Boxer Bernard Hopkins says MMA is gay porno, not a sport

regardless of the gay aspect of it (which it definitely is), the vast majority of guys that like MMA/UFC are grade A chodes.

 

cool story, bro.

 

lol silvia. we saw what happens when a fight occurs when someone comes in completely out of shape carrying 50 lbs of fat and not caring about the fight.

also you do understand that if you use a boxing stance in mma you will get the living **** kicked out of your legs, right?

 

Hadn't seen that before. Just looked it up. How embarrassing. 9 second KO.

 

put a muay thai guy against a boxer of equal skill and the MT guy will win 100% of the time.

 

can the muay thai guy kick?

 

well yeah. people are talking trash about fighting techniques so yeah the guy is allowed to use his style. people are saying these guys who do "MMA" (aka anything that isn't boxing) are some how substandard athletes or have a subpar fighting style so let the MT guy use his background and watch the boxer get his legs broke.

 

How about the boxing guy only kicks? Let's see how good an athlete they are then.

 

I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one because I have seen these guys fight in southeast Asia and they do not feel any pain at all.. They will fight until their head comes off.

 

but they are mediocre athletes according to da1.

 

if the MT guy can kick, probably. But if the MT guy has to square off in real boxing, he loses. quite simple. Of course, who ever has the advantage with fighting the style that they have trained at will have an advantage. And since you said they were equal, the advantaged played (due to what type of style) will win.

Interesting case really: if kicking allowed, MT guy wins most of time, e.g. 9 of 10.

If kicking not allowed, boxing guys wins most of time 9 of 10.

If MMA guy fights boxer in boxing style, loses every time.

If boxer fights MMA guy MMA style, boxer probably wins 7 of 10 (pure guess...could be more, could be less), based purely on his ability to punch superiority.

 

for some reason you think mma guys can't strike. not sure where you got that idea from. and i'm not really sure why you believe you can use a pure boxing stance when people are allowed to kick and take you down.

 

no, i don't think that at all. They can. But when boxing rules apply, they do not have the technique. Nor do most have the handspeed that boxers do.

And i never said that you could use a pure boxing stance when other are allowed to kick.


i don't know where you got either one of those ideas from.

I just gave each MT and boxer a win in the other's style because if they were truly equally good, i would think either could squeek out a victory in a technique they are not that versed in.

 

That is besides the point. The point is the boxing attracts the best athletes because of the money. Not that boxing is the best way to fight even though I do think is for a "real" street fight. There is a reason why many of the lower lightweight boxing divisions are filled with with Thai fighters. These are guys who was taught Muay Thai at a young age and figured out there is more money in boxing.

 

Please.

Sylvia fought a 48 year old boxer and got knocked out cold in under 10 seconds in an MMA fight.

I do understand that. What relevance does that have to anything when a boxer (like Mercer) can adjust his stance and still have more power, speed accuracy than the MMA guy?

 

im probably just getting people mixed up in this thread. but there is no way a boxer beats a "mma" guy if leg kicks and takedowns are allowed and the mma guy is actually not stupid and just goes for the takedown after stinging the boxer with leg kicks. if you have more tools and know how to use them, even if it is not perfect technique, then will win if you actually use them.

btw i found this video of anderson silva making his pro boxing debut back in 2005 v. some dude. nothing special but interesting to watch.

Stop whining. We're comparing skill level and athleticism. Do you want this to devolve into the MMA fan favorite "who would win in a street fight?" discussion?

 

You think?
The wind up on a kick is kind of long and could leave you vunerable
against a quick boxer.

BTW - Anyone got the rules for MMA?
I get probably no Crotch punches but what else is 'Out of Bounds'?

I agree...i think the MMA guy would win majority of the time. But MMA is also a sport where 1 punch can end it all, immediately.

Again, in a sample of fights, I could see a MMA style figher knowing he can't stand up with the boxer so he will try to get him to the ground. While doing so, he could get caught with a punch and knocked out (let's face it, boxers are extremely good punchers, right? i mean, that's all they do).

SO the MMA guy tries the leg kicks and such. Again, i could see that in a sample of fights, the MMA guy attempt a kick but the boxer's hand speed slide in a punch before and knock him out.

once more...overall, the MMA guy will win the majority of time. No arguement. But the nature of MMA allows for a pure puncher to win on occasion
