    They even put a date on it, April 14. By the way, I got my Ring Magazine Clothing shirt with Oscar De La Hoya on it yesterday, it's nice and shiny. Just like his career.:D But if it's all over, I won't be too sad, he's had a great career.

    Not a big fan of UFC but I admit they are at least partly responsible for forcing Boxing to "up" it's game.:good

    I'm a boxing fan, as well as an mma fan. I just can't understand why boxing fans hate the UFC.

    I like good boxing, and also do like GOOD MMA fights. Good as in either 2 people going at it hard for the full time in MMA. Meaning not fight hard for 30 seconds, and then take 4:30 off to hug eachother.
    Sometimes I watch UFC, and hear the announcers saying "WOW look how good he is on the ground." Meanwhile it's just two guys literally rolling around with eachother on the ground for like 2 minutes. In that 2 minutes neither get holds on eachother, and are seriously rolling around, or just laying eachother!
    I'm like WTF are they watching?!
    Somebody like Fedor is fun to watch on the ground. He even takes matches that should be boring (that giant chinese guy), and made it one of the most exciting matches I ever seen.
    Somebody like Brock is boring as **** to watch on the ground! His match with Herrig was awful. he could have done anything he wanted....Submission, ground and pound, tea bag him, and the damn thing still went the distance. I was thinking "how was this guy in WWE, and how was he NCAA WRESTLING champion?"

    I'm with you, I can appreciate both, just depends on the fighters. Guys that leave it all out there.
