Mike Tyson: UFC has surpass boxing and its more entertaining

[bzkfn]

Very true, I for one think its easier for the uneducated fan to follow MMA because no rules = no styles = no thinking. Boxing is and always has been "the sweet science", there are different styles, different ways to achieve victory and I (as a boxing fan) know and love that about the sport, I am a fan of Willie Pep and Joe Louis, Pernell Whittaker and Mike Tyson, Wladimir Klitschko and Arturo Gatti....the sport is great and it will never fail.

Coulnd't disagree more. The ground game especially in UFC is incredibly complex.

I know you hate mixed martial arts but can you not see the illogicality of your view that adding more fight disciplines reduces complexity?

Mixed martial arts is far more complex than boxing, how could not be?

Yes boxing has all the subtleties and it's fist fighting aspect is more refinedand well honed, but there is more to learn overall in UFC unless you think 1x1 equals more than 5x1.

Completely agree with Bilbo here. Lyle, I should also point out that what you say about MMA having no rules is now completely untrue. This used to be the case, but the sport has involved in order to fall in line with commissions and avoided being banned. So now, there is plenty to learn, and plenty to understand, and as a result has made it a little more complex than boxing.
