MMA fanboys' extreme hate for boxing...

I guess I took it as all MMA guys guys should throw looping punches to open up there take down game.

 

You know what the irony of this all is?
The athletes of both styles probably respect each other (and each other's sport) a lot more than the biased fanboys do.

I've read that quite a few mma practitioners are boxing fans, and many boxers are mma fans.

 

Just like Rampage vs Henderson and Crocop vs Kongo right? Those were so much better. atsch

 

Hey, everyone. Here's a little background on me before I get into this...

I've been following Boxing since the early '70s, and MMA since UFC 1. I love MMA, but I'm IN love with Boxing.

Ya feel me?

In my experiences, I've noticed it's usually the hardcore, modern day MMA fans that act this way towards Boxing. Their immense love for their new found baby, coupled with their immaturity....well....it naturally makes them insecure towards The Godfather of Combat Sports.

MMA has given them an identity to cling to, and they want that identity to be #1.

They figure that if ENOUGH of them LASH OUT enough against Boxing, that it will seep into the general consciousness, and their objective can be achieved.

It's really just an exercise in futility on their part though....Boxing is here to stay. It will never die.

Look what it's been through already..do you think thousands of young men with tats on their shins can do more damage than one Mike Tyson or one Don King?

Nahhhh.

and I'll quit there. There's room for both, and it's a bull**** competition. It's nice to meet you all....

 

The Hendo vs. Rampage fight was actually quite technical. Would be like watching a technical boxing match that went 12 rounds without a knockdown for me.

I found it an enjoyable fight to watch actually.

Thing is, I highly respect both disciplines. What gets me about boxing is the lack of worthwhile cards. Difficulty for matchups to be made in the first place that could be dynamite, entertaining fights for the ages.

In MMA, there is potential for them to happen every card.

 

hrmm

 

because the majority are all true
'Boxing is dead.'
'Boxing isn't real fighting.'
'A mixed martial artist will kill a boxer.'
'Boxers fight with 14 oz. pillows.'
'Fedor can beat Vitali Klitschko because he gets hit with smaller gloves.'
'MMA is the world's most popular sport and will overtake boxing soon.'

hahaha

Boxing is having one of its best years, but I guess its dying
MMA isnt real fighting, (Boxing is limited to only punches, because thats how they wanted it)
A Boxer would kill an MMA guy in a boxing match. MMA guy would kill a boxer in an MMA match, a "street fight" who cares who would win, way too many variables anyways.
Hrmm Thought they were 8 or 10oz gloves
HAHAHAHA
HHAHAHA again, MMA isnt even close to Boxing on the worldwide scale

 

i don't hate boxing. but i hate most boxing fans.
but i guess the same thing can be said about mma fans...most are just as stupid as boxing fans because they don't know anything about the sports they're shitting on.

 

I don't hate fans I hate people with close mind.
i like boxing, but it whould be also very interesting with mma gloves.
I don't know they are good MMA matches, and bad as in boxing too.
http://fight.bodoglife.net/series-5/episodes/02/ Edwards vs Masvidal has (i think) good stand up game.

 

mma is much closer to rea fighting
n mma fghter wud kil a boxer in thestree
they still ight with big pillows
mma will be bigger in a couple years

btw i love boxing

 

wow, learn to spell.

MMA of today is nothing like I have ever seen on the street.
Once again, way to many variables to call that. Also who the **** cares who would win a streetfight.
Let me hit you with an 8oz or a 10oz glove, then see if you call it a pillow.
MMA appears to be plateauing, so yeah, ok.

 

I like both, slight preference for boxing as a sport but a big preference for MMA as its organized (the best fight the best much more often).
