You call that boxing? That fight was pathetic. They looked like 2 pub drunks having a ruck. Meanwhile Rogan came 20 times and proclaimed it was as good as Morales Barrera... Yeah ok Rogaine... :roll:
Ive always ranked Wanderlei vs Rampage II the best although Miguel Torres recent fights vs Mizugaki and Maeda deserve some mentions.
Lots of great fights being mentioned here. I always have a hard time choosing just one as my favorite - but there are certain fights that I enjoy more than others over the years. I like GSP vs Penn 1 because Penn really brought out the best in GSP. The fight wasn't an all out brawl - but it was a great display of mixed martial arts with both men doing everything in the book - but GSP did just that little bit more to secure the win. And my all time personal favorite has to be Cung Le vs Frank Shamrock. Le put some of the sweetest kicking combinations on Shamrock that I've seen in MMA. Le doesn't have the one kick destructive power of a Crocop or the speed and power of a Manhoef - but he attacks smoothly with kicking and punching combinations from all angles.
:good:good:good It;s just too bad that Cung went into movies for the past year. Whenever he comes back to MMA he's going to be rusty as hell. Making movies is always the kiss of death for fighters. :twisted:
Exactly. It's not like Gatti/Ward was a display of skilled pugulism. Blood and guts battles are always entertaining - as with the aforementioned Frye/Takayama fight.
Well no, I was gonna get into the fact that they boxed basically bare knuckle for 15 minutes, landing alot and none of the shots were especially damaging :deal Jardine showed us what happens when Griffin gets hit clean with a "real" punch, Rampage dropped him too. Bonner hit him with 2,000 pitty patty punches and didn't rock him once.
