    I think its time to distinguish between the HARDCORE boxing fan and the MMA Boxing fan.

    Many guys are stating that tactical fights are boring - not pleasing to the eye and needs more excitement. So that brings up the question are you a MMA\Boxing fan or a Hardcore Boxing fan?

    Because Hardcore fans like me actually enjoy very technical, competitive fights. Then again I've been into boxing almost all my life.

    The Hardcore boxing fan - can tolerate a tactical fight - perfect execution of the sweet science. If someone gets KTFO - its only adds icing on the cake. But a KO isn't necessary or even required to get excited about what's happening in the ring.

    The MMA\boxing fan - needs excitement constantly - otherwise its boring. They seem to require a KO, a knock down or something to get them yelling in the crowd or at the TV. A highly technical chess match in the ring drives them out of their minds and frustrates them to the point that they feel cheated by the lack of action.

    Which type of Fan are you???????

    BOTH.

    MMA has more going on.. stand up strikes; punches, kicks, elbows, spinning back fist.. on the mat; wrestling and submissions.Ju jitsu, boxing, muay thai..it's the ultimate.

    I think the idea of this thread was to insult people who appreciate the human bravado, guts and warrior attributes of boxing more than the beautiful technical wizardry of it.

    You CAN like both. There isn't a rule book as to what constitues a boxing fan. Let's not be elitist about something so trivial.

    Dude!!!!

    I don't know how on earth you came up with that:nut But, by all means, run with it.

    Clearly there exists a distinction between the two - If your mentality assumes it to be an insult, to state the facts that separate two distinct elements, then it is you who has the problem - not those who also recognize the divide.

    Well im a hardcore boxing fan but I do respect MMA there fighters train hard and fight in front of a crowd as well. I don't much care for ground fighting when they just dry hump eachother till the end of the round they kind of lay on eachother and take a breather it's like clinching in boxing it's part of the sport but it's boring to watch. Basically I'll always prefer a tactical boxing match to a great wrestling match a slugfest to a rear naked double anal penetration.

    i'm a full out boxing fan. I enjoy every aspect of it. Speed, heart, chin, power, technique, defence, offence, footwork and more.

    I even enjoy clinching sometimes. I thought Berto vs Urango was a good fight ffs

    Thing is I like watching the best fighters. Watching live I preferred Vasquez vs Marquez but on replay for me its Pac vs JMM all day every day know what I mean?
