Heh, yeah, maybe so. However, from what I can tell, you follow the fights closer than I do, so what's that make you?Buzkashi wrote:You guys are fanboys though....

Doing so basically commits yourself to your punch regardless if its going to be off the mark, while rendering you unable to move and avoid a counter even when you know or see it coming. An overhand right in these situations by an opponent is gonna be your worst night-mare under these circumstances.Starnum wrote:Yeah, from everything I've learned, you don't really want to stand flat-footed that much when you're striking. Anyway, I figured Kimbo would win, but damn, I though the fight would be longer than that.

It's easy for you to have perfect form if you're standing in front of a mirror practicing, but in a fight like those you don't have the same luxury.Buzkashi wrote:For the most part striking in MMA is a joke. With the exception of a few people everyone "fights like they are 4 year old school girls".

- You come off as a bitter fan of a dying sport. I consider myself as big a fan of boxing as anybody. For a period of close to 4 years, I trained as a boxer 3-4 times a week over 2 hours a day, and have fought over 15 amateur fights (only losing to those who went on to fight professionally).Buzkashi wrote:Shaka,Princess:

Now that thats out of the way. Floyd Mayweather would beat the living dogshit out of anyone in the welterweight division of any MMA league.
Get the fuck off mixed martial arts dick and and open your eyes. I've watched a lot of MMA in my day and just about anyone with eyes can see that the striking is sub par at best. Almost every punch is wild. Jabs are non existent. And for the most part people learn basic striking so they can get in close enough to take down.
Though I agree that the vast majority of UFC fans are bandwaggoners looking to get in on the latest novelty. Its no suprise that the UFC had TUF debut following Monday Night RAW when it was on Spike. If you go on MMA sites 99% of people there are gnubs who clearly know little about the sport itself(though everybody's an expert). Nor do they realize that elite MMA is more than just the UFC, many people equating the UFC as a sport rather than a simple brand. I don't like how the UFC markets its product to the lowest common denominator, but MMA is a great sport IMO. Though the UFC's policy of cashing in on a trend and treating its athletes like shit, is not good for the sports health (in this part of the world).It just gets me sick to my stomach. Now that UFC and Pride became popular people been jumping on the bandwagon and only watching mma thinking that its some ultimate sport.
Perhaps Buzkill needs to watch some Anderson Silva or Melvin Manhoef fights.Shaka Zulu wrote:Buzkashi wrote:For the most part striking in MMA is a joke. With the exception of a few people everyone "fights like they are 4 year old school girls".
You must get your asskicked by the 4 year old girls all the time then.
Well you might as well be quoting from Bob Arum with your ridiculous comments.........Buzkashi wrote:Like I said there are exceptions, but the vast majority of MMA fighters just dont strike ( or as some like to call it fight) well. You can go into any boxing/mma club and just watch. You tell us you've been training for years so you should know. I'm not dull, I understand there are other components in MMA I'm just saying its a dirty sport. You rarely see mastery of anything b/c everyone is trying to learn 3 or so different martial arts. Your basic mma fighter has a sub par boxing/kickboxing game, a decent wrestling game, and a decent bjj game.
I really disagree with what you said about Floyd though, and boxers in general. MMA fighters throw sloppy punches, and shit most of the time if someone lands one clean combo the fight is pretty much over. I mean is it me or is Fedor the only guy with a chin? People just drop in the MMA and boxers, well the pro's punches are so precise and they can throw sooo many more. I've wrestled also, i know fully well how physically difficult it is. But pro boxers training regimines are much more rigorous than the average pro mma fighter. The boxers are training for 12 rounds. Shit you see fights where people land 100+ punches. Can you imagine getting punched 100 times without headgear by a world ranker? Now imagine that with those MMA gloves. A boxer would to win easily would have to learn basic kick and takedown defense and the fight would be his. Shit just look at AA's last fight(or one of his last fights). He was fighting Fabricio Werdum i think. He was able to nullify any attempt at a shot or a takedown and basically made it a boxing match. He won unanimously.
Saying boxing is a dying sport just makes you sound like Joe Rogan or Dana White.
