Let me start off by saying that i'm a lifelong boxing fan at heart, but I am also a fan of mma. Now if you feel that mma/ufc is all about skilless brawling, then I would have to suggest u tone in tonight to see Anderson Silva in action. He is considered one of the top mma artists in the world.
Lets not let this turn into a ufc bash thread. I'm just curious to know if any posters here who appreciate highly skilled mma artists are tuning in tonight. Its suppose to be a great fight card with guaranteed action. :boxing:
Already watched the top rank fox sports card (not really that bad but I didn't know any of the fighters which definitely took away from my interest) and there's nothing else on that I really care about. For anyone looking for a stream download TVU player and search for ufc or the username ememaye. He usually streams all the UFC fights and never gets shut down.
That I understand. I'm referring to certain boxing fans/mma haters who try to discredit MMA by stating how boxers make more money than UFC fighters, and how Dana White is robbing the fighters. To be honest, if boxing followed the same blueprint as UFC, it would be a much better sport. Especially for us fans. Now as stated in my first post, i'm a boxing fan before anything else, but it can be VERY frustrating being a fan at the same time. Now there's plenty of ways to bash mma/ufc, but one thing is for sure......those are some happy ass fans! They get the fights that are suppose to happen, and the best fight the best.
I feel the same way bro. I ordered the ufc tonight. First time ever. I have buddies coming over. The ufc fans are definitely more loud. As a boxing fan it makes me sad but like they say. "It always has to hit drop bottom before it starts getting better". It's to bad the money hungry promters are ruining the sport.
I refuse to support ufc because of Joe Rogan and Dana White they can say they are boxing fans and love boxing blah blah blah but they **** on it every chance they get and they want to see Boxing fail miserably.
I'm actually a boxing fan first and foremost. The sad truth is, boxing has been going down the tubes the past few yrs. Its hard to defend the indefensible. From multible abc champs per weight class, the best not fighting the best, greedy fighters and promoters not willing to fight unless paid a gazillion dollars, corruption, fighters taking low risk/high reward fights, etc....
Boxing needs some serious restructuring.
The UFC has put out plenty of crap cards recently and it swindles its fans with monthly PPVs. This is a good PPV however, but i'm still not paying.
Boxing has been doing good the last three years, take your add campaign back to sherdog.
I only watch UFC is theres a fighter I really like. Silve is one of those fighters. He has amazing ability and heart. Belfort is a good fighter. This is gonna be a great fight. I dont really care about the other fights on the card to be honest.
yeah, Im watching at a friend's house. I never pay for UFC. But, I wouldnt call it skilless. Not as technical as boxing, but they are 2 very different dynamics. Those different submissions and BJJ stuff isn't skilless, very difficult to do. But, BOXING WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORTIE.
No, you're just being a delusional MMA fan. Boxing put on some of the best fights ever last year, this year is going to be good too.
But keep watching 2 guys with tribal tats hug eachother on the ground

You're right...boxing did and has been putting good fights lately.But what fight have we all been waiting to see for what seems like ages now and still hasn't happened?This year would have started off well enough if alexander didn't quit.
In reality, boxing as a whole from the fighters all the way up to the networks are doing a pretty good job of thrashing itself.

anderson silva got K.o'd in boxing by a guy that would be mopping floors at my gym. Im not even a boxer just a hobbyist and id grab my nuts then slap the **** out of anderson, he has terrible hands.
The standup in MMA is a joke, the whole sports a joke. Its just grapplers trying to pretend they can fight.
hahaha.your whole statement is a joke.silva would not just be trying to punch you.he'd be kicking, kneeing, elbowing you.Yea he does have bad hands according to boxing standards, but the last time i checked he's an MMA fighter who specializes in muay thai and jiu-jitsu.
$49 to watch a bunch of bums that can't throw a punch fight? no thanks
btw dana white is glad you guys are paying for his org that is activy trying to bring down boxing and trashes boxing every chance he gets. suckers.....
