Looking at Boxing from an MMA perspective (Part 2)

[dagreatcapri82]

Boxing is more strategical and MMA is more entertaining imo. But as far as which is better? Thats all depending on the fighter. One guy from one sport cant represent all athletes from that sport because hes not all the athletes. Thats just like saying that because a pro football player played basketball and did well that all football players would do well. Thats bad logic. Plus both sports have different rulesets and both have pros and cons in each environment. Boxing is a tough, and mma is too.

i like mma and boxing but boxing is now so corrupted...and there's too many belts flying around!there's even a WBF now!i dont like gayweather but in this instance,i agreed with him in not fighting for a useless wba belt.but he should fight the pacman for his legacy to be justified.the pacman is secure in his legacy.what he can do to enhance it more is take the test...no more excuses for gayweather.

boxing is in the bad shape and mma is growing bigger, and may be ufc fighters are better couse there is more styles. But i still preffer boxing, there is nothing like a good boxing fight, (any pac man fight, gatti- ward, castillo-corrales) it's like watching a dance with a lot of violence. i just don't see it in mma.

but that's just me

I personally loved that old no time limit. I LOVED the purity of actually having a no holds barred, no time limits, man vs man, discipline vs discipline. It gives you all enough time to develop and work and get your act together and use your skills.

Yes, the time limits and the rules legitimized it but the sport has completely lost the purity and the original thought. ....just look at all teh boo's and stuff when you get a BJJ guy in there that starts rolling..... Fans are ignorant...

But honestly I do get a lil uneasy feeling with how much Dana and his matchmaker control everything. I would rather a system where everyone fights everyone.

[toddybottoms]

You make really good points all the corruption and BS that went on. I remember regretting ordering Don King fights because I always knew they would be unfair decisions and I always felt like the judges were bribed.

[toddybottoms]

I came to MMA just like you guys did. I was a VERY dedicated boxing fan, back in the days of Julio Cesar Chavez and James Toney as a little guy and Tyson and Holyfield, etc.

I still "like" boxing. I just don't find any boxers interesting right now.

I have been a UFC/MMA fan since UFC 1.

It's absurd to me to say that one is terrible over the other, Unless you are only in it for the violence, STRICTLY, then you should like both.

[toddybottoms]

I haven't listened in a while guys. Just wanted to say, I am loving the soud quality now. very good job. I am glad.

Boxing has a long history, MMA is still basically a baby.

K-1 in the past did have cross-over boxers in the past. Sometimes the kickboxer won and sometimes the boxer won.

Your previous video was posted on a popular boxing forum. Maybe that's why it has so many hits.

put "Pacquiao" on your description after a Pacquiao fight and you'll get hits! no pun intended.
