For those that still prefer boxing over UFC, why?

[Regge]

Not for nothing, but Jake Paul can punch. His boxing is terrible but the kid’s right hand is a bomb. Tyron Woolley has been hit with bombs from some heavy hitters in UFC before and still managed to stay up. So being slept by Jake speaks a lot about Jake’s power.

Nope!!!!

All it says is ufc Champs are trash boxers.

I prefer boxing. And I can't come up with words to explain why.

UFC guys can’t box, I agree. They strike like high schoolers BUT Jake can punch. I don’t doubt it at all. If he couldn’t, he wouldn’t be laying these guys out the way he does. Bums or not.

So was Glory.

Glory is decent but it came along at a point where a lot of the big names in kickboxing were retiring and/or getting into their 40s after carrying the sports profile for ages, and they were never really replaced.

Jake has a good hustle going on, cant hate on it really. The way I see it is hes an MMA guy at heart, but Dana doesnt like him and would probably try to make an example of him if he worked with the UFC. So instead hes trained boxing exclusively for a few years, then hand picks MMA guys he thinks he can beat in that area, so its the best of both worlds for him and a **** you to Dana.

I dont enjoy watch grappling, wrestling, grown men locking each other in doggy style positions. It's boring ass sht and I dont find them that skilled.

Entertainment wise MMA is not comparable to Boxing.

So you are complaining there are too many stoppages? lol. The drama and momentum changes in mma is insane. Literally so many ways to change a fights momentum. How often do you see dramatic boxing fights? Most of the time they are sparring sessions.

Did you miss the part where I said the knockouts were in the first round? My wording was probably too vague. My problem was that it kept ending in a matter of seconds. I’d prefer an entire fight’s worth of action. The issue was that I wasn’t given a more satisfying first impression. So, if what I saw is not what most mma fights are like then enlighten me, how is your average mma fight different from what I’ve described?

What I'd like to know is why UFC fans are so concerned with boxing fans liking their sport? It's almost obsessive, can't you just enjoy it and appreciate that not everyone likes what you like?

Which fights did you watch?

The finish rate has actually dropped quite a bit over the years. Its around 40% nowadays.

I can’t remember which ones. I remember McGregor was in at least one of them. All I know, is that after mma fights I decided to watch Holyfield vs. Foreman and immediately started having a much better time.
