Thread: The loudest snobs I've ever heard!

If you mention MMA to some boxing fans, their mouths disengage from their brains, and boxing snobbery appears.

Boxing and MMA are different, no one argues with that, but some boxing fans believe that there's the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and then boxing, and MMA is down there below those specks that flies leave.

Give us the reasons you like or dislike MMA.
Here are my reasons. MMA fights happen at a faster pace, 9 out of 10 times. MMA fights showcase the fighters athletic ability more than boxing. MMA is still evolving, you can be sure to see something new on a regular basis. MMA cards offer more exciting fights.
Why do I watch boxing? I grew up watching boxing, I think I understand what's happening in a boxing match as well as most fans. I like the simplicity of boxing; two guys, four fists, a referee, basic rules that have been the same for years. I like punchers, boxers, boxer punchers, counter punchers, flying fists, big hearts, legendary trainers and corner men, and boxers, some great and some not so great.

I'm a boxing fan but I like MMA too!

MMA is dire...it's alot of under trained PED users who have found a way of earning a living,.,a bunch of mest heads who would struggle winning an area title in boxing...ala Kimbo bimbo

Too much gay carpet munching action for my liking and should be kept under ground

job biscuit (that's all)!!!

eh eh!!!

I'm a boxing fan not a snob, MMA has it's place if you like it it's okay with me, it's down to taste
if we all liked the same thing, it would be boring I've watched MMA sorry but I don't find it
exciting call me old fashion.

I find a lot if MMA fighters are scared to take a punch and just rush in to hold and try to get to the ground, leading to two greased up guys grinding each other for 15 mins. Not very entertaining. Also the fights get stopped so quickly that I u land one lucky punch the opponent is not giving the chance to recover, which means your less likely to have a Great War if a fight.

Look, nobody likes getting hit in the head or anywhere else.
I hear what you're saying about boring MMA fights, but there are as many boring fights in boxing.
There's very little padding in those MMA gloves, so they can do a lot of damage very fast.

MMA is a better sport to watch than boxing if your uneducated in arts of it. If you want jaw dropping, bollock bashing, blood squirting action then MMA is for you.

Boxing has much more finesse and art to it. One does not simply run in for the kill.


MMA has one downfall and that's grappling. Fighters tire far to easy because the grappling and ground hugging (Or man love) takes up 80% of their energy. So fights become dull during and after grapples.


Personally I prefer boxing. I can watch MMA, granted. But I love the finesse and mental ability boxers have to use to draw up a plan and execute it at the right moment, with limited possibilities of ways to stop the opponent.

To much grappling for me and rolling around on the ground. Bar fight in a cage. K-1 blows it out of the water.

I don't mind mma but boxing is indeed the grown up in the room of the two. Mma is a babe in the woods and still cutting its teeth and learning more and more that in any mass promotion and corporate mentality divas are created and its not all easy sailing. Also Joe Rogan has to be one of the most oddly formed and uncomfortable humans I've ever seen on camera.

I will give a huge Well done to Mma in that at least it gives its ring card girls equal billing, camera time and the absolute shortest shorts known to exist

Rogan uncomfortable? I'm not understanding that, do you mean he makes you uncomfortable?

He is always looking to pounce and shout into a conversation and has this odd thing of a mouth tic, like hes mouthing what he is going to say before he says it. Not to mention a voice like glass being shattered. If that makes sense

I think I've just described the last two guys who came into boxing on the mic from mma? Renallo (?) and Gus Johnson from Showtime?

Kimbo didn't make it in the UFC.

He should never have even fought in the UFC, he should have never made it higher than one of the several mickey mouse MMA outfits out there.

Dana White let him fight in the UFC because he was after the Youtube hype, but IMO he reduced UFCs stock a little in doing so.

Clowns should only be allowed in circuses.

I just don't like the sport

Something about hitting a man when he's down doesn't sit right with me!

Goes against the grain, I know what you mean.
The more you learn about MMA the more you'll enjoy the ground game.

White doesn't make a lot of mistakes.
