Boxing has pimp slapped MMA!

[Bender88]

lmao look at your sig. Why would you even ask that question. boxing is an art, MMa is a wild street fight. Entertaining maybe, skill? hardly.

Dude i don't care if you hate the sport but to say no skill shows you have no ****ing idea at all.

Roll with a BJJ blackbelt half your size and tell me if there is no skill.

But yess a lot of fighters have sloppy stand up relative to boxing,

Watch the countdown dumbass it was filmed.

And what does bruce lee have to do with BJ Penn?? It's like comparing roger Clemens to Joe Montana.

Diego Corrales was running 10 miles, every day. That man had incredible stamina. Bj penn does not, and can't, run 10 miles. If he was lean and never tired, maybe I'd believe him.

explain the fight the other night then, with Kimbo and Alexander. I didn't see them do anything and they were gassed. I realize Kimbo is a joke, but alexander was supposed to be at least middle of the league.

For the record, boxing is even more intensive when it comes to energy consumption.

1 Alexander hasn't fought in 2 years and most of his fights don't go past the first round. As for Kimbo you answered that question yourself

2. How does boxing consume more energy when punching, moving, and defending are the only requirements. MMA not only requires Boxing and moving but it also requires Takedown attempts,Submission attempts(which requires ton's of energy), and kicks. And don't forget you also have to defend against all of that.

Boxers = World Class Supreme Athletes......MMGAY = ex WWE actors, failed footballers and out of shape looking fat slobs

What 95% of fighters gas? Name some?? Oh because they only fight 3 rounds! Well when I see a boxers start shooting for a take down, defending a take down, and actually using kicks as well as punches then I will say you have a fair comparison. Also don't forget the rounds are 2 min longer in MMA with the same 1 min rest period.

Every other mma fight is 2 tired fighters just staring at each other or 1 of them taking the other down because they are tired.

Boxers after 10 rounds (30 minutes) look fresher than mma'ers after 2 rounds (10 minutes). No solid numbers for that, just my perception.

wrong on all accounts.

btw, fighters in mma fight with gloves that have very little padding. almost every single punch is that much more dangerous as a result. mma is more like a real fight. in a real fight, you wouldn't let someone land 200+ punches on you like in boxing. You have to be weary of every single punch thats why fighters are more defensive in mma than boxing.

Typical MMGAY fanboy rhetoric.Don't spew such utter garage around those who actually know better.There is very little difference in the force between four ounce gloves and an eight ounce glove,not to mention that those wearing the eight ounce gloves can actually throw a punch correctly.The padding around boxing gloves are based around the knuckles,which are used to prevent hand injuries rather than protect an opponents face.

MMGAY fighters know nothing about slipping or blocking punches because they don't know how to.

15-20 pound diffrence in weight classes actually makes it harder to fight below you natural weight class because if you move up in weight you have to fight fighters that are gonna be 15-20 pounds heavier. You lose all your size advantages and actually put yourself in a position where you can be completely manhandled since the strength encreases dramatically more when you move up in weight than it does in boxing Imagine if their was a 15-20 pound weight diffrence in boxing. Pac would have to jump from light weight all the way to JR Middle. Trust me people stay in their natural weight classes for a reason in MMA.

MMGAY fighters all cut a tremendous amount of weight.They all cut on average between 15-20 pounds,come fight time,there is very little difference between the weight between the two.

Boxers take babysteps up in weight, MMA fighter go from 5ft 8 in 155 pound light weights to 6ft 1 in 170 welterweight. Thats to dramatic for most people and to much weight to cut for someone to look for a size advantage. It actually discourages fighting out of your weight class.

Very rarely do MMGAY fighters move up in weight,they usually move down in weight to gain an even greater advantage.

you're using one exception and making him the rule. anthony johnson is an extremely rare case. you won't see many if any mma fighters cutting that much weight.

forrest griffin,Tiago Alves,Jon fitch,Nate Marqaudt,Sean Sherk,Gleison Tibau,Joe Riggs........I could go on and on

Actually BJ Penn is known for great stamina and has never been considered a gasser so what are you talking about. Name a fight he gassed in?

its not like you are grappling, punching and kicking at the same time. The punching alone makes MMA fighters the most tired. A boxing match consists of 12 rounds, 3 minutes each. Used to take 15 rounds for championship fights, and we still saw some fighters ****ing away. No MMA fighter could ever do that.

Boxers after 10 rounds (30 minutes) look fresher than mma'ers after 2 rounds (10 minutes). No solid numbers for that, just my perception.

MMA rounds are 5min and have the same 1 min rest period. MMA fighters defend and attempt 3 times the offensive and defensive manuvers that Boxers do. Seriously it's like comparing a baseball players stamina(Baseball is not timed and can go on forever with endless delays in between one play) to a soccerplayer ( Soccer has no time outs and the clock never stops except for half time and the players run over 100 yards in the span of 15 seconds.).
