Even though he lost, it was two of the most exciting rounds of fighting ever!!!
In the co main event we had Holly Holms getting submitted by Miesha tate...the former champ fighting a top 2 contender in her weigh division...sigh...
Shame on you boxing...we had champ and contenders fighting tuneups after another....
Elbows to the throat and head, flying kicks to nowhere, piss-poor boxing technique, poor balance......no thanks. As dreadfully run as boxing undoubtedly is, give me the aesthetic pleasures of two skilled boxers any day. Vargas-Ali was far FAR more interesting than the UFC card, which was only amusing for seeing that punk Conor getting beat and the overall unintentionally funny aspects of the whole thing. I honestly have no idea how people can derive much pleasure from MMA
A lack of quality is perceived as being "exciting", when in reality, everyone is beating each others ass because there is no-one within it who is a true craftsman with beautiful refined skills. Someone like Golovkin is more entertaining to watch than that whole damn sport combined.

I enjoy watching certain guys fight in UFC, Jones, McGregor, Overeem, etc...
Better than boxing? Absolutely not.

Look MMA can be fun, but the are downsides to the matchmaking and the way they run their business. Like it or not, feeding your box office stars to the wolves after they go 5-0 is not a sustainable business model. Once the Backstreet Boy gets crushed by some journeyman they called up from Cage Warriors, UFC will be in a death spiral.
And UFC doesn't "build stars". Most of their really popular fighters have made their name pre-UFC, in Pride, WWE, or any number of orgs.

Originally posted by LetOutTheCage View PostI said show me a UFC fight that is as exciting or as enjoyable to watch as the boxing matches I mentioned and you couldnt. I didnt say it had to be that competative but there has been nothing I have seen that is close to Haggler vs Hearns in the UFC. To even suggest those fights you mentioned as a comaprison shows you are either a UFC fanboy or you no nothing about boxing. Judging from your recent posts i'm leaning to the former.
I love boxing more than I do mma, but to think mma doesnt have great fights on par with boxing is absurd

Imagine Floyd or Pacquiao losing to Carlos Molina. Just imagine.
That would never happen in boxing.

But at least boxers can freaking box.
Their best typically fight each other until they reach the apex and are able to pick and choose.
