Is it me or the boxing gods has been good to us? The last month and the first week of december is all about memorable and great fights.These fights were enough to beat mma damn! I think boxing is on the rise again while MMA is on or will be on a steady decline because of these fights! Ifonly the casual fans would now appreciate boxing more than the brokeback grappling on the mat mma crap!
Damn right it has. I can't believe I paid for UFC 124 last night 55$ for that jab fest when I could of paid free99 to watch Khan and Maidana on HBO. :(
This. I watched ufc and the khan fight, and for the hype GSP/Koschcheck had, it was lackluster. Sure, boxing got credit for being the winning factor, and we all know GSP was nuthugging Roach when he came by the show, but what a zzz fight none the less.
I'll tell you this: Last night after the Khan-Maidana fight, I immediately turned on the UFC event only to see two guys holding each other on the floor. The difference in skill was so apparent. In the MMA fight, the fighter had the other fighter on the floor and was throwing "hammer-fist." It was sloppy. Boxing is the sweet science. It's hit and don't get hit while MMA is hold and hit. After that fight was the main event and it was a one sided fight. The fighter with the Ronald McDonald hair couldn't defend against a straight jab and didn't know how to throw a punch and he was the #1 contender. I know in UFC they give fight of the night bonuses. They should mail that check to Khan and Maidana cause that was the best fight of the night.
This! I died laughing! your last two sentances I agree with.
The rest is epic though!
Doyouagree putting 3 words together without a space is totally awesome?
This! somone got owned!
And somebody said that labeling somebody(like me) as gay might be a gay too. What goes around comes around.ANd look at your avatar's name. Before you post here make a new account with a name like i_am_ellerbe or something.
This! no way goldenboy23 would let you skate with this lol.
I am a fan of both, but boxing is my passion and is first always. I respect MMA for what it is, and do not see it going anywhere. Although in my wildest most forbidden dreams I do wish arum to be right and wish it would vanish so we got ALL the fans from it, but that won't happen.
My roommates are all ufc fans so we argue all the time about it.
Boxing contributes to the sport but MMA strikers will never come within light years of a true pro boxer because a boxer dedicates himself to the art of punching and manuevering for it, whereas a MMA fighter can only incorporate so much into his already well rounded but full cup of technique. Where MMA fails me is that in the ufc anyway fighters become so well yet similarly rounded that it is monotonous. Ufc was awesome in the first few years where it was style against style. Now everyone is just "mma fighter" pretty much.
So I will stick to boxing for the most part. It is so funny to hear joe rogan be forced to praise boxing when he is so ground game biased, **** ufc lol.
I am a fan, but i critique it, it has lost most of its flavor.
Boxing > MMA if I could only choose one.
P.S. goldenboy your avatar is sexy and you speak with some common sense, green K for you.
She's a fine one alrite, wouldn't kick her outta the bed for eatin biscuits anyway. It's all good. Arguments on here are always fun nothin personal
I'm trying to post a response, but then i see your avatar and i forget what the heck i was about to say...
Kerr fits perfectly with "purrr." Hope i can get to meet that ***** cat here in my country. We gonna have a grand time together. Well thanks for that info golden boy.You ain't that bad either.You got some points here and there. Got infuriated when i thought you called me a homo. Momma won't like it, y'know.
And since you ask me a question i'll also ask you one. What's the name of that chick in your avatar? One of those metart models perhaps?
Oh sorry I was reading a previous post of yours and it didn't have quotations so I thought you meant you bought it. Guess not, confusing. The chick is Miranda Kerr, she's a victoria's secret angel i believe
It's been a great couple of months for boxing. I don't think boxing should compete or compare with UFC, the two can live quite happily without being direct competition with one another.
I am a big fan of both and I see them as apples and oranges. Why compare?
Legends? I haven't read any DP since last year of his books......
Fedor is the geatest Fighter ever......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPAnsAipqbk
You know the movie x-men legends wolverine.
That's your opinion, i'm not here to try change that. I'm simply defending a sport I like much like you probably would. Also can I ask if u think it's so gay or whatever, why'd you buy it last night?
I didn't bought it. I heard about it. You know internet is really useful nowadays. It's like great boobs sometimes it's gets ahead off everything.
Alright.But it wouldn't change my view that boxing is more intelligent,more unpredictable, more dramatic than ufc.
Their only edge? They don't have multiple governing bodies like boxing has but still they suck like homos sucks cock.

Nice Deadpool pic..... I like the Secret Avengers......
K1 is gonna take over in the near future....
Thanks. Though they made him look crap on legends.
I agree with you there, I even said in the previous post about Arum and B-Hop that there are idiots in the MMA world stiring the pot about MMA vs Boxing too but I just couldn't name them. I think ANYONE talking BS about MMA vs Boxing is just being stupid. I'm not talking about you or Boxing people i'm on about everyone.
I find the whole thing ridiculous when it's clear that Boxing has such a storied legacy and so many great athletes that it's never going anywhere. There's always going to be guys that people want to see fight even after Pac-Floyd. But MMA has established itself as a legitamate sport and every day it's gaining more notoriety in the mainstream media and it's not going anywhere either and people like you need to accept that and get over it

As far as i know this debate started when this mma fans and mma writers proclaimed mma as the next best thing and adding salt to injury that boxing is dead.
Now those recent fights screamed: "It's payback time!"
And now even before i made this thread i saw a lot of fans complaining about ufc on youtube boxing videos in reference to those great fights we just had. I wish i didn't spend my cash to that lame gsp rematch to the guy he already beat twice.
And so it fueled me the boxing gods have answered the injustices made by these sports writers saying boxing is dead and their fans gatecrashing on boxing forums talking about ufc even though it's a boxing forum just to disrespect.
And mma and boxing are closer than bradley compared to kobe. They're both combat sports. Your comparison is flawed.

Oh I know Hopkins was just **** talking or whatever but i'm saying it's these type of comments from known people in the business that gets the online warriors crying over MMA taking over.
I find it quite sad that people like TS need to bash such a great sport just because Boxing had a brief downfall when they could just spend there time discussing the sport they like instead
Ooooooopsy. There, it's lengthened.

I bashed it and i hope now you know why. Is the line made by sports ufc writers:"Boxing is dead" not bashing? Or was it just a form of freedom of speech? Which is which? You tel lme.
I wasn't specifically calling those two idiots although it may have looked like that. I was calling anyone who thinks there is some sort of Boxing vs MMA war an idiot. You cannot possibly justify saying Boxing is better than MMA when they are different sports. That's like saying Tom Brady is better than Kobe Bryant, makes no sense
