Re: People who like MMA...
Only problem with bobbing and weaving is that it's a great way to eat a knee, or to get put into the Thai clinch (and eat knees) and too succeptible to leg kicks.
He definately wasn't aggressive enough....he counterpunched a lot, and should have really stepped it up a few times. And he wasn't shelling up too often, he was using the "broken wing" defense (I think thats what they call it in CMA/TMA) where you put your elbows forward and forearm along the head to absorb the blows.
But he's a great representation of what a boxer gone MMA practictioner should look like and how successful they can be. And he wasn't even a big time boxer (trained in boxing, but never really made a living doing it). So if a guy like that can do so well with his boxing base, imagine a real big time boxer making the transition. It's only a matter of time before one of them does for love of the game, regardless of the money involved.
Boxing is like a handjob, and MMA is like a hot sweaty orgy with 5 chicks. I could never say no to a handjob, but which would you rather have?
