As a boxing fan, do you like MMA or Pro Wrestling?

Boxing is my favourite sport,I train in a kickboxing/mma gym so I also love mma but if I miss a big Ufc event I dont really care,I watch it when I can.
Use to be a huge wrestling fan,literally obsessed growing up,lost interest in my teens and never watch it now,to be honest if you still a fan of Wrestling past the age of about 15/16 then your kind of sad..

 

Both because they are similar and brought me in.

 

Both are garbage - targeted to testosterone-fueled teenagers who don't know any better. When they grow up they'll become boxing fans.

 

Similar here although I will disagree about boxing dying - the scene is just changing and boxing will do even better as more markets like China open up. Watch more Australian and UK Muay Thai than MMA these days as less time and more core interest. Have not watched pro wrestling since the days of Randy Savage.

 

I like MMA and have found myself more into it lately

I don't hate the wrestling/grappling aspect but they have to work for a purpose

Too many guys just take a guy down and stay there like Koshchek, hated his fights

It's basically the same as John Ruiz

I think they should do it like free style wrestling if your on top for 30 seconds and haven't improved bring it back up

 

Ugh

 

Have always been a boxing fan. As far as mma goes, have only been a fan of machida. If he retires I don't think I'll watch any more.

 

Used to be a big fan of pro wrestling. Still would be today....had it not been for my 12th birthday.

 

I've been a wrestling fan since I was a little kid and still am.
I don't watch MMA very often.
I like K1 more, because the Dutch are very good at that.

 

Or maybe you're old and your generation will die off.Thus the sport of boxing will disappear there after.:hi:

 

Boxing will never die, kiddo. Fads like MMA come and go.....the Sweet Science is FOREVER!!!:hey

 

Is there any difference between UFC and WWE?All participants have glass jaws and are attended by fanboys and waana be's.
Perhaps UFC should allow chairs to be used in their matches to smash their opponents to make it more entertaining.

 

You guys been saying it's a "fad" since 2007 ; it's not going anywhere, so get over it.The sport has become globalized and expanding. The "sweet science" has devolved greatly my friend.Back in the old days ,guys like John L sullivan and other guys criticized boxing from straying from the self defense aspect into a sport of scoring points. You'll find tenths of stories of mma guys disarming armed robbers,boxers just get shot.Boxing just isn't practical in terms of self defense.Being the best boxer in the world is the same as being the best one legged track runner.

Boxing on average is more corrupt and worked like WWE than mma.

Exception to Cain ,not one of the other ufc champions has ever been knocked out, and there is a list of guys who have never been floored before.

 

Boxing is just getting better and better. PPV sales are thru the roof, while UFC and its imitators are already declining.

And how could it not be? No matter how you dress it up with the macho WWE-style bull****, watching a couple of guys roll around on the ground is just BORING.:yep

 

Soccer makes a lot of money and has a world audience but that is irrelevant to entertainment because it is boring as **** and I don't get why ppl watch it.



In boxing you got like 5-6 different punches .

Mma has that and more!!!You can bounce on the cage and throw a flying kick to someones face, you can throw spinning back elbows and kicks and flying arm bars etc the list of moves could go on to Jupiter.

Mma to me is total freedom to the fighter to do wtf he wants to do.If a guy wants to hold you on the ground and cuddle you all day,you should be a bad mofo and not let him take you there.If you want to invent a martial arts style of your own,mma is the proving ground for what works,it cuts out all the bull ****.

Almost everything goes besides 1-6 elbows kneeing down opponents ,kicking down opponents and biting, eye poking,low blow.

It's BORING to you!! Its educational for me cause I know very well that most street fights end up on the ground , and you better be ready for when that **** happens to you.

If you get taken down by a burglar on the ground he is trying to choke you to death,you're not gonna say to him "hey bro this is really gay,lets standup and fight mano to mano".This sport is as natural and non pretend as it gets.

So saying mma is gay is equal to saying gravity is gay.Nature is gay,
the growth of organism gay.
