Boxing fans hostile to MMA. The "sweet science" defence.

Mike Tyson in his prime would have absolutely destroyed any MMA fighter in the history of the sport.:deal Too much speed footwok and power for any of them to deal with.

 

why try and go h2h on PPV dates...that's just dumb...as this thread has shown, there are some fans of both...why make them choose only one and risk losing ppv buys

i saw both fights, but i would have been forced to choose one

while i would lean toward boxing, others would lean towards MMA...so even if the UFC did more buys than the boxing event, it still would have done less than it's potential, if it was on it's own date, not sharing a date with another PPV event

 

Great post!:good

 

Your original post stated Boxing is an art and you questioned boxing fans as to why they don't think MMA is an art. Now that we answered it you're gonna eat some ice cream. Swell.

-MMA lacks discipline and foundations of a true sport
-UFC president has a serious agenda against boxing

 

Becasue he knows it would be easy work. The lack of proper punching technique and poor chins Tyson would have had most fighters beaten at the first press conference.

 

Tyson wins on bites?

 

MMA is not art. It´s watered down gay porn.

Pure boxers do badly in MMA. Despite what people in this thread have said, boxers don't cross over with any success. No boxer has ever held a title in an MMA organization. You'd think if it was so easy they'd cross over and clean up for some easy money.

Likewise, most MMA fighters would do very badly in boxing. The sports are simply too different.

MMA does not have the refinement of the sweet science yet because there's simply so much more to learn. Because of the restrictions boxers can focus on perfecting the relatively small number of tools they have. MMA fighters could pick a discipline and attempt to perfect it, but then they run into trouble when they fight someone more well rounded.

A couple of generations hence, when you get kids who grew up with a boxing coach, a BJJ coach, and wrestling all through high school and college, you will see a lot more skill in the cage.

Boxing, in it's early years, could be just as raw and ugly to watch.

It still won't be boxing, but why would you want it to be? Boxing is boxing, MMA is MMA, watch what you like, and don't get all butthurt when other people like something else.

 

He will also never let a white boy beat him.
