for everyone who says it staged or a fix, watch the full version. It was a thundering knee to his stomach that put him down, maybe he could of got up, but the knee was terrible. lion heart idris
That makes sense, his legs and arms might've been fine but if his core was messed up then he wouldn't have been able to get up. Plus, let's be honest, no way in hell was that guy in proper fighting shape. He underestimated Idris and paid for it.
doesn't matter if your a god dam professional boxer, if you get knee'd to your solar plexus at the wrong time. Your going down without any breath. kickboxer or not.
yeah, i was over here getting all inspired, then i realized that fucker is probably getting cashed out to lose, and sure enough it looks like a fucking dive. lmao
ya me too I think the first fight was more realistic I wouldn't mind if he had lost if he had gave it his all but how I'm the hell is this guy professional if he looses to a 44 year old amateur with 10 months of training? a lucky hit I understand but a count out? I smells bs
As someone who has been watching combat my whole life from kung fu movies as a child to watching ufc and mma for over 20 years, that was a dive and i went straight to comments to see if it was a real bout or not being they saying it is. Im no fool but still Idris moves well. At one point he hit a counter cross jab into fake cross to get his head off center to his own left while taking a step forward to get in range to hit a rear knee. I was like "what the hell? How long hes been training??" Im self taught so i dont know how long to be trained by a professional to look like that but he looks like hes had a years training i would say. Maybe 1.5 to 2?
Discovery recorded his journey all the way upto his first pro match. However, they didnt even show clearly his knockout which must be the MOST important part of the video. Right? Please stop faking out people its unrespectful for the MMA community.
First of all, MMA means Mixed Martial Arts which includes Kickboxing also. I still believe it doesnt show clearly at all. If it was they would replay it. Plus if you ever watch a kickboxing game, when the guys knocked out they dont act like this dude checking around on the mat with full conciseness. It is clearly fake and he was a bad actor.
That looks suspiciously like a worked fight. The fact that they don't show the actual KO shot is telling. If it was legit we would have seen 8 ultra slow-mo replays of his fist/knee/elbow/whatever connecting.
Yep, yet again they don't show the finishing blow. I'm guessing it was faked. Also, the guy gets up straight away after the 10 count and looked normal? lol. 100% thrown/faked.
Actually, it (Elba > Bond) makes a whole lot of sense. For months, people have indicated that Elba cannot play Bond because he's not qualified. He clearly is and no even just as an actor. Most actors that played Bond in the past can't or won't do what he's doing off screen.
the way you've worded this is as if you've compared elba to bond (a fictional character, which in itself is already a flawed comparison) and conclude that elba is greater than bond. how does this make sense? if you honestly think this actor who is learning kickboxing could somehow be better than james bond is delusional. bond would wreck elba in a heartbeat. now if that's _not_ what you meant then, as i stated before, you should have wrote "elba = bond"-- as if to say elba _is_ bond. this would imply that he has everything it takes to embody the character of james bond on screen.
He became an excellent fighter and maybe could’ve won the fight fair but I think that fight without the dive would’ve been a close one but you know it’s fake when he won bc the coach wasn’t too excited like he would be if his fighter won fair and that’s the journey he took and outcome
Staged as fuck a 50 odd year old bloke who gets a pasting of a 15 year old amateur in the gym is not beating a mike's gym professional glory kickboxer, no fuckin way. 100% paid. Mickey Rourke vs Idris Elba in Russia for the fixed fighting old man title next.
Only respect i'd give is he's obviously trained hard and put his body through punishment, real fighters put ourselves through all of our lives through surgeries, the ups and the downs so he felt that and still continued, so respect for the time he's put in. I'm sure he has a new respect for the reality of fight life, you're on your own and no-one sees the behind the scenes. However he has no respect from me for the fight as it was as staged as wrestlemania.
This promotes for false efforts, easy untrue shortcuts, and lots of immoral values, that if it is fixed or staged as most people suggests here. It is very satisfying to see him improve to such a stage eventually, and having a very true fight even with him losing will only inspire truthful minds, and would should everyone that the way to success is not easy, and certainly not taken with shortcuts.
I understand he wanted to try something new, he could've seriously gotten hurt. Luckily, he fought a bum. I mean, Idris is stinking rich. He has nothing to prove to no one?? He owes no one anything. Absolutely nothing. So it makes no sense to me, at his age to now decide to fight. Go make your movies and enjoy your life. At his age, he's really putting his life in danger and for what?? Anyways, mad respect for stepping in that ring (even tho I disagree) nonetheless, MAD RESPECT!
have you ever seen a fight that ends in a K.O. where you don't actually see the K.O. and there's no slow mo replay? Discovery channel know how to film and did 7 episodes. something seems dodgy. plus dude on canvas didn't seem that hurt or fussed.
@@obadiahstane2057 i.e he has no knockout power, for those who dont know what that means. Let me further clarify, he looks like he can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, and here he is putting down a professional.
@@godchilds5015 Well, since most people cant fight at all, he is already above average lol. Besides, he is 40+ yrs old, and only had 10 months of training, so his skill level is about where it should be
....how does someone become an overrated actor? It's either you can act well, or you cant. If a lot of people feel he can act well, then that's the end of it if Im not mistaken lol. Not sure how someone can overrate him
I'm pretty sure the fight was staged. Come on his opponent was a professional fighter with a bunch of wins already and clever editing ensures you can't see the moment of impact of that knockout punch... Still a great show though.
for everyone who says it staged or a fix, watch the full version. It was a thundering knee to his stomach that put him down, maybe he could of got up, but the knee was terrible. lion heart idris
kick boxers don't get dropped with knees like that, that was bullshit
kojo wireko it was a well placed knee but for dude to have won 10 straight before that match, i call bs, & ima 100% Idris fan but nah pimp lol
That makes sense, his legs and arms might've been fine but if his core was messed up then he wouldn't have been able to get up. Plus, let's be honest, no way in hell was that guy in proper fighting shape. He underestimated Idris and paid for it.
doesn't matter if your a god dam professional boxer, if you get knee'd to your solar plexus at the wrong time. Your going down without any breath. kickboxer or not.
I used to fight. If you've never taken body shots like that, you talk with your mouth rather than your experience.
Mad respect to Idris for taking this challenge on, but that kinda looked like a dive. His opponent could have beaten that count.
100% it was a dive.
Charles Goodwin 1000% dive but money rules the world lol
yeah, i was over here getting all inspired, then i realized that fucker is probably getting cashed out to lose, and sure enough it looks like a fucking dive. lmao
i agree though mad respect he still went through all the sparring, etc
conskimask yea same here
Idris is a legend
That was impressive! Actor turned Fighter! Then he wins, Great job Mr. Elba!
ahhh man. it was such a good series. if it wasn't for the obvious dive...
rather would see him lose even if i do like the dude
ya me too I think the first fight was more realistic I wouldn't mind if he had lost if he had gave it his all but how I'm the hell is this guy professional if he looses to a 44 year old amateur with 10 months of training? a lucky hit I understand but a count out? I smells bs
lol real life my ass, super fake ko
Amazing heart! And without shin protection! Much respect for Idris
i hope Elba didn't know about the dive, and it was planned by his agent or the show runners.
He forgot about the fux when the flush punches to his face were flying in.
He’s on of my favorite people. Phenomenal actor.
they didn't show the hit cos they want you to watch the show mate.
was that just a shity angle or was that fake
I was there. You can't see from that angle, but Idris gets a knee into the solar plexus and as Lionel is going down he catches him with a right hook.
You were there? So was it a dive or did Idris actually beat that guy?
Why the fuck don't they show it right. Anyone have a link to the full fight?
Not me. Check the Discovery UK channel/site that posted this.
I imagine if he took it up in teens or early twenties he would of been a monster !
Good for him.atleast he experience the training and learn form the best.Golden experience!Its never too late to start now🤙🤙
For this being his first fight in over twenty years, I give him props for even attempting it.
Dee Wynn hehe yea
I'd be embarrassed bout that if I was Elba.... they couldn't sell that ever thats why no one heard about this..
When Idris hit him with that knee, it was a wrap like scooby snacks.
And who said he couldnt switch to kickboxing
Amazing Idriss Elba
Someone needs to put all the best bit videos together in one
legend
100 grand is probly alought for a pro kickboxer but idris put in the work and fought still more then other people do
As someone who has been watching combat my whole life from kung fu movies as a child to watching ufc and mma for over 20 years, that was a dive and i went straight to comments to see if it was a real bout or not being they saying it is. Im no fool but still Idris moves well.

