麦克维KO松田

在摔跤手和前锋之间的混合风格比赛中, 俗话说，一旦摔跤手接触到前锋, 战斗结束了. 在摔跤手或格斗手与拳击手之间的大多数混合风格比赛中, 缠斗者通常将前锋拖倒在地后获胜.

雷·斯蒂尔击败莱文斯基. “柔道”吉恩·勒贝尔击败米洛·萨维奇. In modern times, Randy Couture defeated James “Lights Out” Toney.

然而, all fights start on their feet. Nate Marquardt knocked out Damian Maia within twenty seconds of the first round of their fight. Sam McVea pulled off a similar feat on New Year’s Eve 1908 in Paris, France.

McVea was one of the greatest boxers of the early 20th century. 然而, Sam McVea was African American, which prevented McVea from boxing for the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship. Boxing promoters forced McVea to fight other great Black boxers.

Tired of the discrimination in the United States, McVea fought in France, where American performers like Josephine Baker found the French public treated African Americans better the American public. While McVea boxed in France, McVea accepted a mixed styles fight with a jiu jitsu fighter named Tano Matsuda.

Promoters billed Matsuda as the undefeated Japanese jiu jitsu champion. 然而, Matsuda was an English jiu jitsu student of Mitsuyo Maeda, Yuki Tano, or Taro Miyake. Matsuda had only trained in jiu jitsu for a couple of years. Matsuda should have studied longer.

McVea entered the ring with boxing gloves on. Matsuda wore a traditional jiu jitsu gi. At the opening bell, McVea unleashed a left hook that deposited Matsuda on the mat in a heap.

The rules allowed McVea to strike on the ground, so McVea punched Matsuda, who was lying on the ground in the fetal position. The referee stopped the bout before McVea could do any more damage to the helpless Matsuda.

The fans booed the promoters for booking an obvious mismatch between a world class boxer and amateur jiu jitsu fighter. The fans did not take it out on McVea, fortunately.

McVea continued fighting in France before traveling to Australia in 1911, where McVea boxed for three years. McVea returned to the United States in 1914.

McVea died at the tragically young age of thirty-seven years old on December 23, 1921 after a bad case of pneumonia.
