I'm just glad to see someone else post on this board :boxing:

 

[ELYEAH82]

I like watching fights. Living in Vegas I can see most of the PPV fights for free so I do watch the ones that intrigue me. Just not a fan of the corruption and multiple champions...

 

[SLY]

Theres corruption in every sport... I just love the skill involved in boxing. Not taking anything away from MMA, but I just have more respect for this sport, always have.

 

[ELYEAH82]

I disagree, I think the skill in MMA is just as important. Especially when you consider all the different disciplines involved in MMA.

 

[SLY]

I like the guidelines in boxing... MMA is a free for all pretty much. Similar to a street fight. Boxing takes more discipline.

 

[24seven]

What a typical adolescent argument. WWE >>>> boxing + MMA

Almost never watch boxing anymore. The culture of the modern pros pisses me off way too much. Was watching a classic bout last night so I felt like checking out the thread. Well done Sly.

Tyson is seriously off his rocker and had a horrible end to his boxing career, but in his heyday he was the baddest MFer on the planet. Seriously, I don't think anybody could have taken Tyson in his prime (around the time he knocked out Spinks in 90 seconds).

 

[ELYEAH82]

I like the guidelines in boxing... MMA is a free for all pretty much. Similar to a street fight. Boxing takes more discipline.

There are plenty of rules in MMA. This isnt 1985.

This thread sort of has an AA vibe, without the condemnation if you show up drunk.


My name is Fred and I am a seasonal, celebratory alcoholic; Summertime (fight nights) and Football Season. I can't get through the 12 steps without getting winded, so I'll just sit here and drink.

George Foreman, legendary heavyweight champion and rival of Muhammad Ali, dies at 76
