[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

[SherdogJoe]

MMA is the sweeter science.

TUNE IN AUGUST 26TH TO FIND OUT ALONG WITH MAYWEATHER!!!!

Because boxing snobs like to pretend there's more to it other than throwing hands.

 

[liljoe]

Sweet pea: proto Mayweather

Don't hate because your tiny brain can't process all the little nuances and set ups that are happening in the ring.

Yeah, feints and head movement are so incomprehensible.

It's all just throwing hands. That's why guys like RJJ can just win titles on pure athleticism.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

That Guerrero gif is exactly how I expect the fight to go.

Lol oversimplification

RJJ was the living embodiment of speed kills with a ton of power in his hands to boot.

Did you see Mayweather Mosley? After the big right in round 2, Mayweather knew Mosley would like to land the same combo again. Mayweather gave that opening to Mosley several times throughout the fight and whenever Mosley tried do what he did in round 2 he got hit with the different counter every time.

You'd probably mistaken it as Mosley trying to jab the body all night and paid for it. Boxing is a chess match, you're just too stupid to understand it.

Boxing is a chess match, you're just too stupid to understand it.

mma is chess.

boxing is checkers.

Just facts.

 

[TidWell]

mma is chess.

boxing is checkers.

Just facts.

yeah but dude boxing has been around way longer than mma, dont be ignorant iwth that foolish comment lol make you look like a guy who never watched fight sports until ufc.

Ill say this Floyd is the only defensive fighter I ever seen who maintained his quick reflexes into his 40s, usually these guys lose their speed and timing, Floyd might be on adderall though who knows

A lot of fighters take stuff.

Conor is unique in his own way he might shock Floyd. I still think Floyd should win comfortably if he loses its going to hurt his image and boxing. At this point Floyd doesnt need to fight his legacy is already solid

If I'm oversimplifying then you are overcomplicating.

 

[Jedi Judah]

Threads like this bring out all the trolls

 

[ICEibuPROfen]

Because boxing fans are under the delusion that boxing = fighting

 

[Ancient Warrior]

Yeah, feints and head movement are so incomprehensible.

Yup, that's why boxers have been fighting hundreds of pro and amateur fights for over a century, because "Its all just throwing hands".

Don't those idiots know you can just walk in off the street and KO a champ with a little bit of training?

Boxing is old....how is that relevant to what I said?

MMA encompasses boxing. Therefore you have to watch out for everything you can do in boxing PLUS legs, elbows, takedowns, etc.

There isn't an argument that can be made to show that boxing is more complicated or diverse than MMA.

MMA is MMA

Boxing is Boxing

That's a fact, what you said was an opinion that you wrongly claimed was a fact.

 

[phatron]

MMA is MMA

Boxing is Boxing

That's a fact, what you said was an opinion that you wrongly claimed was a fact.

MMA has more moves, more complicated setups, more disciplines to learn, etc etc.

MMA is vastly more complicated and complex than boxing.

Even kickboxing is more complex than boxing. Its boxing plus kicks and clinches and elbows....

This isn't rocket science. There are things in the world that are more complicated than boxing, get over it.

Trust me...the delusional boxing fans will try.

Usually starts off with
"They are both different sports and can't be compared"

Ends with
"Don't go to the ground in a street fight"

MMA is MMA

Boxing is Boxing

That's a fact, what you said was an opinion that you wrongly claimed was a fact.

And so it begins (again)

 

[thechoice2]

MMA has more moves, more complicated setups, more disciplines to learn, etc etc.

MMA is vastly more complicated and compelx than boxing.

Just like chess is more complicated than checkers.

Even kickboxing is more complex than boxing. Its boxing plus kicks and clinches and elbows....

This isn't rocket science. There are things in the world that are more complicated than boxing, get over it.

And it's still not chess and boxing isn't checkers. You're trying to hard to make analogies between combat sports and board games.
