Boxing is a gentlemen's sport. UFC is just animal behavior.

It's a very different set of skills and rules. I was mostly just frustrated by how disruptive and limiting the rules were in this match. UFC rules makes sense to me; they let a fighter's skills shine. Boxing makes it easy to almost semi-cheat your way to victory.

Thanks, Coach. That thread is kind of a mess now, but I found a good one by digging around in it.


Yeah, I had them all opened up very early on and one lasted until the end of the main event.

I thought it was a very entertaining fight. Much better than the boxing experts claimed it would be. Saw this stat on Twitter:

Punches landed against Mayweather:

Canelo: 117
McGregor: 111
Pacquiao: 81

You should go watch some tapes from the 80s, Sugar Ray, Hagler, Hearns, Duran.

I think both MMA and Boxing are sports. Both are also entertainment, too.

That was a decent fight. Think the ref stopped it a little early, but still got a deserved winner.

Still better than what the boxing experts predicted. Some felt the fight should not have been sanctioned, fearing for the safety of McGregor.

People comparing the Alvarez-Golovkin decision to Pac-Bradley I are idiots.

The Pac decision was about 1,000 times worse.

Big matchbtoday, Ortiz Vs Wilder. Then Joshua Vs Parker later this month. Great month for heavyweight boxing,

Post subject:  Re: Boxing

Aside from pissing hot twice, Ortiz is the fucking man. Both men fought incredibly hard. Also, Wilder's footwork may be a tad goofy — and I don't know what's up with his windmilling hammer fists — but he has a great chin, a ton of heart, and cinder blocks for hands. He just might have what it takes to stop Joshua.

As for later this month; I want Parker to beat Joshua, but I just don't see it happening.

Hopefully Joshua beats both Parker and Wilder. Better boxer, heart of a lion, big smile, proper career.

Post subject:  Re: Boxing

I'll give you Wilder, but Joshua is not a better boxer than Parker; he's just more of a natural athlete, and has a more sophisticated PED cycle.
