After getting into UFC, boxing has become so boring

[Ca$ual Fan]

Boxers strategy to “marinate” fights so they can keep their “0” and tout themselves the best is what has ultimately been the cause of steep decline for boxing. In addition to that, the atrociously awful judging.
And, too many “points fighters”, not enough warriors.

UFC doesn’t marinate any FOOKING fights. Mfers get knocked out in the first round.

That’s because of Dana White’s repetitive words on camera saying ‘Never leave the fight into the judges hands’. UFC does have ridiculous scorecards too but they treat them as a consequence for making the fight go the distance.

It’s a kind of a mentality thing

Also, I noticed in the UFC that aggressive fighters (whether effective or not) are rewarded more often than the play it safe fighters by the judges

Well it’s mma bruh.
Common sense let’s you know finishes will be much faster than boxing when every martial art is permitted.

Dana is running a good show.
No marinating fights.
Not many fighters are “hit & run” points fighters.
No ducking (well, not much)
And action packed.

Boxing just has to get back to putting on respectable fights. No one wants to watch Shawn Porter vs. Sebastian Formella as a main event.

Well TS ufc does seem to have more white fans and boxing tends to have a more diverse fanbase especially Latino and black.

MMA is infinitely more popular in latin america than boxing though.

As somebody already said, Loma and Spinks were both higly decorated amateur fighters

Lesner becoming UFC champ in his 3rd fight is the same as a European amateur champ winning World title in his 3rd fight

Would never happen

NCAA division one is the highest level of wrestling.

it's not the same as a european amateur champion

and who cares anyway, why don't you talk about the pro football players who came to boxing and fought for world titles?

Lesnar is a complete outlier as well. he's not the norm.

[LacedUp]

Make one organisation with on champ in each weight division in boxing, and nobody will even watch UFC.

Boxing still has much bigger potential. Just, there are too many interests involved.

Dude this is delusional.

People watch UFC because the sport MMA is more exciting.

This is it for the UFC, it had its peak 10 years ago. It is not really going to get any bigger 'Because society has changed'. People attitudes towards combat sports has complete changed, that is why the UFC has to be promoted like the WWE, and the presenters/commentators have to behave overly dramatic 'Like bloons'.

I predict the actual UFC, will destroy itself from the inside out. There is no place for dictatorships in sports as we progress into the future 'Mixed Martial Arts will survive, but I honestly think the UFC will implode'.

Conor Mcgregor has gone mate, retired. Nobody talks about his fights or is reminiscing about them 'UFC fight legacies quite simple vanish soon as they happen'.

I am not one of these people who are adverse to the UFC, but it is not swallowing boxing.

It already has swallowed boxing.

They literally had to postpone the fight of boxing's biggest star 1-2 hours because the UFC was on the same night.

Made him wait in the dressing room

Because people are more interested in the UFC than in him. Simple.

[LacedUp]

What fights are people missing?

Pick a fight from Israel Vasquez vs Rafael Marquez.

Any fight from Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez

Any Ali vs Frazier fight.

Any Sugar Ray Robinson fight vs a top fighter.

Any Leonard, Duran, hearns, Hayley fight vs.

Gatti ve Ward 1, Castillo vs corrales

Only person I see still mentioned is Silva and he’s supposed to be some cheat?

MMA at its best doesn’t compare to boxing at its best bottom line and this thread has not stopped being ridiculous and terrible.

Boxing ain’t boring, boxing message boards and it’s haters are.

Why is this guy talking about boxing from 30-50 years ago?

The point completely flies above his head.

pheeeww

It could overtake ufc again, if the best fight the best. The organisations need to go away, and so do half the weight classes. I don't think this will ever happened though.

For me not. I don`t watch MMA at all.
