It takes years for fighters to get where they are, 6 months is nothing. Much respect to him. Takes a lot of guts to step in the ring and he did it in that age and within only 6 months.
he is a star, i am most impressed that he was willing to put himself in an unfamiliar setting such as boxing. to me age.is.less of a factor
Pretty impressive for a guy his age to go into Kickboxing. Looks like he's not doing half bad for a 44 year old either.
Go
West African genes...they're athletic beasts m8.
He’s obviously on TRT lol
Netflix needs to make a "Blade" series with Idris Elba.
HASHTAG HITS seriously though!!!!!
Old Man Blade...
Wesley snipes an actual multi black belt
Or green lantern
Facts
Big respect to Idris. I am an ex very average amateur boxer. From SA. To spar with guys like Francois Botha is no joke. And the kalakoda family are legendary. As a 52 year old who still spars and does the odd baby fight. Competing with father time is also no joke.
Elba is a Beast and takes a lot of balls to enter this game and get in the ring.
But these skills take years to develop, and facing a high level guy that does not hold back, he might get "lit up like a Christmas tree". Best of luck mate.
It hurts my heart to see Idris get hurt! But I am soooooo proud of him! Keep pushing Dris! You can do this!!!!
I've always been a big fan of Idris between his acting abilities that gorgeous voice and his humor and now to see how he pushes himself at an age where most men wouldn't dare😊😊😊😊😊
Bro, Im loving this!!
WAR ELBA!!!
Pain is temporary, Pride is forever!!!
Keep in mind Idris doesn't need to do this, but his doing it
keep it up dude. we can see the hard work you are putting in and your improvement. tons of respect. good job keep it up. there is no greater sin than a man not finding his body's true potential. you are inspiring
Everything is good so far except he lost that fight. Let's keep it real.
tbbsrr I agree. I don't know anything about kickboxing and we didn't see the whole match, but from what I've seen it looked that way to me! (Hence the ironic smile on the other guy 's face!)
I'm sure Idris knew that as well. I think everyone there knew that. But the pro fighter had no complaints cuz I'm sure it doesn't go on his record.
They really threw him in at the deep end. He aint got no business sparring Olympians and ex heavy weight champs. Sure it makes for great tv, but he's pushing himself harder than he needs to.
Stop hating on the man. This is something to be celebrated, not frowned upon.
@@Jfreebarr343 If you took that as hate then you don't now anything about constructive analysis.
@eon001 Oh yes... There is a scientific or sophisticated word for everything, I suppose.
He's doing better than I thought. They need to cast him as John Stewart (Green Lantern)
Oh my god. How can I sleep now,seeing this man so. I am very excited,oh....
Miladys Borrell are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Thanks so much miladys i really appreciate , if you dont mind let me get to know a true fan better . You can drop your phone number to me in my mail so i can text you and get to know you better.

Love it!
He's one of my favorites. He's building more character and getting schooled on discipline of a kind he's not accustomed to. He's doing good for a man his age. I'm impressed.
this is awesome
putting him in his first match against a guy with so much experience is unrealisitc and stupid.
real fighters are pitted against opponents of similar status. they should have matched him against another inexperienced guy. maybe they were afraid he would lose against a beginner. but nobody expects him to win the first time around anyway. he lost that fight but theres nothing to be ashamed of. it takes courage to go into a ring against another fighter.
most likely they matched him up against that guy because he could control himself more than a newcomer and not hurt idris.
the control and not hurt him part is more likely to be the reason than the protect his ego part
Not just a great actor but a descent fighter considering his age an lack of experience . What a man
i need to see this!!
Good work, Heimdall!
mad respect
Real respect bro....
One word , respect !
discovery uk..can u upload the full documentry ppppppppplllllllllleeeeaaaaasssssseeeee
impressive!
This shit is good 😀
Beast!
Great genes, great work, and great mental toughness.
