It's not that I don't see your angle...its just corny. It's not true that you only need a couple of things in Boxing to preform well. By you saying that just lets me know you havn't got a true understanding of boxing. While you do have to know more technique in MMA to be successful you aren't a true specialist or practictioner in every area. You spread your knowledge across a full spectrum of different forms of Martial arts. Whereas in Boxing you specialize in strikes by way of hands, you learn the defense and offense of how to combat and protect against punches, you use angles to find or make openings. Both MMA and Boxing have great contributions to fighting sports, you have to know EACH as their own....comparing the two as if they are the same isn't thinking logically....but what you prefer is just that...what you prefer. I like both, but prefer Boxing. You like MMA but you DON'T KNOW boxing so you bad mouth it.
Chess and Checkers like Boxing and MMA are two different sports....they are both similar in that they are combative and one on one but rules, players and strategy are completely different. There are limitations on boxing but that doesn't mean it's less effective.....More is sometimes less in many cases and sometimes More is better. Either way if you take one professional out of his element and into someone elses they wont do well. If a MMA fighter tries his hand at boxing...more than likely he/she will not do well....same goes with Boxers trying their hand at MMA...for the most part they won't do well unless they train in MMA.
So what does it mean when a girl, as many have in my presence, straight up calls the sport homo-erotic? "Who the hell would watch two men roll around on the ground together? What's that called? The missionary?" -A former miss teen new york during a UFC bout just last friday.
As much as I'd like to agree with you, I've actually seen some pretty good fights. Try watching Cung Lee -- no rolling around, hugging from him , it's all brilliantly placed punches and kicks. He's like a scientist in there.
Im confused, so MMA is gay because they grapple? I always thought being gay meant putting your dick in another mans ass :huh Also isn't wreslting taught in US schools? they often touch other men as a part of the sport, sometimes they even get on the back of the other guy, are they gay? My opinion is this, you don't like MMA don't watch MMA, I hate a film called Bongwater, I only had to watch it once to know I hated it, I dont watch it every month just to remind me I hate it then make threads about hating it. If you like boxing watch boxing, If you like MMA watch MMA if you hate either sport **** off and stop wasting your life posting about it.
That's pretty much how I scored the Rampage / Henderson match, 3 rounds to 2 Rampage. I can't understand why so many people are upset with this decision. So it went the full 5 rounds, every fight can't end in a knockout.
She happens to be a fan. I don't really know how many times in my football (american of course) viewing history that I've seen two men in the missionary position for more than 5 seconds.
"Chess is like staring across an endless ocean...Checkers is like looking into a bottomless well". Checkers is actually more complicated than Chess. Opening variations go on for dozens of moves.
I don't have to imagine girls my foreign friend. American football players are on the ground together for maybe ten seconds at a time, not up to 5 minutes.
Obviously less, I'd say. If you think checkers theory is simple you have no idea what you're talking about.
Sorry. I can understand how checkers can be pretty deep when played seriously however it cannot touch chess. This is comparing pool to snooker. One is the Daddy.
They require different skills. Chess champions generally look for patterns no more than eight or nine moves deep, but they're often complicated combinations. Checkers is open to much deeper number-crunching--Dr. Tinsley could go on for close to sixty in some positions. Having played both, I consider chess easier. The combinations seem to flow much more naturally.
I see you are a fan of Dan....as am I...I WANTED Dan to win...but being true to the sport of MMA I honestly can't see ANYONE giving Dan the nod in this fight. Both men did a good job but Rampage did More. Dan did NILL the last round besides starting aggressively...but he ended up in a "LOOSING" position at the end and that's enough to give Page the round.
