boxing is so boring to me now that ive been watching ufc.

 

i'm hearin' ya, but dude, this isn't just any old fight, this is THE boxing fight of the last couple of decades. i'm not missing this fight for nothin'.

 

 

i have no idea who takes this, it's seriously fucking awesome. mayweather will toast him if he imposes his rhythm and oscar can't fuck with the speed, but if de la hoya can keep him off balance with his jab and land that left hook it's lights out.

 

i am sooo psyched for this fight.

ufc is cool, but i like boxing better i guess because i grew up watching it and my dad boxed

 

i'd like ufc better, but ufc tends to have acquired that same redneck atmosphere as WWE and NASCAR.

 

that will change. people just aren't educated on mma yet. once the general population starts understanding the skills, the rednecks will drop off and you'll be left with the hardcore fans that understand it, just like boxing.

I dunno about MMA. I know it's extremely disciplined and subtle, but the end result still looks pretty much like two guys brutally bashing the living shit out of each other. It's been growing in popularity and sophistication, but it still doesn't feel like a "sport", the way boxing does. There's an elegance and rhythm to boxing that comes from what the competitors are limited to doing that makes it stand out. It's still two guys bashing the shit out of each other, but it feels somehow above that.

 

That said, I'm gonna go ahead and say it... this fight has potential to completely suck dick. I was ultra pumped for it before, but the more I think about it, the more I feel like it's gonna be 2-3 rounds of distance and measuring each other up, followed by a grapple fest where nobody really lands significant blows throughout the entire fight until Mayweather wins by decision for having landed more jabs. I hope I'm wrong.

i hope de la hoya fucks his ass up. mayweather is one cocky motherfuker. on the show 24/7 all he does is talk shit, and his whoel family is like anti-mexican. what a bunch of pricks. they all swear theyre gods gift to earth. de la hoya on the other hand is more down to earth and is much more mature abotu shit. mayweather has speed but if hoya can take the speed then mayweather will look like he just got knocked out by kimbo, an eye poping out n shit. HOYA FTW!!!

I miss when UFC didn't have weight classes.

 

i remember seeing the first UFC. UFC 1. this was like in '94 or '95. i liked it because it reminded me of street fighter 2. in fact i thought SF2 was where UFC originally got its inspiration from. you had sumo wrestlers fighting amongst boxers, kung fu black belts, kickboxers, karate, and i think even some fool that did capoeira

 

and what was cool was that they all dressed like their martial art. boxers wore gloves and shorts, sumo wrestlers wore that diaper looking shit, kung fu dudes wore gi's, etc.

 

now all UFC fighters dress alike and wear those gay tight spandex shorts

i know alot of people feel this way, but this is the reaction to a sport in it's infancy. boxing wasn't exactly considered a sport for a long time either. i personally don't think there is anything less elegant about a thai boxer, even though it is decidedly more brutal. alot of mma fights these days are essentially kickboxing fights with very limited grappling. grappling on the other hand can be boring for sure and isn't exactly elegant, but if you have even a little bit of knowledge about it, it's got it's own beauty and is basically chess. again, it's a very young sport and it's going to take time for people to get up to speed and accept it as a 'sport'.

I think there's definitely elegance in the stand up fighting and even the grappling, but when a lot of the fights end up with one dude on top of the other straight bashing dude's face in, it kinda takes a step backwards. It really becomes about just violent and total overpowering, finesse goes out the window.

 

It's definitely come a long way though... like Theo, I remember watching the very first UFC's, and that was on some fucking crazy pit fighting shit. Just straight craziness. Now I look at it and it definitely has a more sporty attitude.

Re: De La Hoya VS Mayweather

 

de la hoya will probably just run away for 12 rounds so he doesnt breach his modeling contracts.

 

He does that most of time, dude is good but he runs a lot..Did anyone watch that fight against Felix Sturm (I Think it was him)??..DeLaHoya was running and dude had him on lock with them jabs..It was clear that he had won the fight but at the end DelaHoya won by decision..When they pull him to the side for the interview, he was fuken speechless cause he knew he had lost that fight..Fag..

Re: De La Hoya VS Mayweather

 

I'll be taking mayweather.. De La hoya's on his way out, in my opinion. And the offshore book that i use currently has Mayweather at -225 and De La Hoya +175 For all you smart guys thats if you bet 100 on mayweather and lose, you lose 225..vv

 

WHAT? THATS THE LINE ON THIS SHIT? NAHHHH...THAT SHIT IS GONNA CHANGE 5 MINUTES BEFORE THE FIGHT START B. I DONT REALLY CARE WHO WINS, I JUST WANNA SEE THIS SHIT GO THE WHOLE 12 AND NIGGAS BUST EACHOTHER DOWN. I NEED TO SEE A KO :D

They put so much money into promoting this thing.

 

Best fight in like the last 5 years.

 

De Le Hoya will win, forcing the rematch, Floyd will win the rematch, then they will have a rubber match, which Floyd will win.

 

All obviously prearranged.

 

They will get crazy paid off of this, and in the end Floyd will rightfully come out on top, and everyone will be rich.

watching ultimate fighting is basically softcore gay porn.

two dudes laying on the ground cuddling is not cool.

 

YO DEAD ASS!!! I WAS AT MY DUDES CRIB A FEW MONTHS AGO WHO I HADNT SEEN IN YEARS AND NIGGAS WERE WATCHIN THIS SHIT...HOMIES WAS PUNCHING EACHOTHER FOR EXACTLY 3.2 SECONDS, THEN THEY GET ON THE FLOOR IN SOME KAMASUTRA POSITION AND HUG EACHOTHER MAD HARD FOR 15 MINUTES, THEN ONE NIGGA TRIES TO GET ON TOP OF THE OTHER NIGGA ETC ETC ETC UNTIL THE BELL RINGS. MEANWHILE JOE ROGAN IS LIKE "AMAZING BACK ENTRANCE"..."OH WOW HE'S REALLY RIDING ON TOP" AND SAYING THE MOST GAYEST SHIT I DONE EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE. THEN I LOOK AROUND AND IM LIKE "REMIND ME NEVER TO CHILL WITH YOU FUCKING LAMES" THEN I GRAB THE FULLEST BOTTLE OF ALCHOHOL AND SNATCH THE BLUNT OUT A NIGGAS MOUTH AND GO CATCH A CAB.