Tengo ganas de Verlo hace mucho tiempo
This is pretty cool. He is the man we need right now.. little boys need hero's.
HE IS A AMAZING MAN
Oh my god, I'm imagining how much of a beast Idris would be after this. We need the John Wick directors to get him his franchis after this holy shit
This man is something...
Impressive.
suck a great guy, enjoyed this series loads!
watch in slow motion to really enjoy!
Keep going Idris. I'm a NOBODY, but I'm pulling for ya. Give it all you got mate! Do the best you can. That's all you can do.
I like how he went and trained in Cuba
Does anyone else find it weird that they're lettting Idris spar with pros without any protective headgear? Idris looks pretty badass, but he's still an amateur.
Often times more than not head gear makes sparring worse because you're partner hits you harder knowing you have it on.
@@goldjustgold5942 Maybe so, but headgear helps protect you from cuts, which could stop you from fighting on a given day. Every boxing gym I've been to, very few spar without head gear, and every amateur I've seen up to Olympic level spars with head gear.
@@raksh9 Well they'd an easy one. On the Olympic level 1) you have to get used to having it on because you still fight with head gear on in the ring, at the Olympics. Then 2, At that level people /fighters know how to fight with self control. They even more have stats on the dangers of wearing head gear weekly sparring. I like the fact that you mentioned that it does indeed prevent cuts beecher its true. I'll give you that you. You have a point but it's still dangerous on average.
@@raksh9 Good point though.
They're pro's. I'd be more concerned about him sparring intermediate amateurs with headgear than sparring pro's without headgear. The pro's have no ego and nothing to prove by knocking out the big actor. They can go in there as professionals and give Elba the work he needs to improve. There's a reason they call them sparring partners and not sparring opponents. I would trust real pros to take care of Elba.
The Cuban looks amazing.
Lawrence kenshin studied the boxer featured in this episode. he's a really tough guy and hits like 12 gauge. idris is lucky he took it easy on him, what a good guy he is .
Where’s the full episodes of these? Can’t find them anywhere!
idris genial.
how are you making a movie full time, and still able to train??? absolute warrior
If Botha gave 100% Elba wouldn’t be standing today lol
He was such a good sport, he knew Idris couldn't hurt him badly and just took it.
@@johnty505 for sure. Botha ain't no joke even in his later age. If he really goes against someone who doesn't box regularly he will seriously hurt them
This is brutal ... respect to bossy
idris elba's mom is so beautiful
Zodiac Queen beautiful mom beautiful son
Alice Alice yes indeed!
Zodiac Queen AGREED! And she's better than me! I would have went after the buzzard that hit my son. Don't care if it was a tap!
She is.
She's also a stronger woman than me. I don't have children but my womb cried for her watching her son take those hits like that,lol. God bless her.
Yes she is! The look on her face when he went down made me want to hug her. I couldn't imagine being the mother of a boxer, watching your child take hits like that!
i wish i could have a chance like this in my life ..that was really good .good job
You can. I started fighting Muay Thai in London at 47 for KO Gym East and now I fight out of Diesel MMA Gym. I did just like Idris. Gassed in the first round of my first amateur fight, struggled thru the second round but I was TKO's in the third. I'm still an amateur because unlike Idris I have a day job. Just knowing that you are doing something that most men will not do is awesome. The friends you make (all half my age) are great as well. The respect you will receive from other fighters, friends and family is unmatched.
+NuEnque Nice. I used to train at Diesel. I was there when Cliff Bura was running it. He was a great trainer. Not sure if you got a chance to meet him, it was some time ago.
NuEnque is that KO bloodline you fought out of?
Same here man! If I had the opportunity to train like Idris? I would take it and run with it but since I work a Janitorial job it's rough but I do train at home like thai fighters of course and MMA fighters! Respect to you
Literally join any boxing gym idiot
Nothing's stopping you lol
Дискавери: если можно перевод, буду ждать спасибо большое за видео.👍
fuckin hell! talk about in at the deep end. maximum respect!
