ring, the perfect compromise between a 4-sided ring and 8-sided octagon. Are the crossover gloves finger cots?

Well apparently the rules set is basically boxing plus spinning backfists and clinching.

Also holy poo poo the rest of this card. And apparently there will be mini Metallica concert somewhere during

Let them punch anywhere but the MMA foul areas, imo.
Doesn't really change effective stuff, but I want people to have the option.

Also, didn't some other promotion's triangle arena show that it was a grappler's paradise, cuz it's harder to circle out of the 60deg corner?
That with unlimited clinching sounds like a potential snooze.

I wanna say that was Dada's thing and it was more due to the fight discipline differences. The people with grappling experience were just better trained.

Was that a stipulation of the re-signed fight?
I see the bigger mat and corner posts -- that's what everyone else fought in, right?

Frank Mir has entered that "professional fighters you could conceivably beat in a fight" tier and it's deeply, deeply tragic.

Just from that clip, what is the concession to MMA fighters again? Continued striking from the clinch?
Punching only, I think MMA gloves gives an edge to boxers who will do more damage with their punches, even if they need to adjust their defense for it.

Punching from an active clinch, plus backfists and superman punches are allowed

Superman punches aren't allowed in regular boxing? what? How's the rule phrased?

think it has something to do with leaving the feet to throw?

e: i am not an expert on which strikes are legal in boxing, just saying when they showed what was allowed in triller triad combat club, they showed the normal assortment of punches (jab, cross, hook, uppercut, bolo) and then were like "also allowed are spinning backfists and superman punches" as if those are special mma allowances

Also, the thing about a superman punch, is that it's based off a feigned kick. Which kind of needs kicks to be legal in order to work...

oh yeah, it's not that Pulev isn't serious competition, it's that before Pulev had even landed on him Mir was moving, punching and breathing like he was underwater

every punch he threw looked like the punch Todd Duffee threw against him that got him murdered
