Good luck to him. I don`t remember Mo being seriously hurt by anyone`s punches in K1 so maybe he`ll actually make a name for himself in boxing.

Fuck, I wish he was still in K-1. Always exciting with him in the ring.

Siala Mighty Mo Siliga has been one of the K-1 organizations premier kickboxers for a number of years, known for his knockout power and exciting style while competing against the best the sport has to offer. Siliga retired from kickboxing after a knockout win over former World Boxing Champion Francois Botha.
Oh yes and let's convieniently forget the kneewrenching asswhooping by Aerts :).

Good for him, but really he is a poor, poor man's Tua and is not going anywhere in the Heavyweight boxing division.

Well, it wouldn`t have sounded so impressive to say:

I thought during the Aerts fight Mo had a previous injury on that knee? I'm not saying he was winning but a lot of people seem to forget about it. It wasn't the knee that Aerts was hitting nearly as much that went out.

So aparently Mighty Mo lost his debut match against Lamar Stephens by JD after 6 rounds. I think he`ll come to regret his old K1 glory days.

K-1 would probably take him back, but I would think Mo is happy earning the big $$ and being able to walk around without a problem the next day anyway.

I wonder how bad his knee was after the Aerts fight? Wonder if it was bad enough that it factored into his choice to go to boxing??

im almost positive he was either fucked with mentally from that fight, or physically fucked with. i dunno though. i think he will be back if he keeps doing lackluster in boxing. i think he likes winning and being a winner for his family. k1 will pick him back up for las vegas. from there its upto him to win.

I saw a video of the boxing match, and it appeared that he fractured his jaw or something. Can somebody confirm this?

It was mentioned pretty often on sherdog, because in an after fight video Mo asked if his jaw was broken and the doctor was like "yup", but it's nothing official.
