          Thing about Sherk is he's a neutralizer, not much a finisher. He can take any situation and pretty much stop it and be dominate. The dude's overcausious though. He ain't never going to finish. Just work the cards. Notice how not once he stayed in the same position or took a rest.

          That's not saying that neutralizing isn't fun to watch, it is. It's just the special herb and ****e is the will to finish.

          I just think it's funny that Sherk trains the Brocks. Both are great finishers.

            You do know that finishing a BJJ black belt on the ground is not exactly a simple task don't you?

              Sean Sherk CAN beat Floyd. Sherk took KNEES to the face and immediately proceeded to lockdown on Franca. You honestly think Floyd's "uppercut" attempts that u guys say "works" would actually work? Get the **** out of here.

              The crowd booed somewhat during the Klitchko fight. Crowd booed alot during the Holyfield fight. Crowds boo, especially when they're drunk in Las Vegas. The crowd started to boo in Oscar vs. Floyd but Oscar saved the fight by throwing flurries.

              The thing that pisses me of is,nearly a whole UFC card can be boring with the crowed booing the matches,but it still gets praised,while boxing gets criticized if ONE fighter has a boring match,boxings 'dying' because of a PPV that didnt live up to the hype,****s disgusting.
              That's the thing. The PPV was NOT boring. The thing is, you like every other boxing fan in this site tend to watch UFC with a BIAS so that u can criticise anything they do. We don't watch boxing with intent to hate on it. If it's boring we criticise it. Jabbing and running is what Floyd made people pay $55, and possibly $65 if u count snacks, add that and terrible undercards and you got some pissed off people. Not everyone was upset at the(last night's) card. There were alot of cheers, you were just so eager to hear boos so u can be "backed up" in your pathetic attempt at hating on UFC or MMA in general. Boxing has a lot of jabbers and runners, but yet you guys act like we should appreciate the sweet science when you guys fail to even understand the sport of MMA. Very hypocritical and if I recall correctly it was BOXING that started talking **** about MMA. Stop watching MMA and go watch your boxing, honestly this hate on MMA is ****ing ridiculous. Just shut the **** up and stop bitching.

              And I wish idiots like you would appreciate MMA more or at least attempt to understand the scenarios.

              Sean Sherk dominated a brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt, do you think Floyd would do the same? He's not strong enough to have kept Franca controlled, HELL NO def. not strong enough.

              That's a big problem for boxing too. Money hungry people who can't be satisfied with their 20 million dollars.

              That's the thing...we're not trying to get boxing fans to ditch their sport and watch MMA. Watch both , I mean **** YOU guys are the first to criticise. I don't remember any boxing hate threads, leave MMA the **** alone if you dislike it. The more you hate on grappling and the ground game without even training it or at least understanding it...the more hate can go towards jab and runners.

              Wow that was a ******ed post. When UFC first started out they were basically trying to see which style would win in a fight...boxing, wrestling or martial artist...the BJJ dude schooled everyone. don't say some ****** **** like "they were garbage" becuz fame doesnt equal skill.

              Your right in that it takes skill, but so does golf, and I don't watch it cause it bores me.
              Exactly.

                    Yeah, I'm expecting a bunch of idiotic responses. They really have nothing to dispute what I'm saying.
