Anyone watch the Fight of the century

[TN-popo]

MMA / UFC has taken a huge chunk out of boxing.

 

Arguably the best conditioned athletes in the world, more well rounded fighters, and much more entertaining to watch.

Boxing really doesn't interest me anymore.

Yes, yes and YES.  AND, obviously ANY boxer could whoop my butt, but a pro boxer [only] couldn't stand toe to toe with an equally experienced MMA fighter.  After watching MMA for years, boxing is boring.  

I've argued this with people before, and it's true, if it was fist against fist, a boxer would have a decided advantage because it's all they study but what can boxer do after he gets taken to the mat, gets mounted and has elbows raining down on his head?  He can bleed a good bit before the ref stops the fight.

Yep. 20 years experience in Taekwondo, Hapkido and Judo says a boxer is one of the best in the world with his fist. So either scoot back and kick him into submission or get close, head to the ground and show him what an anaconda prey feels like. Boxing is dead and is a sport for betting in Vegas, not for fans watching.

That's why I like Muay Thia. Give him (1) five minute round full of unchecked inside leg kicks and his calf would look like rare prime rib. Bell rings and he won't get back up off the stool. Edited May 8, 2015 by Caster
