      put the defensive cuteys on the undercard.
      Umm, are you aware of how many boring UFC main events there have been?? The many times we've seen boxers settling for a jabbing competition, is the same if not more when the UFC fighters hug each other on the ground, **** ,my grandparents have more action goin' on in their bedroom than the UFC !!


      PROMOTERS & THE ABC ORGS ARE THE LONE PROBLEM!!! There will always be boring fights, whether it's the UFC or BOXING. DLH, the biggest PPV star has been involved in countless boring main events and yet, has proven he can make the most money in spite of many lackluster fights . As a fan, I do yearn for more action in boxing, but, UFC has proven that it can make money off of chucking gay **** down alot of peoples throats on a weekly basis and their numbers keep getting bigger.

        you dont have to be a jerk man...i was agreeing and stating to promote some exciting fighters... thats what ufc does they put some brawlers against each other.
        Yes i agree dog ufc is boring compared to boxing because it looks like a self defense class mixed with them backyard brawls you see on youtube. I watching mma though but it wont replace boxing to me i just love boxing its the first fight sport to me.
        Who cares if ufc works in a real fight(even thought in a real fight you can kick balls and punch a dudes neck and use weapons) i like the dramatic **** in boxing better but im sad when to many of those boxers die in the ring its scary.

          That's probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. Why would an MMA fighter only trade punches with a boxer? That would be called boxing. lol.

          Just look what happened when Francois Botha entered MMA. He got taken down and submitted in the 1st round by a no name japanese fighter with zero experience.

          ****** comparison. Different sports.

            Before the Judah fight Arum was sucking Floyd's **** saying he's better than SRL, Hagler, and Duran. Its not their fault that Floyd and Winky, and Hopkins have defensive skills. They want to have a brain when they finish the sport. Defensive fighters last longer. Look at Hopkins.

            Anyone who thought that fight was gonna save boxing needs to get off drugs.

              Do people still listen to Arum??

              Fly High,

              Please remember that this is the SAME Arum who stood in front of a bank of cameras and microphones IN 2006 and asserted that Floyd mayweather, Jr was the best fighter he had seen in his forty years in the sport - the best fighter since Ali. He then clearly said that Leonard was great, but on overall skills, Floyd was better.

              Now, you need to ask yourself if he was lying then...or if he is lying now.

                Arum doesn't know **** about Mixed Martial Art. Evidently, if a boxer fights a MMA fighter with boxing rules he will make short work of the MMA guy. But he's nothing but a ****ing idiot if he really thinks that if a boxer steps in the MMA ring with a MMArtist, the MMA guy will try to box with with the boxer. The Mixed Martial artist will easily take the boxer down and either pound on him or submit him, but I'm guessing that he would pound on him before submitting him.

                  In in Bob's corner on this one. HBO could do a bit more, they're only interested in DLH PPV's. The JUDAH-COTTO page has hardly anything on it, they can't be bothered updated they're boxing page anymore.

                  It was a shame DLH-MAYWEATHER got such a large audience, It didn't attract new fans, it discouraged people from watching boxing. Imagine if that same amount of people had of watched GATTI-WARD 1?
