I don't like one sided beatdowns like Haye VS Ruiz, a good boxing fight like a Mosley VS DLH is what i like about boxing. A clash of will between two evenly skilled fighters.

I'm not gonna lie; I like bloody noses, cut eyes, swelling/bruising, broken jaws, etc.- the blood n guts if you will..

I don't think it was ever a secret, there's a degree of violence involved in boxing we all know that. It's not really a primal need for violence that the fans enjoy- There's a lot more to it.

If I only enjoyed two guys punching each other in the face with no skill I'd watch MMA. I love the skill and art of the sport but for thousands of years Humans have enjoyed the brutality of one man against another.

Very true. MMA does have a rather large homesexual fan-base.
