As a boxing fan, do you like MMA or Pro Wrestling?

Well guys, combat sports is in for a good ride hopefully for the remainder of 2017.

We have Mayweather (Pro Boxing) vs. McGregor (Mix Martial Arts) and Jones knocked out Cormier he called out Brock Lesnar.

we could be looking at a potential Jones (Mix Martial Arts) vs Lesnar (Pro Wrestling)


So question for all of ya'll, as a boxing fan, do you like MMA or Pro Wrestling?

Naw. I find MMa to be extremely boring especially when some phag jujitsu ***** starts rolling on the canvas.

Jujitsu is the most rubbish style ive seen and while it may be effective, it shouldnt be put on TV.

I dont watch no god dam wrestling dude. Im not 9 years old.

I only watch Boxing and MLb playoffs.

Today a poster name Lemonhead_Jeff posted this statement in another thread today..

MMA fans are really just WWE fans with slightly more self-respect

So what about our boxing fan who post in this forum,and love the sweet science, are boxing fans really fans of MMA or Pro Wrestling or both?

Wrestling as in wwe type of wrestling isn't a sport. It takes a great amount of skill to do some thing wrestlers do speciall like the mexican wrestlers but they're matches are scripted so no real competition.

MMA is fun at times but I rather watch a technical boxing chess match than two half naked dudes wrestling on the floor for 5 minutes trying to get on top. It also seems pretty lame than a guy can land a no look shot knock a guy down and beat him in the ground after that.

I've not watched wrestling since I was a kid. MMA/UFC I can't get into it. I don't know why, it's just not for me.

never liked wwe even as a kid it was obvious it was fake and wasn't very entertaining. MMA was interesting at first but the pace is too slow and most practitioners aren't that good. The good strikers are sub par if you watch boxing or kickboxing and the wrestling is often used when they're too tired, resulting in them just hugging and breathing on each other for 10 minutes or those little punches that toddlers do when they fight. I like watching boxing most k-1 comes second then muay thai/lethwei fights. just way more entertaining deeper talent pools way more technicians that actually know what they're doing so the competition is always at the highest caliber, although boxing is getting worse at having the best fight the best, this year has been great so far as far as matchups go for boxing

I'm a hardcore boxing fan, and I don't really pay any attention to any other sport. I have no interest in current UFC or MMA, but I DID appreciate the FIRST few UFC events. Before MMA was a fighting style of it's own, UFC pitted two fighters from completely different backgrounds in no-holds-barred fights. It was interesting to see a Kung Fu master vs a Sumo Wrestler, but now everybody basically has the same skills, and it sucks.
I can't watch WWE either, but I loved WWF as a kid!
I would rather watch some old British Bulldogs matches instead of the top current UFC guys fight lol
'Pro Wrestling' was fun until they began to admit it was entertainment. Everybody already knew it was fake, but the wrestlers themselves took the business more seriously.
And truthfully, before MMA, being a big-time 'pro wrestler' was a dream job for any top amateur or grecco roman wrestler or power-lifter. They used to be tougher guys, but the business is filled with modals now.

Pro Wrestling was awesome when I was between 4-9 years old. Loved Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior and Macho Man and the rest of the juiced up wild freaks of the mod to late 80s WWF. But once I learned that the "wrestling" wasn't real sport competition and more "entertainment" I quickly lost interest and gravitated towards boxing. That was about age 10. MMA isn't my favorite but I will watch a big fight like anytime Conor McGregor fights or when Brock Lesnar fought for the first time or 2 I watched it just to see how he would do. I can appreciate the talent those guys have in UFC and they are amazing athletes. I guess I just enjoy the flow and appearance of boxing more than I enjoy watching guys grapple on the ground and I don't enjoy watching guys get elbowed or kneed in the face/head.

MMA: Mostly yes, MMA stans can be quite grating here in the US though.

Pro Wrestling: Hell no, if you weren't wrestling in the 80s I couldn't give a **** who you are.
