I consider myself a MMA fan first and foremost but Mayweather Marquez looks like an interesting matchup, and I'm very curious to see what Mayweather's got after a 2 year lay off. Oh and I can watch boxing for free at the pub and save myself $40!
I watched the Mayweather/Marquez card at my buddy rekcutnevets' hacienda, then caught the replay of UFC 103 at home. By the way - Belfort is back!
Was going to watch the boxing, but the tards running the pub I went to ordered the UFC card instead. The place was mostly empty all night. The place gets packed for boxing cards. So i ended up watching the UFC and it was entertaining, somewhat. Too much stand-up...wtf was up with that...every fight was the same...dudes come out swinging wild- one gets clipped, fight over. I was hoping for some submissions or something other than pure standup from amateurs. Crocop needs to hang em up...he looked done before the fight...he did not want to be there. There was one submission that was interesting...guy got choked by his own arm partially.
I can watch Floyd back away and jab methodically but boringly for 12 rounds, or get 5+ fights of action. I flipped back and forth, but once the obvious fact that JMM was a cherry picked small old opponent I really put boxing on the background.
This is ******ed cuz if you know anything about Floyd you'd know that his major critique is that he under-utilizes the jab (although he used it more tonight). Your description more aptly applies to Wladimir Klitschko.
I was up for boxing card from the start to the finish. Was an awesome card. Great great fights. I just wish some of the guys like Katsidis and Lock could get more TV exposure. Floyd topped it off with a marvelous performance. Excellent card from GBP.
I laugh at all the guys that said Franklin was going to tap Belforts ass. Puhlease!! Come on now man for man bravo for bravo Belforts one of the best talents MMA has ever seen. Rich is a nice guy but im afraid thats it.
You missed out. There were some excellent fights on the undercard. It was much better than the UFC card in my opinion.
