So I was just pointing out that the UFC's assertions on boxing is wrong. That's all.

And I agree completely, like I said in the other thread, when I saw Dibella battling it out with Rogan, I cringed because I knew how ignorant Lou was and that boxing would come off bad. If it weren't for the level headed Bryan Kenny being the moderator I would have changed the channel.

All I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be boxing or MMA, the same way it doesn't have to be football or baseball. It can be boxing AND MMA. I'm a HUGE boxing fan watching UFC 71 right now.
agreed. Finally got a stream via vlc player, watching the Petrosian fight now
