Same can be said about boxing?

Boxing is a thinking mans fight. It is literally poetry in motion....

To know the actions and reactions of the human body to use as defense and counter is just crazy....

So when fighters throw a punch and immediately block or duck? That is just a defensive method that is instilled by knowing that a right hand or left hook is coming. to know that it is coming without ever seeing the punch is incredible.

The way that Marg knew the left hook would be open on Cintron after Cintron threw his in the 2nd fight which was the KO punch was superb. He threw the punch off of a defensive move. It was set up and he knew what Cintron would throw which is why in that split second he was able to land the big shot...

MMA is jsut throw bombs, grab, and twist a limb.... whoopdi freakin doo.

I'm a pretty new poster on the board and for the most part I really think that a lot of you are very knowledgeable and have a lot of passion for the sport of boxing but why doesn't this same love carry over to MMA? So I wanted to ask you guys a couple of questions that might help me figure out how so many of you are just so Anti-fun?

1. Does boxing have to be the more popular of the two sports for you to actually enjoy it?

2. Why are so many of you so insecure about you sexuality that you have to compare grappling with ****sexual sex?

3. Im sure a lot of you like other sports like football, baseball. and basketball so why doesn't the same hate you have for MMA transfer over to these sports.

4. How can you deny yourself endless forms of combat and tons of entertaining matchups in both sports? In january alone I get to watch 5 major title fights since I'm a big fan of both sports while all of you MMA haters get a whole two title fights.

5. Why do you hate fun and multiple forms of entertainment?


All I ask is that if you answer my questions you will at least put the same effort into them that you put into the boxing threads on this message board.

Two words... Dana White. His constant **** talking of Boxing automatically makes Boxing fans defensive.

[My Name Is...]

What I mean is this..... Go to 2:24 he set it up with other punches, he knew how Cintron would react, and in a split second was able to capitalize. He put the combination together knowing before hand what was going to happen.

to be honest bro Im a casual fan of MMA. I really think Dana White is the reason why so many people here hate MMA.
He talks all this **** about how boxing is corrupt and how they dont put on enough good shows. Then he goes on to say that there are way too many PPV in boxing. Well he is a hypocrite cause he is doing the exact same thing that promoters in boxing are doing.
He puts on a PPV once a month and its at UFC one million alreasy. Then he has nice fight cards but the top dogs in the MMA (Lesnar, Rampage, Randy C., Silva, my personal fav GSP!, ) and others that bring in the money are barely making 1 mill if that. So what the **** does White trash do with all the money.
MMA is a dangerous game and the fighters get paid **** to put their lives on the line. Look at tito ortiz who was only making 200,000 when he was the top dog. And everyone knows that Randy Coutre left because he was getting ****ed with no lube by Dana and teh UFC. the only reason they come back or continue to do it is cause they cant do anything else.
Its a proven fact that Dana is a ***** and he pays his fighters ****. He is no better than the oscars, arums, and don kings yet he has the balls to talk **** about them. I dont think so.
At least in boxing they get paid to smash their skulls in. In boxing you have two men fighting standing up all the time. In MMA you can lay on the ground for 14.5 out of the 15 minute match.
But for me personally it is the ***** Dana White that runs his ****en mouth way too much.
Once his so called sport has been around for as long and as popular as boxing has been then he or whoever takes over for him can run their mouths!

I wrestled all the way up until 9th grade and stopped since wrestling and basketball was during the same season. Anyone saying that wrestling is gay, just shows how immature and gay THAT person is to even have those thoughts cross his mind. Wrestling is a tough as a sport as you can do. The stamina needed for wrestling is ***en crazy!! I bet 95% of posters here if they wrestled for one minute would be out of their breath. Wrestling is just as much as an art as boxing. It's ignorance and just not knowing better to say it's not. Wrestling is just as much about thinking, if not more than boxing. You have to think ahead of your opponent! You something have to decide what you're going to do and then do 3 different things just to get to do what you want to do. Defense in wrestling is just as tactical as boxing. And unlike boxing you can't survive in wrestling without defense. Margarito can make up for defense with his chin. IF you have no defense in wrestling your ass is getting pinned. The countering in wrestling and reversals are an art and require a lot skill and thinking and to actually complete a reversal, is a whole different task on it's own. I don't like mma's stand up as I don't like sloppy fighting, but i grew up in a small town with no police department and fights were a daily thing. Fighting is fighting and I'm always down to see some fighting!! and true fight would! ONly an ignorant person would praise boxing so high and downplay another type of fighting only cause they know nothing about or never engaged in it. I have never bought an MMA card, but like i said im always down to watch fights and appreciate different arts of fighting.
