The difference we see, when the competition rules change! Props to Frank Galarza for transitioning into Muay Thai! Who wants to see more boxers come to MMA instead of just MMA fighters going into boxing? Comment below! Like in the recent news... Jon Jones vs Tyson Fury would be a crazy match up!!!

[@academyofstreetdance1107]

Feels like it's come around full circle since the early ufc days. Boxers should venture our way (again) and attempt mma. Excellent video Jeff as always. You've nspired me to focus on martial arts again bro! Thank you for your videos and journey. Rooting for you on usdc too

[@kalvinel-ramadan1053]

Props sir for sparring the bigger opposition while in his element of boxing 🥊

I see more ppl joking Bareknuckle fighting for some reason currently...personal choice at the end of the day ... the more the merrier for all lol There is no right answer really -like a game of chess - Out Think Out PLAY Out LAST!

The boxer is so respectful to understand that jeff is going light and his legs aren't fully prepared for kickboxing. And doesn't get ungry trying to land big shots to hurt Jeff

First time taking leg kicks. Yeah he would have a hard time even taking a shit.

[@alexthao11]

I gotta say this is one of your most entertaining sparring videos, specifically the boxing rounds. The chess match, the head movement, the counters, the stiff jabs, the slips, absolute beauty to watch the sweet science of boxing

[@MMAShredded]

very fun to do for sure, especially with his flow!!!

[@Vyantri]

This video is great but I must say I preferred the one he did where he rolled against bjj black belts. I loved that video.

[@AdrianoRodrigues]

Yep, i agree with you. Always nice to see such respect and high level sparring. Frank's leg movements were amazing

[@rickyr7790]

Agreed! The limited rule set is just like a chess match. It’s 70% mental. 30% physical. The greats have such an extremely high fight IQ.

[@aldavedesierdo42]

Give him 1 year of just basic kickboxing and he will be fire. Boxing round is on flow he is so smooth and very controlled, doesn't use his size you can tell when it comes to boxing he is very legit. Amazing vid Jeff❤

[@MMAShredded]

thanks for watching!

Possibly, but his boxing habits leaves him open to front kicking attacks: teeps, knees, lead leg head kicks, flying knees, elbows.

[@PBrrtrn]

Incredible how much the kicks took away from his head movement game. He was probably having a hard time processing all the new angles and heights at which to defend, but when you went to straight boxing, man, he has some moves. It's not often we see Jeff step in like that to try and smother someone's head movement, normally it's the other way around!

[@MMAShredded]

Ossss

[@debu2849]

Yes, Im from México and do Muay Thai, everybody tell me about "Boxing more" cus you know, México=Boxing but i always have to explain why I can't do the boxing things Thai, even the steps make u a tarjet to sweep, and not everybody understands that. Dude I can get a knee on my face if I do what r u tell me. Now, I have a Kickboxing fight last week, and there I could do so much more head movement.

[@alexmash1353]

Nah, the problem was not processing all new angles at all, me thinks. In the boxing round, he rarely looks at Jeff after he starts his head motions and his movements are often wider than they should be. The reason is, he developed a few.. automatic motion sequences which are probably quite effective in minimizing the damage, he knows when to start each. But when it comes to legs, it is difficult to develop such automation. So now it requires a lot more.. conscious defense than he is used to. But... those are just my speculations.

[@bobbadman1551]

you likey the head movements huh? 😉😏

[@kratos2758]

In a real fight he juist got kneed.

[@aarondaank]

I practice Muay Thai, but I have to admit, there’s something gorgeous about pure boxing. Great rounds!

[@filiphlupic1582]

I went from 4 years of boxing to muay thai recently and i will stay for some time because i respect and like the discipline.

[@CookMeSomeDamnEggs]

your boxing was still very impressive being that you're up against a pro boxer mate, you didn't look silly just outclassed which is completely fair. your distance and head movement is slick.

3:54 The way Frank pivots in the "phone booth" while completely evading is epic. You can visualize the foot in the tire drill. Wow, he is good. That much mass moving like a feather in the wind --- but can still impart jaw-pulverizing hooks in an instant. Thanks for this.

[@warandpeace73]

I think the British scene has grown by leaps and bounds. They have a rich boxing heritage and their style combines the two very well, imo. Learning the modifaction of head movement, many boxers, especially young ones in their early 20's can possibly make it to the international scene and make people understand that kickboxers CAN box. JMHO. Nice video Jeff.

[@MMAShredded]

Thanks man!!

Jeff, guys like Frank are truly a great find in a gym 👍....it answers the question, 'what can I do in muay thai when someone has a certain weapon that's clearly superior?' 'Can I neutralize it or employ the appropriate defense?' Especially for a boxer, I try to utilize different hand positions ( shell, long, peek a boo etc) to confuse or find something more effective. Awesome job as always 👏 👏👏

[@pantasticlaire3966]

As a boxer who also does Muay Thai on occasion: boxers do just hit harder in general. The stance can afford to be a bit more grounded and you work in throwing just punches so they tend to have a bit more structure behind them. Having started at kickboxing, gone to boxing, then sparred kick-boxers again I found myself being totally unbothered by the punches. Leg kicks in the other hand… not so much
