Boxing is the game where you punch dudes in the face

I never really understood the allure of it until recently. After playing some Fight Night and making myself sit through some matches, I'm watching everything that comes on HBO or Showtime or what have you.

Surely we have some people here who appreciate what it takes to be a real man and punch guys in the fuckin' head.

Also let's talk about Manny Pacquiao being number 1 pound for pound. What a badass little dude this guy is. Moves up to lightweight and completely destroys the champ. Anyone see this fight? Diaz should have just walked away after the first three rounds.

    Boxing is nowhere near as popular or as good as it used to be. MMA kicks Boxing's ass. And I have been watching Boxing with my dad since I was 10.

    Boxing is an amazing sport that I absolutely hate to watch because I cannot stand to see these athletes pummel each other.

    I still watch the occasional boxing match, and I make sure to watch Pacman fights with my family whenever he fights. His complete destruction of Diaz was ridiculous, considering the hwole moving up a weight class. He still looked fast as hell and awesome.

    Man, comparing boxing to mma is pretty dumb, so at least you know who's opinions to ignore.

    Because people are fucking retards who have to turn everything into a competition.


    I don't even have anything against MMA. I just don't find it particularly interesting to watch because, like so many other things invented in the bast 20 years, it seems to be primarily about "upping the ante" of what's permisable in the ring. "eXtreme" sports in a nutshell.

    My filipina girlfriend is even watching the occasional match with me now, too. Mostly because of pacquaio.

    Actually, this is the guy that really started the comparison:

    floyd-mayweather-jr.jpg

    You may know him as Floyd Mayweather. He hasn't been able to shut his tiny mouth about how much boxing is better than MMA, and how the average boxer could beat anyone in the UFC in a fight. Dana White has asked him repeatedly to come fight someone in a pay-per-view, but Floyd keeps backpedaling.

    Strange considering he's the one who keeps mouthing off about it.

    man Tyson was just big and strong and relied on the one punch KO, no technique

    as soon as someone stepped in the ring that knew what to do and could handle him, he fell apart forever

    I saw the ESPN interview where Mayweather was talking all that trash.
    Honestly, the dude's just a idiot. Of course he's not going to get into a cage. He wouldn't know what the fuck to do. It's a completely different set of rules and style of fighting.

    I remember boxing when I was like 6 with real gloves. My friend was like 8 or 9. When he hit me, the only thing I could do is laugh. I don't know why this is. I mean it did kinda hurt but it seemed like the most hilarious thing in the world. I guess I'm just mental.

    Perhaps I should look into the sport. I mean it might be rather demoralizing if someone was laughing at you when you hit them.
