UFC 83 Card vs. Calzaghe-Hopkins

cola , then why are you posting here ? why do you even bother ? shouldn't you be paying more attention to boxing than wasting your time posting in the mma section of the forums? it's an inferior sport right ?...so why bother ?

 

Hopkins knocked him down in the first two minutes. Calzaghe did eventually win, though (W12). Ugly but eventful fight.:good

Now Serra time!

 

don't get me wrong dude. i like the UFC but i like boxing better. is that a crime?

 

The Hopkin Calzaghe fight was terrible. i love boxing but man what an awfull display of boxing that was. One guy came to hustle a win by throwing anything that resemble a punnch and the other guy was looking for any excuse to get a DQ instead of boxing.

 

this is the mma forum, cola. I think you're kinda lost...atsch

the boxing forum is just a click away from here..:-(

Im a boxing fan as much as an mma fan as well. don't go trolling here if you don't have anything relevant, positive and sensible to say.:deal

 

The boxing and the UFC were painful to watch.

Do the MMA fighters even train? Those guys looked gassed after 1 round of fighting, talk about amateur hour.

 

Some gassed worse than others. Lutter, for example, looked completely out of shape. But MMA is slightly more taxing cardio wise than boxing, since you exert a lot more energy wrestling than punching. Also, the rounds are longer. Boxing is more endurance over the long haul, but MMA requires more quick burst energy. I wrestled in the past, and can honestly say that no amount of training and running up hills can prepare you for just how physically taxing it is to pit your strength against that of another person for a couple minutes.

 

Well, Lutter is just horrid with gas tank. I don't know what he's thinking. I wouldn't even come out to an amateur fight if I knew my conditioning was that bad.

But like TKO said, wrestling on the ground take a LOT of you its very demanding. Basically, imagine a 400 yard dash but with every muscle in your body. You can't last long. It's impossible, unless you're Sherk and been taking "supplements".
