Boxing Was Exposed - Time to change Marcus of Queensbury rules

[THE-06]

What's the point of learning to box if you can't even win a street fight?
So much of boxing technique relies on the use of wearing hulk hands and having the ref save you from the clinch. What's the point?

This was a wakeup call for boxing. Discard the queensbury rules, and Go Bareknuckle. If you don't they'll keep getting exposed by 15 and 15 mma fighters in the standup.

Why do you have to win a street fight to learn boxing? Although boxing is a martial art, it is a sport instead of actual combat techniques.

It's not so much "exposed" as it's just the fact that it's a different sport than fighting. It's obviously not fighting, the same way that karate or taekwando or any martial arts aren't fighting. Saying "what's the point" doesn't make any sense.

And have broken hands everywhere? Why does everyone want to go back to late 1800s combat sports? Those bouts were long and boring for the reason stated in my first inquiry.

I appreciate the sport, but it is niche and different for a reason.

And what is the point of fighting a smaller, long retired, none power punching guy like Paulie?

Nothing exposed except more cluelessness from newb MMA fans.

 

[voodoo chile1]

mma rules! just gotta wait for the older boxing fans to die off.

 

[Ancient Warrior]

Yeah, let’s change the whole formula because Malinaggi lost a bare knuckle brawl. It’s not like boxing has been around for over a century or anything.

Go back to the WWE forums.

Boxing is a sport
No boxer is gonna fight on the street like they're in the ring
Also, BKFC =/= street fighting

so when a 50 yr old mercer ko'd sylvia in 9 secs what was your response then?

 

[Dbreiden83080]

No Paulie is just awful. Where are the idiots that still think that sparring session was BS huh? Artem has been the punching bag of Conor for like a decade. Paulie was NEVER an elite boxer..

 

[XThe GreatestX]

honestly, this forum is getting a bit embarrassing tbh...

What does that have to do with MMA fans? The boxing fans said this was going to be easy..

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

We're approaching retard critical-mass!

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Tyson bareknuckle in his prime and he might kill someone. Plus he was a street fighter growing up. But Paulie LOL.. Yeah he is awful.

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

This fight has made Sherdog go full retard.

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

boxing is a sport...

it is great seeing all the "artem has no chance you are an idiot if you think so" people back peddling now though

 

[Nate banged my mom]

The millions of dollars you can make in boxing

You think Andre Ward can't win a street fight?

WTF is this logic?
Boxing with boxing gloves, mma gloves, bk are all different.

Chill your tits

Boxing as an art is great and its techniques are tried and true, but the modern sport of boxing is a complete joke.