Why don't they show the knockout? And watch how fast buddy gets up after the 10 count!
That's exactly what I was thinking. He got up as soon as the referee said 10.
Congrats to Idriss Elba for winning his first professional fight
Exactly like in the movies! It's almost as if he were an actor lol
idris is a certified bad boy regardless of what people say loool
Discovery recorded his journey all the way upto his first pro match. However, they didnt even show clearly his knockout which must be the MOST important part of the video. Right? Please stop faking out people its unrespectful for the MMA community.
It was kickboxing. Not MMA. I'm going to watch the full episode before I have an opinion though. Apparently it shows the shot clearly.
First of all, MMA means Mixed Martial Arts which includes Kickboxing also. I still believe it doesnt show clearly at all. If it was they would replay it. Plus if you ever watch a kickboxing game, when the guys knocked out they dont act like this dude checking around on the mat with full conciseness. It is clearly fake and he was a bad actor.
woaaaaah Idris Elba even had Tyrone Spong in his corner !
That looks suspiciously like a worked fight. The fact that they don't show the actual KO shot is telling. If it was legit we would have seen 8 ultra slow-mo replays of his fist/knee/elbow/whatever connecting.
Did you notice him wave Idris forward for the end? Total fix.
And the guy waited for the referee to count till 10. As soon as the referee said 10, he got up all by himself. 🤡
THE BEST FKN FIGHT IVE EVER SEEN MY BABY DID IT OMG 💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥 so proud he held his ground 💯💪 #IdrisElba
Wow he did it 👏🏽🙌🏽
People that are saying he could have beaten the count dont know shit about fighting.. you dont know how hurt the guy was, those knees were deadly
next against rico verhoeven?
im skeptical
dont mess up that gorgeous face
Idris is a beast bodybuilder
where can I watch full episodes???
Octavio Diaz Salas I'm guessing Discovery Channel. Check the name of this channel, man...
octavods ,
Yep, yet again they don't show the finishing blow. I'm guessing it was faked. Also, the guy gets up straight away after the 10 count and looked normal? lol. 100% thrown/faked.
He has my name and my name is rare as hell. I am surprised 😆
I haven't seen the series, where can i watch it?
You can't find the finish at all on the internet
respect
Elba > Bond
I think you mean "Elba = Bond". What you wrote is basically "Elba is greater than Bond", which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Actually, it (Elba > Bond) makes a whole lot of sense. For months, people have indicated that Elba cannot play Bond because he's not qualified. He clearly is and no even just as an actor. Most actors that played Bond in the past can't or won't do what he's doing off screen.
it doesn't. i'm not debating if he's worthy of playing bond, because i agree that he his. you're wording is incorrect though as it doesn't make sense.
the way you've worded this is as if you've compared elba to bond (a fictional character, which in itself is already a flawed comparison) and conclude that elba is greater than bond. how does this make sense? if you honestly think this actor who is learning kickboxing could somehow be better than james bond is delusional. bond would wreck elba in a heartbeat.

