So I'm watching this 10 minute clip of Anderson Silva sparring (boxing style) at Freddie Roach's club. It suddenly hits me...he is so good for three reasons -
1) He is incredibly agile. He makes me think of that old saying by Ali "float like a butterfly"
2) He can see the attack so clearly before it lands and then employ his agility to quite often avoid it
3) He counterpunches at odd angles, using his fists to come back at you from strange vectors that you don't see
Oh and a 4th reason...
4) Taking him to the ground is no good, he is a legit BJJ black belt.
Anderson Silva rocks. Enjoy this clip while I am busy nuthugging.
