If you TAP out then its ok, but if you dont continue a fight then youre a *****??

[gancho_al_igado]

Is that whats going on?, in MMA if you tap out your'e given up right?, its like youre saying "this guy has me iam beat"...In boxing if youre hurt like Ortiz was and you the boxer says "thats it, no more" then youre a ***** right?....I mean when youre beat or hurt then shoudnt that be it? whats the point of continuing and risking your career and more importantly your life just to impress a crowd and audience of people that have never been in a fight their whole life.

Victor's heart, will, and desire got armbarred so he tapped out

[Spacey1991]

To be fair nobody on these boards will make that comparison cause barely any of them like MMA...

GREAT THREAD!!!

READ BETWEEN THE LINES....


BOXING> MMA PERIOD.

[WhoreUs]

boxing needs to let its boxers quit when they feel they need to.

sometimes boxers corners and ref are idiots.

Victor got up from the knockdown incredibly quick for a so called seriously hurt fighter. If he was so hurt, he'd fall back down on his ass Zab Judah style.

Actually nothing involving MMA is ok

It can be a bit different, like if, I don't know, Brock Lesnar has you in an arm bar and your arm is seconds away from snapping in two, you are forgiven for tapping. But as much of a beating Wlad gave Chagaev the other night i'll never condone his giving up, as a 'Champion' of the world you never give up!!!!

he said in the post fight his legs were gone and getting up quick is overated, veteran boxers know not to get up quick they stay down till the 8 count and re coup their legs. Victor was def hurt in this fight, Maidana is a power puncher and victor took alot of shots in the dome. Plus look at his face, he was cut and his eye was badly swollen. Hes 22, it doesnt make sence to continue.

That's the difference between boxing and MMA. I think there's a difference between getting knocked out and getting your arm ripped off or being choked to death while you still have your senses. I don't see the mma cats tapping because they got hit too hard.
