Mir did well, considering.

Was a sparring session, they both came for the payday.

One of the judges had it 58-56.
In pro MMA, Mir has literally twice as many KO/TKO losses as KO/TKO wins. He's chinny with no power.
Mir was more than 30 lbs heavier than he was at UFC 100.
The last time Mir fought for a major MMA title was 2012.
The last time Cunningham fought for a major boxing title was 2016.
Cunningham was in great shape and didn't need to cut weight.
Cunningham is the best American cruiserweight of the last 30 years.
I'm now interested in David Haye vs Rumble.

-Cunningham had bronchitis
- Mir looked done after Rd 4
- Cunningham said "I have compassion, the plan was never to go out and kill or stop Frank...our families have a lot of similarities."

Good points, Sherlock.
But most importantly you need your eyes and some brain power to see whats going on in the ring.

That Mir was getting touched up and Cunningham was carrying him?
Yes, saw it clear as day.
Also can add Cunningham was 44, a lhw and retired for 7 years to carry Mir who had 70 Ibs weight.

Every time that an MMA fighter does better than expected in boxing , you fools pretend it was a carry. Pathetic.

You don’t know the fight game. At any point Steve could have gotten Frank out. And Steve is a pillowfisted 45 year old who was giving up 75 pounds and hadn’t stopped anyone since Huck (when bush was president).

And Frank knew this. They both understood it was a gentlemanly sparring session.

Both are two wonderful human beings who got paid.

Ye ok a white belt is telling me I don't know the fight game. the weight is hardly relevant in a hw boxing fight, especially when its mainly lard. Under your stupid logic butterbean should have been the GOAT. Keep making excuses which is normal from butt hurt boxing fans who pretend MMA fans are more insecure lol.

There was that one body shot from Cunningham that looked like he took his foot off the gas after landed it

He also rarely threw any heavy overhand rights.

And one moment in the third (or fourth) round Mir actually got off a good shot and Cunningham spent the next 20 seconds putting it on Mir a little bit to remind him of levels. Mir responded in kind.

You are out of your element and don’t know the game well enough to understand what you are watching.

The type of come back id expect from a white belt. Now go ahead and explain what cunningham had to gain from carrying an mma fighter in a boxing match? Did he think it would enhance his reputation rather than hurt it?

I don’t get on a message board and get into arguments with nerds who don’t know the fight game.

He is 45 years old, retired for years, and was one of the few they could call as a late replacement who they knew would always be in shape and not embarrass anyone. There is no reputation. He’s a retired fighter who took a free check.

You truly are dumb af if you watched that fight and didnt understand what was occurring. EVEN FRANK DID!

Cunningham came out of retirement for a 6 round fight against an MMA fighter who was known to be respectful of boxing and of boxers. Is it really that hard to believe that Cunningham just went in there to spar?
 
Hang on so did he carry him or did he simply suck? Make up your minds what excuse you are going to run with. lul
