You don't read the responses in this thread:

Old school boxing era, including Jack Dempseys era had 2-5oz sheepskin gloves with thin hair padding.

Jack Dempsey was one of the most brutal punchers in the history of our sport.

Go back to the mma forum from which you spawned, you cretin.

 

if you can't be confident and have self-belief anonymously on the internet, then i hope you realise you'll never have enough confidence to get a girlfriend or feel good about yourself in real life.

you understand that i hope.

i dont care what you see other people do over the net, if you want to follow them by trying it on yourself, then you're only making yourself smaller and smaller.

i feel very sorry for you because you felt the need to say something like to someone you wouldnt say face to face.

grow a conscience and some balls

 

Cool story brollack.

Thanks for your kind words, I'll be sure to tell my gf I dont have any confidence next time she comes by my house, probably later on today. :good

 

While I don't know if that claim is authentic, I wouldn't discount it completely because its not like gloved Boxing in terms of action.

In modern times there was the MMA fight of Kazushi Sakuraba vs Royce Gracie which lasted for 1.5 hours before Royce's corner threw in the towel. The full fight is on youtube too for verification.

And there were several documented bare knuckle bouts which lasted for hours.

Even fighting with gloves there can be fights which last several hours, we simply stop fights these days where as they let them go on in the old days.

The Greeks used to Box with hard thongs in the Olympics which caused tremendous damage (they trained with soft thongs) & still several fights by all accounts lasted several hours. They had a rule where fighters could opt to exchange blows undefended if the fight lasted too long.

The difference is in attitude, we celebrate losers who gave it all or think quitting is more acceptable. To the Greeks only winning mattered, if you lost you were shamed. That's why they crowned only one victor, they couldn't give a **** about silver or bronze medals.

In that society the slogan was "victory or death" & some like Arrichion literally fought to the death and were glorified for it (especially if they died young at a moment of supreme glory as Arrichion did), google his name.

Floyd would go more than 6 rounds with MMA gloves on because it would be even harder for most guys to hit him with the small gloves.

His opponants on the other hand would have trouble making 4 rounds since he'd be able to to bypass their guard much easier, thanx to those gloves.

 

i doubt thats true.

people who cant help but diss people online when they wouldnt say it face to face rarely ante up

 

i know its a noble deed and all that, but i fight professionally and the only way i could fight for 2 hours is if i had a beer and nap break at some backwater pub while some drunkard embellished what really happened

 

Why would I tell some unoriginal cretin troll to go back to an MMA forum, in person?

 

So because you can't do it, nobody else can?

Sakuraba and Gracie did, as he posted, there are many records of fights lasting up to 40+ rounds in championship fights, going way back when.

Sorry bud, but simply fighting professionally does not qualify you to dismiss a certain pugilistic claim.

 

People start fighting in a semi interesting thread because of nothing, only on ESB
