James "Tap out" Toney and the UFC made a mockery out of boxing tonight

[fathergll]

That if they want to "show boxing up" as they seem so eager to do they need to send over their best to beat our best in our own sport?

That doesnt make any sense. So should the UFC do the same with all combat sports? Send their best to compete in a Karate tournament. Send their best to compete in a judo match?

MMA is the sport of fighting.....you can use whatever style you want within certain rules. We just witnessed a wrestler manhandle a boxer last night. Just like we witnessed a JuJitsu fighter name Gracie doing the same back in 1993.

double edged sword for the UFC

on one hand many mma fans will feel their sport is superior, on the other side the card was pretty aweful bar one fight and thats only because of comparison to the others.

Ive enjoyed the last few UFC events and was really lookin forward to this one, but it was just..bad

It was a circus act! *** Dana White and Toney for that crap.

It was a circus act! *** Dana White and Toney for that crap.

Both of them should be gloating. White because his hype made it look like MMA is better than boxing, and Toney, who got paid for a lousy 3 minute workout with hardly throwing any meaningful punch. MMA and boxing are different.

It is the UFC and boxing who compete with each other because they are both the top earners in the combat entertaining industry. When was the last time you ever watched a Karate, Judo, or real life wrestling on PPV. An MMA champion could make money if he steps in the ring because people would pay to watch it. But we all know that will not happen. At the end of the day it is all entertainment

oh well, would have been a good laugh if Toney could of kept up the trash talk. ofcourse now we can look forward to countless threads and blogs about how much boxing sucks even though Boxing is all the UFC can ever talk about, and how could you blame em. boxing is awesome. as for the debate, Couture answered the obvious and it is the reason why the UFC will always be insecure on some levels. no one is ever knocking out a boxer in the octagon standing up, and as effective as wrestling is in a fight it is never going to win over fans of stand up fighting since it is just not as esthetically pleasing to the eye. Gracie proved this years ago.

UFC was the huge loser.

Firstly, Toney managed to steal a pay day from UFC by coming in with a beer gut and doing nothing.

Boxing 1-0 UFC

Secondly, a boxer was willing to take on a UFC legend who is still in shape at his own game. A UFC fighter has not, and will not, enter boxing and fight a comparable opponent; i.e. someone who is considered a legend and in shape, such as Hopkins.

Boxing 2-0 UFC

Your IQ is nonexistant if you think Couture beats Toney in a BOXING MATCH. He even said himself he would get knocked out in the first round.

It amazes me how unbelievably ****** people are. Neither guy can compete in the other guy's sport, come on, stop with this crap.

Sorry bub, but Randy admitted defeat before stepping into the ring by building his gameplan around avoiding a stand up fight. He admitted he was TOO AFRAID to stand toe-to-toe with Toney. I don't care what your standards are, but according to my standards that is a coward. If you admit defeat in a toe-to-toe battle before it even happens then you are a coward.

I don't mind fighters who lose on their feet or take a beating on their feet like Marcus Davis did. He had heart and showed it. Or like Calderon did last night. They were both man enough to stand their ground and test themselves. All Couture did was wrestle a boxer (with no wrestling background) to the floor, and once he knew he was in the safe, acted like a big tough guy reigning down blows. What a little b****.

what you think!!!
