    Oh, you again, huh? You're starting to be not so much fun...sorta.

    Possibly. But, then again, I'd guess you actually have to have wrestled to know what might happen.

    Bloody noses? Possible. Broken ribs? Possible. Broken jaws? Possible.

    Black eyes? Possible, but far less likely.

    Now, are they as common as in boxing? Of course not.

    Now, if you want to bring up things that are far more likely to occur in wrestling, then you have permanent spinal damage, broken legs/ankles, paralysis. There are things that can happen in both, but you see the point...I hope.

    Now that's not even bringing up what can happen in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but I hope you're smart enough to not try and argue that...Will save me alot of typing and you some semblance of face.

    Man you really have no idea. I used to get bloody noses in every other match in high school. Also broke a couple of ribs and had multiple problems with my knees and elbows.

    Why do you insist on spouting off about something you clearly don't understand?

    No, you are as usual incorrect. If you make a split second mistake in boxing you get punched in the face, if the same thing transpires in wrestling there is more room for error, a little more time negate the errors impact. It is merely down to the nature of the arts. I already stated that they are both very difficult to master, as is the case with mastery of anything.

    I'm getting pretty tired of your insults and crying to be honest, it's pretty childish. I haven't insulted anybody, i train Muay thai, boxing and judo and of the three i find Judo the most intuitive. You train mma, whatever the hell that is? Is that like training ufc? So you are entitled to your own opinion i guess.

    No, if you make a split second mistake in boxing, the near worst thing that happens is you get hit in the face. You're making it as if whenever you make a mistake in boxing you get hit in the face, and that clearly isn't true.

    Same as in wrestling if you make a mistake it doesn't always lead to you getting thrown to the ground (and depending on the throw, can hurt quite a bit more then any punch, and can lead to far more devistating consequences).

    And we were not even debating the consequences of an error, but the idea that an error is less "forgiveable" in one then another. I argued that it's damn near impossible to argue that seriously, and gave my reasoning for it.

    So, a nice attempt, but change your perspective and look again.
