Re: Boxing
lol... ya...
boxers throw 300-400 punches with heavily padded gloves
no one gets hurt
no one gets knocked out (you have a better chance of winning lotto)
its boring as fuck.... its like watching paint dry.
the ppv numbers tell the whole story.
mma is destroying boxing

Re: Boxing
As a former golden gloves champ I gotta chime in here, dude until you have been in that ring trading blows you will never understand period.
I also am into MMA and have studies jiu jitsu for many years and actually prefer to watch MMA now much more than boxing. This mainly is due to the fact that theres only 2-3 weight classes worth watching right now....heavyweight division is a joke...at least proffesionaly.
BTW the Pacqio fight. I guess the roids did help ol' Marquez power enough this time, but tbh they both are rumored to use AAS. Either way great knock out!

I never made it to nationals but when I was much younger I had state titles. 1984 Silver Gloves(147), 1985 USA/ABF(156), 1986 Golden Gloves and Junior Olympics(165). I found boxing really fun to do but boring to watch. MMA is way more fun to watch, they just need to get rid of most of the pussy ass rules.
I have been out of fighting for a long time. What is AAS? Trust me they will pay for the steroid use when they get older.

Boxing is a great sport, and it is just one aspect of an mma fighter's arsenal.

Re: Boxing
Hey Bong here is the trophy I PMed you about where I said I liked to fight the most.
I was days from turning 16 and fought at 156 then.
It was the only sactioned open weight tournement I ever fought in. After PMing you and remembering all the good times, I had to drive out to my storage shed and get it to show off. LOL I still have all the Medals from my titles, but most of the trophies from regular fights have gotten broken or lost in the last 20+ years.

I got so many of those trophies and a bunch of 6 footers and 2 belts (was PKC heavyweight champ).
I earned a living for about 5 years as a prize fighter earning most of my cash through old school toughman competetions...Nothing like getting hammered for 500 bucks lol! Goodtimes

Re: Boxing
In all fairness, they didn't fight bare-knuckle or with no rules, so it doesn't really apply. They did it under UFC rules.dconstrukt wrote:we ALL saw what happened when we took a boxer vs an MMA fighter... (coulture dominated him)
nuff said.
Couture himself said that he would've been a fool to accept to fight in a boxing match against a boxer...
And FWIW, I much prefer MMA myself.

Re: Boxing
Yes the old toughman contest were great. You would get to beat the hell out of a bunch of guys that did not have a clue how to fight in a ring and make a few hundred $ for a $10-$20 entry fee.weedhog wrote:Hey guys, I was a Indiana and a Kentucky state Golden Gloves champ (201+), I was a protege of the late and great Greg Page from Louisville...I was active 1991-1997.sam wrote:What kind of golden gloves champ were you?

The little trophie pictured is the one I am most proud of. The SDSP stands for South Dakota State Penitentiary, they had a boxing team for a few years till one of them used the ring ropes to escape.LOL At 15 I beat the F*ck out of grown men that outweighted me buy 50-150 lbs. that had nothing better to do than train all day every day. It was great to fight inside the penitentiary walls because that crowd appreciated a good fight.
