I'm a boxing fan because it is a noble sport which demonstrates skill, technical ability, intelligence and wit. You don't have to like all forms of combat to be a boxing fan, what nonsense. Do you like bare knuckle fighting? Many people don't and would call it savagery and they would be rightly entitled to that opinion.
I trained side by side with keith thurman at wrights gym for two years, what have you done besides suck boxings dik?
You don't have to like anything, but you can't say things like " all that rolling around on.the ground takes no skill , it's just bullying.blah blah" There's many different types of grappling and most of them are Olympic sports, so to pretend like grappling takes no skill just shows how ignorant you are to the topic at hand
You held some crotch sniffers jock strap in the gym? Go and tell them on Sherdog and get your knob massaged.
What have i done to you? Lol nothing you're mad for no reason, you're a typical moron. You never boxed in your life and i guarantee you're fat. Keep it up fatboy
I never said it doesn't take any skill. Of course there is skill in learning a form of martial art. But it isn't strictly martial arts on display in the octagon, but rather barbarism. Since when do you see in the Olympics, men mounting on another man on the ground to pound their skull in while they lie unconscious?
How many deaths in boxing? How many in mma? That shows you which is more barbaric In mma you get rocked you get put to sleep, in boxing they allow you 10 seconds to recover so you end up taking more trauma while you're already concussed, that's pretty barbaric in its own right... And i have seen some brutal stoppages in boxing
It's somehow less barbaric in your mind to pound someone into unconsciousness while they are standing? You hatred of a superior sport has turned you into a nonsensical, whimpering fool.
Are people still crying that McGregor lost? Fair play to them, I would have gone into hiding for a fortnight.
Ahem: "Pankration (/pæn.ˈkreɪti.ɒn/ or /pæŋˈkreɪʃən/) (Greek: παγκράτιον) was a sporting event introduced into the Greek Olympic Games in 648 BC and was an empty-hand submission sport with scarcely any rules. The athletes used boxing and wrestling techniques, but also others, such as kicking and holds, locks and chokes on the ground. The only things not acceptable were biting, gouging out the opponent's eyes, and attacks on the genitals" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pankration
That isn't the point. Deaths happen as a result of the head being exclusively targeted not due to intent. Formula one has many deaths yet you wouldn't call it brutal because it is just one fo the risks of driving a car at a fast speeds however they do their best to minimise those risk as best as possible. Likewise the refs are there in boxing to protect the fighter as much as possible from accumulative damage which is why Conor was able to leave the ring standing on saturday night. Boxers go in there to outbox or knockout their opponent and are trained to avoid punches to the best of their abilities as that is the whole point of the sport. To avoid being hit. MMA fighters go into battle looking to inflict as damage as possible using any means necessary. It is very close to having no rules so it mimics a street fight.
What's embarassing is that a debut boxer not only was competitive with an alleged ATG fighter, but also managed to drill him for the first three rounds Good thing Conor's gas tank was pathetic or Floyd might have been dragged out by his heels
I think what really bothering you is the fact that boxers, as much as I respect them, are less proficient at rendering their opponents unconscious.
