To those saying MMA isnt their cup of tea, fair enough..thts all good. But to try and hint those guys who fight for organisations such as Pride FC are sloppy and bla bla is utter crap. These guys pack in 8hrs a day 6days a week and prob train just as hard as boxers, its a living for them, its an art, a science, just like boxing is. When i first started watching boxing i was like WTF?!?! Once i began to understand the technicalities of it i began to appreciate it more and enjoy it more. To say two guys rolling around on the floor trying to submit each other is wack etc is equivalent of a noob watching boxing and saying two guys who cant simply KO each other..Grappling is a science also and once u understand the technicalities its a lot more interesting to watch.

To those saying kicking etc is girly, im sure the many ppl who train in such a sport and understand the science of it will be quick to disprove such ignorant comments.

With regards to striking in MMA, you cant have the stance of a boxer and keep ur hands up high for fear of takedowns and inability to defend low leg kicks...simple as that, its not the same as boxing...but u cant knock some of them guys boxing, and its great to see MMA fighters going to train with Pro Boxers in order to sharpen up their striking skills and we should respect that.

I think many ppl are only familiar with UFC and its stoopid redkneck fan base and paint the entire sport of MMA with the same brush. Look into organisations such as Pride FC where the fans also understand and respect the technicalities of the sport creating that enjoyable atmosphere.

So basically, If you dont like MMA fair enough, but to go knock these fighters who train hard and are amazing to watch is silly, im sure most of u lot who love boxing would sit back and think WTF if some ignorant person came here saying boxing is just two guys who just swing and cant even KO each other easilyand bla bla bla and it isnt to their liking so F boxing and F its supporters.
