Boxing is so dead

[BodyBagz]

Like I told you, of course its not going to look the same when boxing is just punches with constant ref enforcement of how the fight should go.

The funny thing is, boxing fans use all this "sloppy" "art" etc talk to attack MMA but then when boxing has a crazy slugfest war with people getting rocked constantly etc everyone goes crazy. Look at how people reacted to Fury/Wilder 3.

Fury and Wilder would dominate MMA/UFC

On the lower end of the greatness scale
Gatti vs Ward > anything MMA/UFC has to offer

So much excitement without all the kicking and rolling around on the floor

I you want to live or not have to eat through a straw, take up MMA/UFC

UFC came from Pride Japan was paying guys to beat the crap outta each other K-1

Fighters were crippling each other for very little money

Anyone who takes up glorified street fights can't handle what it takes to be a boxer.

You always post good stuff!

When I was in LA
getting my car detailed
I was with my Nephew
And some homeless black guy was acting the fool

I bought him a breakfast burrito and he was cool

he said his drug addiction caused him to lose his home, wife, and self respect

I took him to a drug treatment center

he was willing to street fight anyone

Remember Bum Fights

that show was funny, then sad!

Again, why are you talking like this is a point in favour of boxing? essentially what you're saying is MMA is able to have less rules, more blood, spectacular KOs, people getting kicked, kneed and elbowed in the head, thrown around, choked out etc while boxing has people getting jabbed for 12 rounds in a boring fight then slipping into a coma and dying.

Lol theres a video out there of Fury getting taken down by a striker with famously ****ty wrestling who fights at 185lbs in the UFC.

Both of them would be reduced to having a small window of punchers chance in MMA. They might pull off a Mercer/Sylvia once in a blue moon but most of the time they'd be on their back within 30 seconds and likely stopped in the first round. Theres a reason people stopped calling HW boxing champs "the baddest man on the planet" ages ago. Fury isnt even the best active HW in his own city for ****s sake.

I actually do think that the absolute best boxing matches often are better than the best MMA fights, but MMA is just waaaaaaay more consistent with its entertainment value. You regularly get multiple talking points and holy **** moments from the same card, which is just not the case with boxing.

Nothing wrong with "kicking and rolling around on the floor" as you put it. The best MMA fights are usually the ones that have a mix of everything imo. Thats the whole point of the sport, MIXED martial arts. Its multi dimensional and dynamic, theres way more places a fight can go, which is a part of the appeal.

Gatti vs Ward is NOT an example of great boxing
A C lister vs a D lister, where neither guy gave an inch.
MMA and the like is consistently sloppy.
MMA fans are used to watered down fights.
Kinda like street beefs

You're a man of the people

I wonder who won the bum belt

How much money does the boxing industry make?
The market size, measured by revenue, of the Boxing Promoters industry is $438.6m in 2022.

RIP

How much has ''non boxing'' generate so far ?!?!?

[TMLT87]

Yes, so terrible. Such a disadvantage to MMAs growth and entertainment value that it has this as well as punching, obviously.
