Do you have a single fact to back up any of your wild scholarship claims? No you don't..sadly.

Actually I do. I wrestled at a top wrestling high school, and am aware of many such stories. Unlike you, I don't simply pull **** out of my ass and pass it off as the truth.

My comments were based on logic and research, that of a knowledge MMA and boxing fan.

Seriously though, I'm done with you. You've been repeatedly owned in this thread, and will continue to be owned, I imagine. As I said, you are simply spouting off preconceived biases, and everyone can see this except yourself.

Typical retreat of someone who's lost and desperate. Take care..better luck on your next argument lol.

Your "stories" are about as good as my googling. I'm talking about facts not stories, do you know the difference or are you another underprivileged jock with no real education? lol

Let me translate. I have inside knowledge, having attended a school and wrestled for a squad which has sent many a wrestler to college via scholarship.

You are quite pathetic in your attempts to appear intellectually dignified. I think we all see through the facade.

Boxing is still considered somewhat classy and a sport. MMA is about blood, promotes blood, and is simply a bloodsport. Rich people go see boxing because its human poetry. ****y, loud mouthed, ******s go see MMA because they want to see blood and don't care about the well being of the fighters. Boxing=chess due to it highly calculating attacks strictly to one thing, the head. MMA is more of checkers due to its high amount of attacks since you have to whole body to work. Boxing will always be the greater sport because its more refined and just easier on the eyes. /thread

Unfortunately, this is not corroborated by mortality/serious injury rates between the two sports. Serious injuries are rare in MMA, and fatality is all-but unheard of to this point. The same is not true of boxing.

This may be a point which is open to debate, as the book on MMA is still being written. To this point though MMA has not consistently produced the sorts of traumatic injuries which occur in boxing.

I don't think UFC has had a single death ever, boxing has had like 3 or 4 just this year alone and basically several deaths per year.

^ a testament to the fact that boxing is the true blood and guts sport and boxers are the ONLY Gladiators in today's combat sports. As I said before, MMA fighters are Gladiator-Lite. Sort of like the HBO Family version of Gladiator with Tom Hanks playing Russell Crowe.

BJJ is so bloody. There's nothing artful about Bruce Lee either. All that leg kicking **** is so overrated. Floyd would clearly beat the brakes off that tiny asian dude. Boxing is clearly more complicated than MMA anyway. Worrying about all them other bull**** styles like Judo, BJJ, Wrestling, Karate, Muay Thai, Sambo makes MMA too ****ing simple. Straight, Jab, Hook, Uppercut is on some Einstein **** though. MMA needs some real class though. Ain't nobody classier than Bob Arum, Don King, and Cedric Kushner. These promoters are the reason why the boxing will never die. Real Men only use fists in a REAL FIGHT. Brazil, Japan, China, Koreans, Russians... **** outta here with all that kicking, gay teabagging, **** hugging ****.
