a current interview with a former boxing champ.
a current interview with a former mma champ.
you tell me. which seems brain damaged? which seems to have been more subjected to "barbarism"?
boxing is predominantly about punching each other in the head. it's professionals lead broken lives riddled with psychological and neurological problems. MMA fighters, not so much, because half the time they lost the "cowardly" way on the ground or with an arm bar.
SF's constant stream of rhetoric hasn't shown any more in this thread than the one i previously started. If 2 fighters agree to a set of rules that include ground fighting, 1) it's not cowardly and 2) it adds variety and entertainment to a fight.It's kinda cool SF is so nostalgic for the good ol' days and so caught up in ancient history for a younger person, but if he's trying to convince mma fans of joining him in his hate for it, he's doing a piss poor job. that IS your ultimate goal isn't it, SF? i can't think of why else you'd continue the rhetoric after mma has been officially defined as a sport.
MMA is chess to boxing's checkers. It's dented both boxing and wrestlings success and will continue to carve into both of them, because of both it's legitimacy and it's entertainment value.
i see a lot of SF's protestations akin to an Indian Hindu in Los Angeles protesting in front of a Burger King what horrible meat beef is to eat.
