I have never seen the appeal of MMA and Toney's recent conversion upset me a bit. Boxing is a far finer sport but unfortunately is losing out because of egos and an unwillingless to just get it on and fight. We have the Mayweather/Pac and Klitschko/Haye fights as prime examples. Stylistically boxing is the ultimate in contact sports (for me anyway), but the fans keep on getting short changed. I can understand why people like Bilbo are moving more towards MMA, but it's something I don't want to move towards. But boxing is getting harder to simply sit back and enjoy 'coz the fights just aren't happening. And for sure the undercards usually suck.

It's a shame really as boxing fans deserve better. It's becoming evermore sidelined except for the big fights.
