    MMA fans....help me out....

    I am not an MMA fan but have plenty of friends who are. I went to a fight party last night and listened to all of my friends hyping up this Silva vs. Griffin fight. Most in the room seemed to favor Griffin thinking he was going to be too strong for Silva. The touted this Griffin like he was a beast or something. With that said he was knocked out by Silva with a flicking jab while Silva backed up. The punch was obviously powerless yet Griffin was visibly hurt and tapped out. I guess my question is, do true MMA fans think this was exciting? And if so, why?

    I told everyone in the room very early in the fight that as long as they were standing up that Griffin had no chance because it was obvious to a novice fight fan that he was severely slow. I left telling myself that I have seen many club show Cruiserweights that would have knocked out Griffin last night. Can MMA fans disagree with that?

    Griffin is mostly a grappler who tries to brawl in order to please the fans, he has a weak chin and no power so he was perfect for Silva. Your friends must not watch much MMA is they favoured Griffin, he was a big underdog.

      I am a fan of both sports.

      I agree with you that griffin has NO chance on the feet with silva. And yes, griffin will be knocked out by club show Cruiserweight boxers in a BOXING match.

          SO Griffin being disposed of with a flicking jab from a man going backwards did not surprise you?

              He would get knocked out by a clu show cruiser in any type of match. If a flicking jab KO's him how would he ever be able to shoot and take down a fighter. He would be asleep before it ever happened.

                  Ray Robinson used to knock people out while go backwards so I guess Anderson is that special kind of puncher.[puncher not boxer]
