Didn't a big fat old washed up Ray Mercer KTFO of one of those MMA guys?

He knocked out a old fat washed up MMA fighter in what was basically a boxing match with 8 oz gloves. Ray also got his ass kicked handily by a very limited Kimbo Slice. Wanna try again?

It's simply different stroke for different folks, I think if you try to understand the ground game then it makes a lot more sense. If you have never been into wrestling or martial arts it will obviously seem like a lot of rolling around. But concentrate on some of the submissions it it can get pretty interesting.

Some have made slightly confusing points about people getting pounded and it being all that happens then the guy gets knocked out.....isn't that what we primarily like to see in boxing , one guy pounding the other for a knockout, only difference is they are standing.

In the end we all have opnions on different sports, if you don't like it don't watch it. I hate motor sports, so I don't watch, fairly simple.

As for WWE being more real........mmm

I would love to see Kimbo Slice get in the boxing ring. Mercer is 47 years old. He's been washed up in Boxing for years. All a guy has to do is trip the other guy, pound his ass and the so call fight is over. I don't see the skill in that.

Just b/c you are too ignorant to see the skill in MMA doesn't mean its not there. Mercer was your example not mine, that being said Kimbo is not a skilled fighter and Tim Sylvia is as washed up as they come.

I agree with VanChilds here, Sylvia is shot as it can be, perhaps he needs a 3 years pause to get back on top (perhaps) but for the moment, he just doesn',t get it. Mercer has been a bit lucky too, would Sylva have gone for the take down, it was over, MMA is more complete and gives you more tools in every different situations possible, boxing = extremely good only in some stand up situations. If you give me the choice, in a struggle for my life if I want to be a master boxer or a master MMA, I take the second choice within nanoseconds.
