You can still throw elbows to the body in Pride. Butterbean has good body shots.

the bean is training with ATT which means Monson is helping his ground game, the bean is crowd favorite, which sells tickets, he'll be around awhile.
One of his boxing matches I saw, the Bean threw the hardest punch ever in the HW division, he missed his opponent by at least 1 ft (slow mo reply verified this) and STILL KNOCKED THE GUY OUT ! WHAT POWER, NOT EVEN TYSON COULD MATCH THAT! boxing is so fking rigged and that with out a question doubt or debate proved it

[rev.jc]

please do not equate butterbean to any type of quality boxer, ever! He dented soup cans for a few years sure, but he would be dead if he had fought tyson or the recently deseased trevor burbick or riddick bow or hollyfield, heck Toney Tubbs K'oD him when he was over the hill, do not equate this as a quality boxer fighting in pride for he is not! He was a toughman throw over nothing more,
yes boxing is sometimes rigged, unfortunatly that is true.

Mark Hunt also hits like a train. Butterbean has been entertaining and is a good fighter but he is not in the same league as Hunt.

I don't believe Hunt had visa problems as he is from my country and we can enter the US legally for a visa free stay of up to 90 days. I had heard a rumour, and it's likely to be bullshit but I'll post it anyway, and that was that the Pride organisers felt that Hunt was too much of an opponent for Butterbean and decided to change the fight to protect Butterbeans safety. Like I said, probably bullshit. But I can't see how Hunt couldn't get into the US without a problem.

For the rumor, it was that the NSAC had felt that Hunt was a much more experianced pro fighter than Bean therefore he couldnt fight him... PRIDE wasnt concerned, they could care less if Butterbean got KTFO.

But the real reason was because of Hunt's visa problems or getting into this country or something like that. His bar fight incedent(in the past) had something to do with it im sure.

90 days? Is that a holiday or working visa? A holiday visa wouldn't work for a pro fighter, but I guess this must be pretty common & organisers have got it covered?

Thanks for clearing that up I didn't know about a bar fight incident and am well aware criminal records affect your visa status. Thanks.

Bean makes for an intersting toughman fighter. He is good at knocking out idiots but do not kid youself, he sucks. For his weight he has very mediocre power. He has very poor defense. Virtualy no head movement. He has not footwork.
