Just like early version of boxing was around before the roman empire. In Fact there is an evidence that there was boxing in Babylon and even earlier. Most of the people got me wrong. I dont say that Asian Martial arts are inferior to boxing(boxing is also a martial art) I say that they are overrated and if lets say Karate had the same system as boxing(12 round bouts, full contact) only than we could compare the fighters from both schools. Before that you can not compare somebody who gets about 3 or 4 times in a whole bout to somebody who gets hit 200--300 tomes in about and fights much more often. I also think that some of the martial arts are overated because I knew couple of martial artists and they got mugged in my neighboorhood just like everybofy else. and their skills did not help them to repel the attack.

Ha-Ha No ****. I remember though that Mike Tyson was once threatend with a gun. It was something likethe guy said to Tyson
" you are fast Mike, but you are not faster than the bullet" so
mike ends ****ing the guy up but the funny thing is that the guy did not have the gun. Maybe just another urban legend but I read this story in a newspaper.Comment

Well, there's also a difference between a martial artist and some kid that has been taking martial arts. It's a whole mental state as well not just physical. This is the reason why someone like BOB SAPP has been beaten by people smaller than him or why in the earlier versions of the UFC smaller guys have dominated bigger guys and there were fights that were going for 30mins straight...no patching up, no vaseline, no ice, etc.
Well, they do actually have karate tournaments but since they do not wear gloves and in some tournaments (kyukoshinkai tournaments) and there is no weight limit they therefore can not actually go 12 rounds. They'd probably end up killing each other. You guys should check out some older Muay Thai fights as well.Comment

I remember this too. But believe me people with guns are just as nervous as the person they are trying to shoot...and I think Mike Tyson attacked him and his girlfriend or something like that...this was pretty recent.Comment

The reason Bob Sapp gets beat by guys who are smaller than him is because h has zero talent and is nothing more than a sideshow. Bob Sapp is nothing more than the Butterbean of MMA.
Smaller guys did not dominate MMA early on Grapplers did no matter what size they were because its the most effect form of fighting. We still have never seen any of these Kung-Fu, Jeet-Kune-Do type fighter have any kind of success because that stuff doesn't work.Comment
