Sometimes I like being wrong more than I like being right as far as picking winners of fights. Like Mosley's and Pacquiao's recent wins. I thought they both would lose but they shocked everyone and proved us all wrong. **** is bad ass!!!




    Don’t lie ABOS…you love boxing because of Larry Merchant

      the competition between 2 men who train hard. the sweet science. not just throwing punches. there is a art in boxing and i love to see people show it. as i do myself. the mutual respect for one another after a match. the passion and rejoice after a victory knowing all the hard work paid off. i can go on forever

          What? What does that mean? MMA is a good sport too. You don't like MMA at all? I just don't understand how a boxing fan cannot like MMA at least a little bit.

              at the bold. Yeah man, I just don't get it. I can understand if a boxing fan doesn't like MMA fights that turn into grappling matches but not all fights are like that. Some boxing matches suck and the fighters clinch all the time or run away from each other. IDK, I like pretty much all combat sports. Kickboxing, MMA, boxing, Judo, whatever, put it on the TV and I'm good to go. I've seen plenty of MMA fights that just turned into boxing matches. Like last weekend, Sanchez vs. Stevenson. That was basically a boxing match. There were only a couple takedowns and then the fight went right back to the feet.

                I'm losing interest in mma to be honest.I didn't watch ufc 95 ecause ufc 94 was so bad after all that hype and for all the ights to be such a huge letdown


                I was more interested in mma than boxing in 2008 but since 2009 I've become more interested in boxing again


                I will watch mma however when rampage fights.That guy is awesome

                  I love it because it is a warriors sport, Where Honor and Courage are essential, where you have all the glory and earned it. It's like a game of EXTREME CHESS and you pay the price for mistakes.

                    I also love the fights were a guy just picks apart his opponent.Humiliates and outclasses him and then just finishes him at the end

                    That's why I loved mosley vs margarito so much especially since mosley was such an underdog aswell

                      Yeah, I love fights like that. I mentioned this in my first post in this thread. Same with Pavlik vs. Hopkins. What a shocker that was to a lot of us. While Hopkins didn't knock Pavlik out, he embarrassed him and made him look like a simpleton. I'd almost rather be knocked out than toyed with like that.
