It takes years for fighters to get where they are, 6 months is nothing. Much respect to him. Takes a lot of guts to step in the ring and he did it in that age and within only 6 months.

Pretty impressive for a guy his age to go into Kickboxing. Looks like he's not doing half bad for a 44 year old either.

Facts

Big respect to Idris. I am an ex very average amateur boxer. From SA. To spar with guys like Francois Botha is no joke. And the kalakoda family are legendary. As a 52 year old who still spars and does the odd baby fight. Competing with father time is also no joke.

Elba is a Beast and takes a lot of balls to enter this game and get in the ring. But these skills take years to develop, and facing a high level guy that does not hold back, he might get "lit up like a Christmas tree". Best of luck mate.

It hurts my heart to see Idris get hurt! But I am soooooo proud of him! Keep pushing Dris! You can do this!!!!

Bro, Im loving this!! WAR ELBA!!! Pain is temporary, Pride is forever!!!

Keep in mind Idris doesn't need to do this, but his doing it

keep it up dude. we can see the hard work you are putting in and your improvement. tons of respect. good job keep it up. there is no greater sin than a man not finding his body's true potential. you are inspiring

Oh my god. How can I sleep now,seeing this man so. I am very excited,oh....

They really threw him in at the deep end. He aint got no business sparring Olympians and ex heavy weight champs. Sure it makes for great tv, but he's pushing himself harder than he needs to.

He's doing better than I thought. They need to cast him as John Stewart (Green Lantern)

Oh my god, I'm imagining how much of a beast Idris would be after this. We need the John Wick directors to get him his franchis after this holy shit

putting him in his first match against a guy with so much experience is unrealisitc and stupid. real fighters are pitted against opponents of similar status. they should have matched him against another inexperienced guy. maybe they were afraid he would lose against a beginner. but nobody expects him to win the first time around anyway. he lost that fight but theres nothing to be ashamed of. it takes courage to go into a ring against another fighter. most likely they matched him up against that guy because he could control himself more than a newcomer and not hurt idris.

the control and not hurt him part is more likely to be the reason than the protect his ego part

Lawrence kenshin studied the boxer featured in this episode. he's a really tough guy and hits like 12 gauge. idris is lucky he took it easy on him, what a good guy he is .

idris genial.

Does anyone else find it weird that they're lettting Idris spar with pros without any protective headgear? Idris looks pretty badass, but he's still an amateur.

They're pro's. I'd be more concerned about him sparring intermediate amateurs with headgear than sparring pro's without headgear. The pro's have no ego and nothing to prove by knocking out the big actor. They can go in there as professionals and give Elba the work he needs to improve. There's a reason they call them sparring partners and not sparring opponents. I would trust real pros to take care of Elba.

I like how he went and trained in Cuba

You can. I started fighting Muay Thai in London at 47 for KO Gym East and now I fight out of Diesel MMA Gym. I did just like Idris. Gassed in the first round of my first amateur fight, struggled thru the second round but I was TKO's in the third. I'm still an amateur because unlike Idris I have a day job. Just knowing that you are doing something that most men will not do is awesome. The friends you make (all half my age) are great as well. The respect you will receive from other fighters, friends and family is unmatched.
