Jab, you're just gay and need to **** off. Only losers who have never seen gash watch reality TV. In Thailand they do have 2 minute breaks, I SAW it with my BARE eyes. Check it up on some geeky website you will see it there. BTW, they might be fast to you but they are slow to boxers. It's obvious that boxers are the fastest.

No boy, I actually fight. I've actually boxed before for about 7 years and am currently training mauy thai. Unlike you, who thinks he can figure out the intracacies of a sport by watching it. Honestly, you can't tell me ****. You're credibility was flushed the moment you tried to say Marciano retired to duck Liston. But I'll tell you what, I train under a guy named Ajarn Rick davis. I'll be at the gym at 11 tommorow and will ask him about these supposed 2 minute rounds in thailand (where he became a master. Feel free to google it) and I'll be back here tommorow afternoon sometime and let you know for sure. Because as it is now, there are 1 minute rests. as far as who gets gash.....lol, im not so insecure I that I have to make **** up and lie to a bunch of strangers about all the models I've ****ed. Me, I got a nice girl. We have fun.

Well, I guess its time to man up. You were right. There are two minute breaks in mauy thai. There is however very little break in the action. The 2 minute rest periods are to produce more action during the round. it ensures fighters fight. Also, if a fighter is trying to rest and avoid action during a round, referee's are encouraged to force that fighter to fight by pushing him towards his opponent. If he still tries to take prolonged rest period it is grounds for disqualification. So, I'll give you the 2 minute debate. You were right, I was wrong. But you are wrong about the rest of it.

Honestly, a lot of them probably do. They have to cover a lot more things.

Both train crazy hard. At the world class level for either, it has to be insane. I've been in the gym with Vinny Paz and he was uinbelievable the way he trained. I heard stories from Joh Scully on the way Floyd trains and that is unbelievable. I think Im a pretty tough guy, but I know I am not a world class fighter. Those guys, in either sport, are machines.

[BigmoneyMikes]

on average there about even. while MMA training is more deversified they dont train harder or easier, they train to fight for 15 or 25 champ match mins while most boxers train to go for 30 to 36 min. in MMA the grapllers would be the once who trainas hard as boxers cuz they need alot od stamina.

Dont get me wrong some top MMA guys train real hard ,but i i dont think they do to many early morning runs lol
theres more beer bellies in MMA than what there is in boxing !

[Kakutogi-Gumi]

Eh. I think that due to making sure their muscles function properly. A lot of MMA fighters like to strength train.

Though looking shredding would really be a bonus.
