    I think I'm the only person that actually follows boxing and MMA.

    And a Superman punch is like that becomes you fake a kick. Of course you'd never see a punch like that in boxing. If you want to talk about technique, that's a different story.

    Let's wait and see.

    Why do people keep comparing MMA to Pro-wrestling? It's kind of stupid.

    :good Good going Oscar!!!!

    **** up a boxing card with amatuer hour included.

    Boxing fans usually watch, buy, go to boxing matches because they are...........boxing fans.

    Oscar is a dip**** and I hope his idea tanks.

    I've watched this **** called mma and it blows more than some of the $5 hookers I've known in my time.

    People can feel free to love this if they want.

    But I get the feeling 90% of boxing fans think this idea eats ****** ****.

    MMA will be far better off if De La Hoya stays away from it.

    Boxing is a great sport but one dimensional. MMA fighting is complete fighting. MMA involves punches, kicks, knees, elbows, submissions, etc. I am surprised to see so may posters here that do not like MMA. I find Judo/ Sambo to be my favorite Martial art but the drive is too long. So, I considering training in BJJ.

    It's typical of a man who loves dressing in drag to get involved with a sport that constitutes two barefoot men wearing spandex short shorts in the missionary position with the manfeets in the air the entire fight.

    Why do people make the assumption that boxing and MMA share the same audience. I love boxing but I couldn't give a crap about MMA. All respect to those fighters but MMA does nothing for me. And how are they gonna change a square ring into an octagon and back again?:huh

    Here's another thing Oscar's forgetting. The undercard also works as showing off new prospects to new fans. If boxing shares cards with MMA is likely going to be big names from both sports and no new blood in either.

    David Haye claims not only that he can unify the Heavyweight division, he can beat any MMA fighter. After all he did beat Jean Marc Mormeck, so that is undestandable to think that.

    So, Haye could have his chance being promoted by De La Hoya.

    its ridiculous, mma fights are totally boring, i have trained bjj but these so called great fights turn out to end up being a one punch ko or a hug and roll fest with some ground amd pound