Yeah that makes sense its like saying Elba>Batman lmao . Batman would easy beat the shit out of Elba lmao.
Is there nothing this man doesn't look good doing?
yes,, winning fair and square.. cos i sure as hell didnt see it in the final round.
He became an excellent fighter and maybe could’ve won the fight fair but I think that fight without the dive would’ve been a close one but you know it’s fake when he won bc the coach wasn’t too excited like he would be if his fighter won fair and that’s the journey he took and outcome
i'm happy he won I was pretty sure he was gonna lose lol
Its all fake you stupid lol
it was a dive the dude did want to fight him anymore so he took a dive cause idris was hurting him frfr
and they didn’t record the knockout blow ?! Did it look that fake that they decided to edit it out ?
Dive or not, would not have gone through what Idris did to reach this fight. I am too fucking lazy.
why do i feel like this is a trailer or promo of some sort
You cant lose with Tyrone spong in your corner :D
is this wwe?
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you genuinely trained for so long to pay someone to take a dive, all that work for nothing.

GBDazzler need to see your fights in the ring.... Couldn't just say "well done" could you?

Why staged, that other guy looks like he eats fries everyday while playing with his belly fat instead of training.
didnt they mention at the start that idris was trained for 12 months?
If your fighting in glory out of mikes gym as a pro you'll be good.
yeah right...lmao

how was he a bum the guy was 10-0 before this fight

DIVE
this looks lie he let him win for sure but he idres did great
Idris is hot
How can you have a buildup like that and not get the shot of the actual KO hit. Smh disappointed
idris. A genuine loss or win would have been epic, either way brother either way, lost me as a fan.
I'm sorry but I can tell Idris hasn't mastered punching or kicking yet.
You don't say

Is this real
was it faked did he stay down to make the series look good
I give him all my respect for going thru all the training, but he is no fighter and that was a dive. Sorry,

Paid fight...
staged fight :)
looked like a dive =/ oh well
WTF WASTE OF TIME
That was great and all but stay out of the ring. He's a professional actor not kickboxer. It's good he did it but he shouldn't be in the ring.

That's sh-t was so fucking fake😬 they paid the other kickboxer off😭 💯 dive😒
what? that was super fake
