I'm a fan of both. I don't get the hatred from boxing fans. To me they are similar sports, so it's mind boggling how you can be a fan of one and hate the other.

I hate golf, nascar, and baseball. Playing them is fine, but watching.... i'd rather watch paint dry. Still as much as I dislike those sports I know the people are athletes and have a high level of skill. I don't discredit their skill level, just dont want to watch it.

I watch both boxing and MMA regularly and if they are both on at the same time, I choose by which has the more seemingly competitive fight. I have been very impressed by how MMA keeps their fighters evenly matched more often and don't tank a fighter for losing a fight.

Boxing has more inflated records and less competitive fights. There's just too much build up, and one sided match making. So many undefeated guys who've never had a challenge. And a big part of the problem is the commentators. They make it seem like a fighter if finished if they lose a close fight. Too many guys are afraid to take a challenge cause their career is sidetracked. Fortunately the lower weights have less of this. Vasquez and Marquez, etc...

Overall, I like both. MMA gets me more tense. I noticed when I am watching, I clench my muscles and have to actually tell myself to relax. Boxing is a different kind of excitement. So I can see why some are turned off by the part of MMA. It's a different brutality to get held down and get your face beat in, than getting hit and knocked down.

Great post. I love boxing, and watch MMA occasionally. I think participants in both sports - in any combat sport - deserve a hell of a lot of respect. I think a lot of the resentment is the buzz surrounding MMA is detracting from boxing. A lot of the declining popularity of boxing should be attributed to the organizations and promoters, not at the feet of MMA organizations.

I give two thumbs up to the idea of respecting both sports.

Ummm have you met any MMA fans lately? Like the guys who like The Ultimate Fighter and Chuck Liddel?

I have never seen a group of people who so want to live up to the roid rage, tribal tatoo, gangster wannabe, angry rock loving, oppressed middle class emo stereotype....it's like they aim to be pricks.


I dislike MMA and the stereotypical MMA fan...I have friends who like MMA and think it's the greatest thing ever but I like boxing and won't ever switch sides

Our No.1 guy?

I actually believe he's a nice guy, but are you telling everybody he doesn't aim to be nasty?

I said the people that like him....hell look at Joe Rogan, Matt Hughes, Dana White, and next time you go out to the bar look for a guy weaing an Affliction shirt trying to look all swole up.


Is there a reason for their bad attitudes? Maybe. Is it annoying FUCK YES! OK we get it, you have the emotional intelligence of a 3rd grader and want to solve all your crappy life's problems with your fists.....you can't punch your way into a better world buddy

I get you again. But we get some real winners here too. Baller Magnum Jax You ever see those boxing for real guys? How about the video challenges for Baller? Come on dude, don't blame the sport for the retards that get too involved. I like a good tear up and there's alot in both sports. Some guys make MMA a lifestyle rather than a sport. So what, highschool heroes still walk around with their old football jerseys too. You ever go to a football game and see some of those freaks? Don't blame it on the sport. If you don't like it, that's cool but it just seems like your reasons have nothing to do with the sport and more to do with the people in it and that like it....

What a gem of a post!

I like mma and it has its fair share of very talented individuals. The one thing I don't like about it right now is that it seems to be attracting an awful lot of white trash fighters who are tatooed from head to toe. and the kicker is that Dana White seems to be prmoting that on shows like TUF. These guys act like pure dirtbag retards. the true greats of the game, however, the Mirkos and NOGs and GSPs and Fedors and Coutures, aren't like any of them. Those morons are hurting the image of the sport. That's the one thing that makes me cringe...not the beaty and elegance of a well exceuted BJJ or judo or muay thai game.

While the point you make about some jocks not being able to let go of their "Glory Days" (yes much like the Springsteen song). Those people do not make up a majority of the athletes in those respective sports OR a large enough part to create their own stereotype apart from the universal stereotype of the jock who can't get over being too old to play anymore.


MMA fans ARE pricks....I've seen and met too many people which fit that stereotype to think any differently about them.

Here's a couple of tell signs MMA fans like the following or things similar to the following:

I hate MMA and I pretty much dislike right off the bat anyone who fits the stereotype of the MMA fan. Guys grow up, you basically like WWE except maybe without any chicks in there

[El Kabong]

MMA merges the worst possible elements of boxing fans, wrestling fans, WWE fans, muscleheads, and middleclass pretty boys who have no fucking right to be angry about anything.....it's like why white kids in the suburbs like rap....it makes no God damned sense and is born out of anger and arrogance and ignorance.

While it's humorous, I still am wondering why the sport is too blame.

Seriously, wanna make a bet if more boxers or mma guys have something off of thugfashion? I am taking boxing.

Want to compare criminal records? Boxing again...

Even the promoters? Don King? boxing

Ever heard an mma fighter come up with stuff like Tyson? boxing

Press conference fights? Boxing....

Rule violations resulting in death? boxing...

Fixed fights? boxing

Post fight excuses or whining? boxing...

Ridiculous ring entrances? boxing...

Ridiculous names, Money May.............

You know what they say about glass houses.....

Really though Lyle, I don't think its mma you hate. You just need to find some different bars to hang out in. You know everybody turns into a badass when theyre drunk. Go to some that aren't "meat markets" and you'll probably find less adrenaline filled jackasses. I still don't see the tie in with mma. Thug life is boxing all day long. Look at some profiles of mayweather fans on myspace or just time in 2 google and see how many cockroaches like baller come scattering about...

That's funny.

I am not dissing boxing. I don't belong to an mma board. I love boxing, but just saying Lyle's argument means he turns a blind eye to one's shortcomings, not that they don't exist.

I get you. I hate a lot of fans too. I went to the Zab/PBF fight and I wanted to murder about a dozen idiots sitting near me. Anyway why hate the sport. It sounds like you hate retarded fans. Watching grown men punch each other in the face is great whether they roll around barefoot or run around with shoes on. It's pretty much the same for me.

As far as boxing having more skill, or strategy MMA has much more that you need to be good at. It's like saying theres more strategy in checkers than chess. I'm still a boxing fan. But MMA has more available moves than boxing. Like I said, checkers and chess. It really is.....
