Boxing or MMA

lol you're an idiot, which one of the top fighters fights with no defense exactly? you obviously don't watch it and are just talking out of your ass. As for the redneck sport, here's a P4P list, who would you consider to be a redneck here?

1. Anderson Silva - Brazilian
2. Georges St. Pierrre - French Canadian
3. Fedor Emelianenko - Russian
4. Miguel Torres - Mexican
5. B.J. Penn - Hawaiian
6. Rashad Evans - Black
7. Quinton Jackson - Black
8. Mike Thomas Brown - White
9. Forrest Griffin - White
10. Thiago Alves - Brazilian

that's a pretty diverse list of people for a redneck sport

its a redneck sport because of who it appeals to. I think its more of a meathead sport.

the MMA audience is definetly younger than boxing's that's true but just because it's share of black viewers is less than boxing's doesn't make it a redneck sport

Its called washing yourself. You get it if you keep your skin nasty and dirty. Should have cleaned up afterwards. lol


MMA is more difficult and more conditioning than Boxing though. Because you need to do more things than punch and block. So your entire body has to be fit and strong.

I am pretty sure you've done neither. boxing is 12 3 min rounds ufc what 3-4 5 min rounds.... do the math.... enough said.

I go to Mendez for boxing and somewehere else for BJJ. Box 3 days of the week and BJJ 3 days of thee week with sunday off.

I get a better workout int the boxing gym.

People in the boxing gym are much better athletes due to having more blue collar types being there. You can actually see the difference by loooking at the people in the gym. MMA gyms will have many more fat people. It is much more demanding to spar with someone than to 'roll' with someone. I can probably go str8 15 minutes without rest rolling effectively. After three rounds of sparring, I am already huffing for air.

MMA gyms usually attract more white people who just gotten turned on to the sport in the last 3-4 years, while boxers will have done it for a longer time. MMA gyms will also have people in there due to the image that the UFC has - They're there because they think it's cool. In the boxing gym, not so much. You usually don't wake up in your late 20s and say 'Hmm, I think I'm gonna boxand become champion' and actually do it. In MMA, the sky's the limit. Get a mohawk, tattos, ****ty boxing skills, ****ty BJJ skills and you can become champ just like that. Imagine, you can even become fat and champion. You don't even need to watch what you eat.

Also, people aren't as friendly in the boxing gym.

Boxers will **** up and mma'er standing up and an mma'er will put a boxer to sleep on the ground.

My suggestion is to cross train the boxing with jiu jitsu and also learn alittle muay thai, but don't concentrate on it. Just learn defense from kicks clinches and takedowns.

With your body type, I think you would be better off doing mma. You're too fat.

Forrest griffith, Chuck Liddell and Randy Couture are all redneck bums who lick canvas for a living and so are most of the guys you see on the show and so are all the contenders. None of them would survive the Hayemaker. Silva is p4p and just got battered!!! Lol. What a joke, his 5th L and I think 3rd by KO. Does that leave GSP? A Canadian is the hardest guy in the world? Get the **** out of here man! Lol

[SlimThug]

if you a ****sexual go to MMA

[lilevil]

I've heard many times that boxers dont tap out. no ****! there not put in a submission where they get there arm or leg broken. i have seen many times boxers quit. for any mma fighter to diss boxing and for any boxer to diss mma is ******. a true athlete and a true fighter doesnt go around talking crap about other sports. both require incredible conditioning and are two totally different sports.
