Why do you prefer Boxing over MMA or any other sport

Something to me is missing with MMA. It just doesn't evoke any hype or emotion from me. And truly it's just a utterly boring sport when competed with at the highest level. This explains how I feel. Something just doesn't hit with me and UFC. It might be the crappy production? Everyone screaming all the time is just annoying. I can't name 3 UFC fighters to be honest. I just don't find it interesting.

MMA is sloppy as ****.. Talent pool sucks. Might be good in 30 years though. PLUS wrestling sucks!

MMA is like the decathlon. Boxing is like sprinting. The boxer is great at what he does like a sprinter is good at running. While the MMA fighter can box a lil and do everything else it takes to compete in MMA at a fairly reasonable level. The way a decathlete is good but not great at every track and field event. Btw, in the Olympics, the decathlete is known as the superior overall athlete compared to the others.

There's nothing that compares to a big fight in boxing IMO. It's the most aesthetically pleasing sport to me. The actual action usually entertains me as well, a fight has to really, really suck for me to not get any enjoyment out of it. The strategy, the danger, the differing styles, the one on one aspect, it's the best sport in the world. If any other sport had the problems boxing did with promoters and the best avoiding the best, it would have died long ago. That boxing survives to this day is only because of the enjoyment it provides that nothing else can.

Because most boxers don't fight like a couple of drunks.

MMA is not a sport.

This is what I don't understand about the MMA people they love it when their guys go toe to toe well What are they doing they're boxing. No body wants to see guys in underwear grabbing each others crotch. Boxing can be more blood thirst if they wore 5 oz gloves but boxers wouldn't be able to fight no longer than 5 years if they did

Hahah that was awesome. But like another poster said, boxing evokes emotion with me more than any other sport. You really get invested in the fighters. It's great. It also brings my family and friends together to hang out, eat good carne asada, and enjoy some fights. Agreed. Especially those few seconds right before the bell is about to ring. Heart rate goes nuts.

What do you mean by "mma or other sports"?! There's only one sport

Big Fan Of BOTH and I have no problem admitting it. A lot of the young fans get into this MMA vs Boxing Crap and most of them don't know sh1t about either sport I respect both sport and the guys who do it for a living because it takes HARD WORK to be successful at it. I just been watching Longer and see boxing grow and its rich History. MMA is still growing, haven't had those Historical Moments in their sport yet That's my bad. I should have worded my post a lot differently. I don't want to compare them to each other. I'm looking for why do you prefer boxing.

boxing is the woman i love, mma is the woman who i fked on the side and was excited about her but i got tired of her after 3 months... the head was good tho i still think about it.

Too much on the ground wrestling in MMA. I'd rather watch WWE if there gonna wrestle. Now when MMA fighters come to fight. Like, Condit, Velasquez, Hendricks, Henderson, Melendez, etc. that is when MMA is brilliant, and great. Jus like boxing when you have a clinch fest it's a dump.

Good question, maybe I'd enjoy MMA more if the sport had longer history (Let me finish) which would in turn make fighters more versatile and I don't have to waste time seeing them roll around the ground whilst doing nothing or displaying shitty striking skills. That's how I honestly feel. That's a good point. I never thought about the history of the sport compared to others.

Boxing and MMA are 2 different sports...I don't know why people feel the need to pick a side. Boxing is my favorite sport,but I'm a fight fan so I'll watch any combat sport. Nothing wrong with liking multiple sports or different combat sports. I just want to know why some prefer it over other sports. No sides, just an opinion. Also, the trashing of other sports is just for fun. I'm trying to keep the Floyd/Pac fans from going at each other in here.

Lol at boxing fans, Floyd fans and PAC fans. I love boxing more than MMA because I'm a bigger fan of hand to hand combat. The best MMA fights to me are the ones that the fight is fought mostly standing up. I like kickboxing a lil bit. I don't really watch wrestling or Jiu Jitsu too much but I can appreciate it being done in MMA. I actually think MMA is the real way to fight. Anything goes, well not anything but u know what i mean. Boxing is #1 but it's just punching at the end of the day. MMA includes punching, kicking, slamming, choking etc...... lol. I had to do it. I have tried to get into MMA, but I just can't. Guess I can't appreciate the caveman-like skills it takes to pound on someone when they are on the ground. I use to watch a little kickboxing, but never really followed it.
