Did anyone else watch the UFC tonight, great card. Not trying to start any Boxing vs UFC rivalry shit, that's all money, PPV competition & politics bullshit. Just wanna know if anyone watched the fights tonight, Wanderlei and BJ brought some HEAT!!!
Naw you might watch MMA but you aint a real fan...
Also UFC not doing things right? ahahahaah
Well shit look at the Big time Celebs they have every fight! They have all the hot young actresses like mandy moore, and hot porn chicks, and all the reality it girls there!
They must be doing something right! You will never ever see a hot young actress follow say a boxing match either then oscar delahoyas fights...the only time celebs go to boxing matches is when they get free invites or are being paid to go.
That's the first sign of the UFC being a trendy sport, do you think Mandy Moore is a fan of the UFC. They are just there because it's the trendy thing to do, they don't give a shit about mma they're just there to be seen.
And yesterdays matches were ok nothing spectacular, we saw BJ Penn trying to be a boxer and looking somewhat good, he was afterall fighting Sean Shreck. The silva ko was just a sloppy haymaker fest. The Ortiz fight was just plain boring and the other fights were ok exept for that Sokoju fight that right hook was wicked. But on any given day I much rather watch boxing.

That is essentially the problem among other things.
I havent seen the fight so I cant comment on their standup. I do know that Penn is one of the best fighters in MMA though so it doesnt surprise me that he looked good on his feet.
The funny thing is you guys feel intimidated by UFC...and gettin mad at us...but the thing is everyone in this thread who enjoys ufc also enjoys boxing and wouldnt give boxing up for the world...Because we happen to be fans of both...is that wrong?
WE love BOTH!
Domain you're a troll though. You love UFC and like boxing. 90% of your posts are indirectly hyping UFC, and you act like it's not noticable.
I literally cant stand when you do that shit.
i was force to watch it because there was nothing else...the last fight was good because they were trowing punches and they were trowing good jabs.
and there was another one..but the rest were shit and i was about to sleep since spinks-taylor.
That's a Japanese style stoppage right there.
The worst example of it that I've seen is this Sakuraba fight. It is is amazing that Sakuraba came back and beat the guy but only with a LITTLE help from the referee... Sickening.
I seriously think the Japanese people want to see him die in the ring, he should have retired after losing to Schembri and Silva back to back. He's going to end up like Bobby Chacon, I guess he's fighting Manhoef next wtf? did you watch that last inside MMA? Gary Goodridge was on there and he was slurring really bad, alot of these guys are going to in for a rude awakening.
See what I mean.. this shit don't belong in NSB..
Did you seriously expect any of us to post something productive about a sport we don't watch or like?
What was the purpose of this thread??
You knew right away that posting this in here would get this exact same results.
I rematched the Frye vs Thompson fight the other day, it has to be one of the worst stoppages in the history of combat sports. Frye takes about 50 unnecessary punches, talk about an old fashioned beating.

Which is why I mentioned them - to point you in that direction if you're looking for good boxers in MMA. Those two actually fought several years ago in what was almost a pure boxing match, which would be my foremost recommendation.
You also probably heard Pulver's name dropped a lot last night, as they were promoting his fight with Faber (who will destroy him, alas).
Yeah, I appreciate that. I didn't mean it that way if I came off snarky.
it may not be what the casuall mma fan likes...but Sad to Say Bj Penn and Sean Sherk made Hatton and lazcanos boxing skills look sub par compared to there stand up battle...penns jab would of made emmanuel steward proud...if sean sherk did more bobbin and weaving and getting in close he could of did more damage...it was very technical boxing to be honest.
Hatton looks amatuerish compared to those guys he came in with his face and chin up and throwing and upper cut or leaping uppercuts and getting countered all night by a lazy check hook from lazcano.
Hatton showed much better wrestling skills them guys.
BJ's and Sherks stand up is average at best. If it was any good or as good as what you say they would be in boxing. Instead Sherk is in MMA making $14,000 gurantees and begging Money Mayweather to come and fight him.
That Wanderlei gif. is a good one.

That's why I qualified it by saying who I have seen. I've heard of Pulver but don't remember seeing him.

you are a Fraud....
You are not a Fan of both man...cause you defend Boxing more instead of defending both as you can see here you are bashing...and even bashed the machida fight.
I'm not a fan of both?
I have a Sherdog account since 2002, I have been a pretty hardcore fan of MMA since around 1996. Just because I don't agree with you about all that 16-35 white demographic you love to brag MMA attracts, I'm not bashing MMA. I'm not a fan of the way the UFC is run and the way they treat their fighters, you might not understand that but I'm a fan of fighters and fights not promoters and brands.
The Machida fight was not great, it was very dull the first two rounds, nothing happend till the 3rd round.
Wink Wink
That Wanderlei gif. is a good one.
if u think boxing is gay then wtf u doing here??
Never said it was gay but maybe you shouldn't talk about another sport being gay when you have moments like this in boxing...

:lol1:
he's gay.............
Look we are talking about two combat sports where the objective is to hurt the other guy, there is nothing 'gay' about it except perhaps to your insecure self.

Highlight and his boxing record: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=256828&cat=boxer
He is fighting Urijah Faber next in WEC, should be a good fight with two of the best 145 lb fighters against each other.
Sergei Kharitonov is a good boxer (for MMA) with some amateur boxing experience, as are the Emelianenko brothers.
no Buddy you are the one who is a troll
Sherk and penn displayed better boxing then hatton!
Hatton was lunging with his face and chin up first with the same shit he pulled on mayweatrher which got him caught by a checkhook.
Penn and sherk showed the effectiveness of boxing...penns jab,,,,hatton has no jab...I can go on and on.
And sherk has textbook boxing just short arms his hands were up in the proper position and he was trying to put together combos.
The sad thing is you actually believe that.
Just when I thought you could not say anything dumber, you prove that your ignorance is limitless.
who gives a fuck about UFC. This is NON STOP BOXING
There's a little section for that shit for a reason...I AGREE SO GET THE HELL OUTA HERE...PLEASE MODERATOR PUT THIS WHERE IT BELONGS.............IN THE GARBAGE SECTION:nonono:
