I just can't find the entertainment in it,I understand they're altheletic,well trained inmartial arts etc. I just don't see the skill in choking the life out of someone,hammer fisting someones head when there all ready down and out. They're useful defensive techniques not sporting skills
Every once in a while you see a coupla guys make a joint effort to keep it up on their feet and scrap it out. That's about the only time I enjoy it myself. That's just me though, to each their own/takes all kinds, etc.
Boxing doesn't lower itself to MMA and Wrestling, as much as MMA go around saying we could beat boxers, everyone knows it's a lie. Go grab a newspaper, look at the sport section. See any MMA results? No, because mma is not a sport, it's a joke.
Choking the life out of someone? Only the guys who have a true vendetta against someone will do that because most people tap before they are choked and the choke is broke because the fight is over. The punching when someone is out happens in boxing. It's the refs call. And in mma, you punch till you are told to stop. The idiots who dont stop dont belong to the sport. Mind, you, a lot of these hammer shots that come when people are KOed happen when people are hyped up and have a bunch of adrenaline pumping. Not sporting skills? MMA is a sport, so it is sporting skills, it all depends what you want to train in.
MMA is dominating boxing in PPV sales. And I dont know what news paper you read but the ones Ive picked up always have the recent results of UFCs fight card. The only boxing results I see are HBO or Showtime PPV fights. And yes an MMA fighter would most likely beat a boxer in a street fight. Ive never been in a street fight that ended standing up. It's always gone to the ground.
If some guy wants to watch 2 goons roll around on the floor together more power to them, **** is fixed and, just by watching the highlights it looks like gay porn..
I agree with a lot of what you say, but I know if I watch a card I'm getting a good 2-3 hours of well produced action. It does target the lowest common denominator though. Undercards are the key I'm convinced.
No papers do, neither does sports section on the news. anyone can fight in MMA, usually guys who arent good enough to box
You all are ****ing ***gits. Arguing over what sport is best, watch and follow what you like you damn ***s.
Anyone can box, have you not seen two idiots who post on our forum acting all tough? Anyone can do any sport, doesn't mean they are going to be good. The papers Ive read do have UFC results because UFC is the top level. The only other org I hear about in the news is WEC and thats run under UFC.
