I'll try and make this post as short as possible...
I'm a huge boxing fan that's never really been interested in MMA. I know this is almost contradictory as boxing has had more deaths but seeing people getting knee'd and elbowed makes me flinch a bit too much. It's a bit extreme for me, whatever floats your boat. I have tried to give it a chance, and I must say I was very impressed with the stamina of the fella Holloway in his last fight. I also won a ton of money on Brock Lesnar beating Mark Hunt - I know nothing about MMA but I couldn't believe the majority of MMA fans were picking Hunt after I watched highlights of them. Probably wishful thinking which happens in boxing too. A perfect example being the Groves-Eubank fight this week where all hardcores are lying to themselves in picking Groves. Eubank will destroy him. Easy money. Anyway, here is a few observations from a boxing fan to you MMA fans:
1: Mayweather/McGregor was a FIXED, I repeat FIXED, fight. I'm sorry to be dogmatic but cmon man, wise up. That fight couldn't have been scripted better. Mayweather got his expected stoppage against a novice & on the flip side McGregor won the first few rounds and landed more punches than Pacquiao. Reading the posts on here, I can't believe everyone seems to think there is some legit beef between these two. If you believe that, I'm sorry but you have something missing upstairs. Mayweather came to the ring in a fucking mask to basically tell us we were getting robbed. Then McGregor leaves an Instagram post afterwards claiming he was the orangutan in the circus obeying the rules. Yes, a circus indeed. Both of these men have huge brands & they know they can make hundreds of millions with each other. If it was a legit fight, Mayweather would knock McConor out in one round. if he wanted to play with him then it would be like watching a lion play with an alley cat. McGregor would be clowned so bad that his brand would be destroyed despite it not being his primary sport. Anything they do in future will be pre-planned, stop putting so much energy into it. I couldn't stop laughing at all the comments on here before the 'fight' suggesting Conor would lose his cool and put Floyd in a choke. These guys are business partners, not rivals. Cmon.
2. Lomachenko is not the best boxer ever. He isn't even the best boxer today, that is Terence Crawford. I love Loma but cmon, have you guys ever bothered watching Sugar Ray Leonard, Sal Sanchez, Hagler, Duran, Pernell Whittaker, Jones, Hearns, etc? Stop believing Joe Rogan Ffs. His knowledge of boxing is beyond dreadful. Heck, he thinks Loma is Russian.
3. James Toney was in his prime in 1992 as a middleweight & didn't have a style conducive to MMA. Couture beat a morbidly obese, so badly brain damaged that they needed to use subtitles for his promo, shot to shit, turning up only for a pay check James Toney in 2010!! Why do MMA fans always use James Toney as some sort of 'our guys are tougher than your guys' barometer. Pathetic.
4. MMA fans seem to have a weird obsession with street fights, and how MMA fighters would beat boxers in street fights. I'm sorry to inform you, but us boxing fans don't give a shit about fantasy street fights that should be the fantasies of only those going through puberty.
5. For you American posters, it's "I couldn't care less", not "I could care less". Man that is the most annoying thing. If you COULD care less then you must care to begin with. It's not hard.
Over and out.
