    yes being called 'gay' has been funny for generations,after all the true meaning is 'happy':smooch

    if some politically correct morons wanna moan about it,then so be it,to me,calling something 'gay' is funny:thumbsup

    and im with that old **** icemax,like ive said before,i enjoy the fighting when stood up but when butt clinching,its 'gay':deal.

    the only good MMA is the top class stuff,the grass roots MMA/cagefighting lot are just thugs/bouncers/roidheads who like smashing things:vonnecunt

    id prefer to watch a amature show than that basic stuff,just glorified street fighting:bbb

    I have a sense of humour but you don't come off like your joking. You sound like you are serious and when there are so many idiots who actually think it is true then its hard to see it as a joke

    Exactly this. To be honest to really enjoy the technical side of grappling I think you actually need to do it yourself.

    Maybe the same with boxing but I do box.

    It would create a different skill set. Naturally, a boxer would go for a clinch and mask a takedown.

    If boxing had the same fighting system of MMA where more of the best fight the best with less gimmes then boxing would be littered with more upsets and more journeymen.

    Never said your able to take down your opponent more when the guy is knocked down, could what would happen if you were allowed to finish it by hitting them in the head whilst on the ground or whilst they tried to get up.

    Doesn't matter what is and isn't allowed. Fighters would develop legal or illegal skills just like clinching, low blows, falling into their opponent etc

    What happens if you hit the downed opponent on the back of the head. Fighters would literally put their face down and fake fouls to get out of it. They'd pretend to fall out of the ropes etc.

    UNLESS it was like back inthe day when refs let a **** load slide and with the small gloves if the guy goes down its much harder for him to survive.

    Just about landing more follow up shots and the opponent is done.
