Wow. The MMA world is in total shock and uproar after Ray Mercer knocked the **** out of MMA's Tim Sylvia in 8 seconds. MMA fans were calling this the "MMA vs. Boxing" as the bout was orginally going to be under boxing rules and Tim Sylvia joked how he would be beating the 48 y.o. Mercer at his own game while eating taco bell the day before. The bout was then changed to be under UFC rules, favouring Sylvia. MMA fans gloated how this was the beggining of MMA's world domination and swamping of boxing. To bad their boy (a highly respected MMA heavyweight) got knocked out with an overhand right in a savage KO. IT WAS SAVAGE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqK6yJaE4mY You have to understand Ray Mercer is 48, overweight and a total joke in terms of being a boxer. Oh but not in MMA, there he fits right in. The event was called "Bragging rights" Yeah. Say hello to the new MMA adrenaline heavyweight champion. Fat boy Mercer ahahahah. Even the MMA fans are admiting thier sport is in ruins... (POSTED IN BOXING FORUM BECAUSE THE NEWS IS IMPORTANT TO BOXING FANS!) MMA fans crying: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qPhlQF4Y4o&feature=fvw
haha, as always it's too different sports. I respect fighters in both. having said that, i don't have a ton of respect for the MMA fans i've encountered. they're cocky, have NO idea what technique and fighting looks like and **** on boxing routinely. MMA is an easy alternative to boxing and it's time they learned a little humility
"Mixed martial arts got knocked on it's ass last night." Gimme a ****ing break. Mercer did the world a favor by knocking that scrub Sylvia out. No self respecting MMA fan gives two shits about who KO's Sylvia at this point in his career. It's like boxing fans saying boxing lost all credibility because Joe Louis had to perform in wrestling matches after his career was over. Yay, Mercer. Thank you for swelling Tim's big ****ing mouth shut.
And to the OP - thanks for making ANOTHER thread on this that will soon be moved to the MMA forum. Cheers.
Why do people care what the MMA nuthuggers think? **** 'em. Boxing has been around for over a hundred years- IT'S HERE TO STAY. Just the amount of people on this forum shows you that boxing is as healthy as ever. Let the MMA fans be- who cares which is better in their opinion? I don't. You have to appreciate the skills of the MMA dudes but it's not for me; boxing is just to exciting in comparison, IMHO.
I Had to e mail that link to my Brother in law they always talk **** about how MMA fighters own boxers, infact after Mercer lost to Slice they made and even bigger deal out of it. I kept pointing out that Mercer was an old washed up boxer who took alot of punishment through out his career and Kimbo basicly had to resort to chocking the man to beat him. This right here is just a HUGE ***** slap in the face of my brother in law, I wonder if I will be allowed to go to the fathers day BBQ at his house after this:huh Ahhh **** it who cares
