Georges St-Pierre on Anderson Silva
Georges St-Pierre missed an opportunity to compete in a boxing match against Oscar De La Hoya and now that his former colleague Anderson Silva has displayed what MMA fighters can do in the boxing ring, he is really motivated.
Silva dominated former WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. back in June, he displayed incredible striking and left the whole MMA community in awe.
GSP was very moved by Silva’s performance. He praised Silva in his recent interview with The MMA Hour, he said, “Bro, it was one of his best performances in life — I would say among the rest of his elite performances that he did in MMA. “
He added, “To me, the way he beat César Chávez, it was incredible. And I was under the impression before the fight that César Chávez would dominate him because of his boxing experience. Man, he took everybody by surprise. It was very inspiring to him perform that way. It was very, very inspiring.”
“I think it’s a good fight,” Georges St-Pierre weighs down on Anderson Silva vs Tito Ortiz
GSP said this fight provided a much-needed win for Silva’s legacy, and he should compete in more such matches. He said, “And what a great ending for Anderson Silva right now. I hope if he comes back into these kinds of fights, it will be something worth it. Not only about money, but in terms of legacy — something that, it will make him shine, make him look good. Because, man, if you check his last performance against Uriah Hall, it was kind of disappointing, it was kind of sad. But what a way to come back. What a way to get back on top. Man, that was amazing.”
GSP believes Silva will have an edge in his fight against Tito Ortiz, “I think it’s a good fight,” St-Pierre said. “It could be a good fight for Anderson Silva, because he’s more into his field of expertise.”
