Doby, you're making a Class-A arse of yourself. I happen to hate golf. Their skill-set is extremely impressive for their boring sport, however. :yep
what's the skill set in punching out someone with a lucky haymaker WITH 4 ounce glvoes. i don't care if im drunk as ****. its the truth.
The difference is they get in the ring...and guys like you don't. No-one will get a pay per view of you jerking off at home when they can pay to watch two guys fight. Theodore Roosevelts' quote sums it up best: It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. :deal
The skill set is in avoiding the punch, counter-attacking, maybe being the one who commits to that haymaker being mindful of the fact that your opponent is allowed to tackle you... I'd say the sport isn't your cup of tea, but they're not talentless hacks. They're skillful, hard-working fighters.
George's and Joe Daddy's ground war was extremely aesthetically pleasing to me today, much more so than most boxing borefests I've witnessed as of late. But I do see how it can be boring to someone who is not familiar with the grappling arts. On a side note I really couldn't understand Herb Dean telling George to work when he was obviously trying to improve his position, there wasn't any pressure coming from the crowd to stand them up either.
That the UFC heavyweight division is not as strong as it's other divisions? That Lesnar is a great athlete who adapted to the UFC/MMA very quickly? A combination of both I guess.
Wishing you all the very best with your MMA career, Jimmie!! P.S We know that the only people who slag off MMA (And most sports in general) are "Non-participants" so whilst I respect the guys right to voice his opinion, who cares what he says? Just don't go smashing up your computer screen Jimmie, your posts are always a good read!!.
