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.

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.
