    Reasons Why many people are Liking MMA over Boxing...

    Knockouts....faster knockouts...and most fights ending instead of going to decision.

    alot of times in boxing the fight can get a lull because of too much clinching or too much running.

    in mma alot of fights are like gatti vs ward...action packed and non stop.

    what can boxing do as a whole to improve the excitment? with only a small handful of exciting fighters out in boxing and all of them are in the lower weights and americans dont watch lower weights.

    Also Open scoring is bad...get rid of that open scoring crap.

        yea, boxing is not dying and will never die. The only downside of boxing these days is the condition of the heavyweight division.

          Most of mma stand up fights look like bar brawls, not much grace or skill. And their knockouts simply dont look as vicious or as dramatic as in boxing.

            also there's a lot more competitive matches whereas in boxing there are way too many mismatches

              How is that the only problem?

              After watching a fight like Augustus v.s. Burton wouldn't you be asking questions? That was the most shocking thing I've ever seen.

                You have to be smoking crack. In MMA most fights are "fought" 90% on the ground and it's one guy on top of the other while one throws pitty pat punches to the other's ribs or head.

                If a fight is exciting in MMA it's because it's fought standing up, trading punches, and if that's what you like then it makes much more sense to watch boxing, since the guys are much more active, throw more punches and withstand more punishment.

                The reason it's so popular now is because it has the WWE audience, which is people who don't watch boxing and don't care for contact sports or sports in general, they want theatrics, hype, and a show. That's what MMA is - an overblown, overhyped, and overpromoted exhibition of people fighting each other. No one who wants to see a good exhibition of boxing, wrestling and/or Martial Arts gives a **** about MMA.
