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

MMA isn't a real sport

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.

Gatti-Ward Trilogy.

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

Good call on Gatti-Ward.

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.

R.I.P. Jake LaMotta

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

You've gotta learn about the sweet science, bruv.

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

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.
