Why do we have MMA section. When MMA sites don't have boxing section. Why would you let your competition into your house?

Not all sports are as insecure as boxing... the biggest MMA website has forums for all combat sports.
As an aside, anyone who thinks boxers have even close to a 50/50 chance in an mma bout vs a similar level of mma fighter is a retard nd is not worth responding to.
Lyoto Machida/Tito Ortiz was pretty boring and technical.
I really enjoyed that fight - superb, humiliating skill from Machida reminiscant of PBF and some drama at the end.
Penn/Sherk was won easily by Penn with the *gasp* jab.
Yeah, a flying knee jab. Nice.
Sean Sherk showed the world how not to box.
Yeah, a wrestler on his feet is a fish out of water.
It was just 20 minutes of jabbing sherks face. Hatton fight was 100 x better in my opinion.
No it was 15 minutes of that then a friggin' awesome flying knee which was more aestetically pleasing than anything in the Hatton fight.
Boxing is better because it is closer to real life combat. You don't see real fights where the aggresor uses something other than punches to the front of the head and torso, so why bother using anything else in a sport? Also, it is boring to have to guess what tactics a fighter will use - it is more than enough fun to try to guess whether his punches will be aimed at the body, face, or possibly even the nose.
That line made me sick to my stomach. fucking bullshit.
Maybe mayweather should do the boxing vs mma thing and destroy those fools.
Someone's gotta do it.
Ur... :ugh:
Isn't that a bit like saying David Beckham should go do the Soccer vs Football thing and destroy these fools?
No - nobody's 'got to do it' because anyone who knows the sports knows exactly what would hapen.
That line is 100% correct.
the main reason the sport is differentiated from UFC and wrestling and the other attempts to go back to roman gladiator days is that brute force is not the primary factor. Skill and intelligence and the preservation of the individual is primary.
What a load of crap.
There is a lot of skill, intelligence, preservation of the individual (wtf? Do you mean defence?) in mma (that's what people who know what the fuck they're talking about call UFC) and wrestling.
