The boxing punch machine is a very interesting instrument to measure the power of fists. It can be found in clubs and sports bars. Folks really enjoy it because it has an exciting aspect attached to it. Similar to a speed bag, there is one small bag that a person has to hit and it measures the power numerically.

Interestingly, this process of hitting the punching machine witnesses several powerful punchers in day-to-day life. Along with that, the failures sometimes result in hilarious incidents. There are several videos like that on the internet but the recent video that popped up on social media platforms is a rage.

The clip showed an old man failing miserably at the punch machine. Of course, he tried to punch it hard but aging reflexes betrayed him. He punched the bag with a right hook and it missed which imbalanced his body weight. Unable to maintain his balance, he fell to the ground hitting his head on the machine. No doubt, it would have injured him.

The previous opponent he defeated is Anderson Silva, the former UFC middleweight champion, aged 47.

Though he is widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time, he was very old when fought Paul. Jake is 25, and he fought an ageing Silva who is way past his prime.

In the fight, the age difference was quite visible. Silva was comparatively slow and weak. In his heydays, he used to win fights despite taking a lot of punishment from his opponent. But in this fight, Paul dropped him with one straight punch in the eighth round. Recalling this, the fan made this remark.

Another fan recalled Mike Tyson’s fight against Bruce Seldon. The latter was defeated in the first round after several knockdowns. This fight is famous because Sheldon got floored for the first time without taking a lethal shot. With a mere touch of hook, he fell on the floor.
