Will that be because HBO got their **** together and do a real decent job promoting and structuring the event or because they'll overcharge a D grade event which they don't care about to the point that they can't fill dead air if their lives depended on it followed by watching Floyd trying to ride his bike for 12 rounds again?
And enough with this "bar fighter" crap. what barfighter would hold Olympic and world credentials?Last edited by DuttyAlacrity; 12-16-2008, 05:20 PM.Comment

Ugh street fights are not like what you see in the movies. Street fights can and usually become life and death situations and if someone is choking you out you can call them a ***** or whatever all you want but you still lose and you could still be killed if you don't know how to defend it.Last edited by DuttyAlacrity; 12-16-2008, 05:20 PM.Comment

I'm a fan of boxing and MMA. IMO if you take a boxer and put him in a mma fight he's more than likely gona loose. And deff vice versa. To say that mma is a joke is bs. Saying is takes no skill apparantly you haven't watched two top contenders go at. Ones that have good ground and striking. That is one of the reasons I like mma because you have to train for so many different and possible things that can happen in a match. Now I am in no way discrediting boxing. It takes a hole different skill set and yeah I would deff give the cardio edge to boxing but there are some mma fighters that take there cardio to just as extreme level as boxers. And if being on the ground is just laying there taking a break. Whats the diff when you got thos clinching boxers that just wants to hug when his opponant gets inside. I'm not hating on boxing at all just felt the need to take up for mma and the so called fan base every one seems to think it has. Like you're a ****** moron just for liking to whatch it. It just got on my nerves a little for so many to basically say theres no skill in it. As for Brock getting the title shot I completely agree. Complete bs That is one of the things I don't like about the management of ufc they try do what they think is more popular instead of what is right or fair. Don't wana step on any one's toes in here just joined the site and enjoy it very much and don't wana get into any personal attacks on here so If I've offended any one sorry just stating my opinion.Comment

Street fights also include biting, eye gouging, stomping regardless of who is on the ground, pulling hair, hitting in the nuts, knees regardless of who is on the ground... So if i get an expert in **** like that is it safe to say that that person would definitely beat a UFC figther in a "real" fight? O_O
Another thing is that there really aren't any experts in techniques like eye gouging, because those sorts of things can't be practiced on a resisting opponent. If there was a real no rules fight, I'd favour a fighter like a BJJ fighter or wrestler, who can control position over some guy claiming to be an expert in "dirty techniques".Comment

Well originally, the precursor of MMA, Vale Tudo had basically those rule sets, and it was still dominated by fighters who were the prototypes for modern MMA fighters. Yuki Nakai had his eye gouged so badly by Gerard Gordeau that he permanently lost sight in it, but he still won their fight inspite of being outweighed by around 70lbs. The early days of the UFC allowed everything but eye gouging, biting and fishhooking IIRC, but they were still dominated by guys like Royce Gracie and Mark Coleman.

good post though
Just to make it clear i respect MMA fighters... I just prefer boxing. Also, I think it's easier to become an MMA success than it is to become a boxing success.
As much as I like Rich Franklin, he was an educator before becoming an mma success. You rarely find any boxer who has made a career change in their mid 20's become successful.
Also, I like to use this analogy... Boxers are artist with pencils and MMA fighters are artists with paint brushes, different colors, etc.
It's easier to make a portrait or beautiful art work with a paint brush and stencils ... but to do that with just a pencil is amazing work... Hence I feel boxers are more skilled in their craftLast edited by DuttyAlacrity; 12-16-2008, 06:04 PM.Comment

This may be, but as long as ****wads like Dana White & Joe Rogan talk down on the sport that I've grown up on, I will continue to talk **** about their lame ****-****** sport they call MMA. I have no respect for it what-so-ever. Lou DiBella calls it human **** fighting and he's right. Boxing is a science and nobody anywhere can compare the two sports in my mind.
1. Boxers can have undefeated records because it isn't as much chance/luck like UFC **** is. One slip and you're watching some guy blow his load on top of some other **** on the ground. Look at Kimbo, he was supposed to be the next attraction, he even headlined that CBS card.
2. Most Boxers are some of the best conditioned athletes alive. These MMA/UFC *******s fight with flabby guts because it's not required to be in shape in their sport. You HAVE to be conditioned or you have no chance in boxing (except in some cases the HW division). UFC guys can take dryhumping breaks on the ground & regain their breath.
3. UFC fans are rednecks & frat boys. People of all walks of life appreciate and respect boxing. Boxing will not be replaced.Comment
