Joe Rogan "Boxing is being swallowed"

The best and most exciting part of MMA?Yeah they're not being showcased properly. Why? If you want boxing to be popular in years to come, wouldn't you want to promote new talent as much as possible with established talent?
And I don't know about you, but I find critical fans more refreshing then those who blindly follow. If it takes a sound thrashing from it's fans to make it change, so be it.
Hell, if it weren't for critical fans, MMA wouldn't have been around.
Are we talking striking, grappling or all around work? We come in three flavors.
Hi.
Now you know one person.
And don't be afraid to ask who's hot. I'd be glad to help.

I prefer strikers as well, but wrestling/grappling is part of "real fighting."I like strikers--kickboxing, boxing, mau thai or whatever, I just laugh at the cowards that have to take a man down to punch them, or get them in a position where they can submit them and then talk **** like they're more of a man than a person that puts on a boxing gloves and takes punishment that may cause them brain damage down the line.
I care less for grapplers.
Some of the biggest names in ancient times were wrestlers like the legend Milo of Croton.
Wrestling is an honorable sport that demonstrates a Man's strength, agility, determination, and stamina.
Fighting is about Winning, and you do what you need to do to WIN. If you do not learn how to wrestle/grapple you are hurting your chances just like if a wrestler does not learn how to strike.
This is also why I like kickboxers because they do not just use just their hands, they use their legs as weapons, weapons that "nature" provided you with.
And are you really going to call this man a *****?

Very true. I've tried watching MMA a few times, but most of it was two men in speedos lying on top of each other not doing much. I must have a different view of excitement than most people because that wasn't exciting for me. When they finally do manage to land a good shot (which is usually a wild hook) the fights lasts for another 3 seconds and is done. There really isn't much total excitement. Why is it that they're doing soooo great yet constantly need to try getting boxers to fight in their sport?Comment

I DEFINETLY agree with this.
UFC is so fast rising because the sport is so conistantly entertaining.
Sure, a few fights are gonna stray here and there, but 90% of the fights are very good.
But with that consistancy comes the inablility to really create an AMAZING fight.
Boxing has the ability have AMAZING AMAZING fights, but with that ability comes the fact that about 40% of fights are boring or worse.Comment