Podrían subirlo subtitulado o decirme dónde lo pillo así
Mad respect for Idris. I had no idea he was so tough. I just thought he was a great actor
does anyone know where to DL these episodes? cant access them anywhere here in aussie :(
I need them too :-(
piratebay or kickass torrent
The south african Afrikaaner accent is always distinguishable

Idris Elba v CM Punk. Elba destroys him
Josh Kahn yeah except Idris is wayyyy bigger than CM
Will Bouffard Heck no he's not way bigger... when u look at cm punk it's from a great distance making him look small but if he is smaller it's barely
CM Punk is like 6'2 and cuts from 200 lbs. He just looks small when you see him against other pro wrestlers. He's not a small man.
phenomenom20 cm punk is definitely not 6 foot 2 6 foot at most. However I do see where you’re coming from idris isn’t that much bigger
My name is idris too
7:26 Draw? White guy was holding back all the time. Anyway, props to Idris. I started judo and jiu-jitsu when I was 42, so I know how hard it is.
He was holding back his smile as well
2:41 That woman in pink tho!!!!!!
Draw really? that's reality tv for you.
Idris take damage for two and they called a draw, this is absurd, but is a nice show despite the fight he´s really trying to fight
Lol that nigga lost and the white dude was laughing like run me my check please 😂
The first round he went after him. After that Idris got wrecked.
Stringer still playing them fucking away games
Here's the thing, I'll believe every single shot taken against Idris Elba's face were real, every training advise given were genuine and all the painful emotions portrayed were honest. If only you confirm that the guy at 0:56 is not "Mooj" from the film "The Forty Year Old Virgin".
How did he draw with this guy, idris got rekt
We didn't see all the match...
Resilience.
7:26 you can read both of their minds. Idras: Yes! I held on and did it! Halforty: Yeah, draw my ass.
No sound???
Idris Elba for BOND!
where is his.mother from? Nigeria?
Bad fucking Ass
Repton!!!!
Can you put the translator option in Spanish?
draw? maybe the guy ran the entire fight and just landed the right uppercut knockdown...
still pretty badass that stringer bell has some good skills
Much respect to Mr. Idris Elba. But some would wonder WHY??? When you already have "everything" at least as most people would see it, why put yourself through this?
GET IN THERE IDRIS! AY I BET GANGSTER RAPPERS WONT EVEN HAVE THE HEART FOR THAT!
how is it possible for someone to still look sexy while getting hit in the face?!😇😆😍
VIVE FIGHTLAND
"give me cm punk, you know this, i deserve this" - Idris Elba
This is a movie right?
now make a movie do
Idris train me please. I'm NOT joking.
his hair was steaming 0:03 happens to me all the time
idris elba vs rico verhoeven
He's really black suppa man👀
This is super compelling and cool, but the punch sound effects at :50 seem pretty ridiculous to me. Each punch sounds like a whip snapping
Francois Botha has fought Mike Tyson and was winning for a few rounds. Hardly going to get worried by fighting Elba.
3:37
poor mum
I PICK IDRIS
Why the fuck are they putting sound effects on the punches landed? lol
1:00 that guy was south African
5:49 every Nigerian knows that face.
😂😂😂
need that trainer in my life fucking champion
Maybe hardcore the way they train him with pro athletes. Idk. He was beginning after all.
If that was a two round fight it's a real shame they would play silly bollocks with the results for something like this. That said I do rate him for doin this overall cause he still is getting hit for real let's not forget...
should've took him to Thailand !! train at aka Thailand or sitmonchai
LETS GO CM PUNK!!
Lol Idris training in UFC MMA gloves when there is no grappling.
He should have trained in amsterdam!!!
Jasin Tairaidrissi and get a head injury lmao
Yeah that first round of your first fight is a bitch! Youre like, I gotta do that 2 more rounds, fuck!
nvr make light of a trained fighter.... never,,, no matter how good in shape u are...
