Media Dana on Anthony vs Paul

[prime_lobov]

Never should have happened in boxing. Should have been Power Slap.

I agree, CM Punk should never have been allowed to happen without working his way up.

And James Toney never should have been matched up with Randy Couture.

IDK, the fight was scripted at least the first 4 rounds. It was blatant that Joshua was carrying him and toying with Jake...pretty sure that was an agreement somewhere in the contract. As soon as Joshua wanted to him smiled and laughed at Jake while he hunted him down...up until then he just walked forward pawing a weak job out...nothing more.

Zuffa has always been in the freak fight business. Well into the 2000s, with fighters like Dan Severn, Tank Abbot and Royce Gracie well past their primes, instead of paying to attract the elite MMA fighters of the day - who were competing in Japan - Zuffa took the cheaper route, dusting off over the hill legends to fight for peanuts. Pay attention to the 1:16 mark of the video, where you can see Dana White scrambling to apologize to the furious former UFC matchmaker Joe Silva (the actual UFC 2nd in command) for not informing him of this move in advance. Silva felt it was a disgrace to feature these past prime fighters instead of developing or acquiring new talent.

Ridiculous scripted fight, at least in MMA the guy can take a real punch and let himself get submitted. Watching two meatheads try to act for 10 rounds in boxing is nauseating.

Agreed but at least Punk wasn't fed to the wolves.
