Alright all you boxing fans, bring your hate here and I will squash you. Contrary to what you may think, this is not going to be an article bashing Boxing left and right, I will bash boxing, a lot, but I understand its place in history. The simple fact is that boxing has passed its prime, people have been making excuses for boxing for a long time now, and I’m fed up with it. Let us begin…
MMA is 1 million times better than boxing. For starters, in boxing you have 20 different sanctioning bodies. That means if I fight at Light Weight, and I hold the WBO title, there is probably 12 other little midgets running around with a Light Weight title of their own. That is bullshit, that’s why boxing has been in the decline since the 90′s. The simple fact that they have watered down the sport of boxing to a point where you don’t even know who is really the champ, shit I’m looking at the champions right now, and there is 5 different guys. BULL SHIT, you have 1 champ, bottom line, fuck all this “little kid soccer” mentality, everyone doesn’t get a god damn trophy. Now, in MMA, you can have different champions, but there is only one champion per organization, and since right now the UFC is the NFL of mixed martial arts, their isn’t really any discussion around someone else being much better than whoever is their current champion.
Next reason why boxing blows my chode, to much relies on a boxer’s record. Has anyone actually paid attention to what’s going on with records in boxing? Lets take the fight that just happened this past weekend, Manny Pacquiao VS Ricky Hatton, Manny, who’s record is 49 – 3, pretty good record in boxing yeah? Ricky Hatton, who’s record is 45 – 2. Now Manny knocked Hatton out cold in Saturdays fight, and they are predicting Hatton should retire. Ok, what? I’m sorry, Hatton has 2 losses, 1 to the number ranked Boxer (Mayweather) and the 2nd just happened. This is what pisses me off about boxing, you have a guy who has only lost twice, to the 2 best boxers in the world right now, and he should retire? The kid is in early 30′s still probably has anoth
er 5 years to box, but yet, he losses twice and he’s garbage? HORSESHIT! None of this even includes that boxers fight losers for there first 20 matches, they are being fed guys to pad their stats. Boxing is gay because they push guys out for losing 1 fight.
In MMA, you have a guy like George St. Pierre who’s 1 of 3 guys who are talked about as the best in MMA, has a record of 18 – 2, 1 of his losses was to a guy who wasn’t even ranked. Basically a lucky shot clipped him wrong. Now if this was boxing Georges St. Pierre, would be asked to retire because he lost to a lesser fighter, and we would have missed out on him becoming one of the greatest of all times, to that I spit in the face of boxing fans, SPIT I SAY!
MMA is better than boxing for one important reason. Freak show fights. That’s right baby, there is nothing better than a MMA frea
k show fight. Boxing doesn’t have anything like this, unless you count celebrity boxing, w
hich I don’t because I’m not a faggot. Anyways, Freak show fights over in Japan are a staple of MMA shows, you can have a 9 foot tall Korean man fighting a Kick boxer, and it’s great. Hell the perfect example is a show over in Japan, the company is called Dream, and they are having one of the greatest freak show fights ever. It’s going to be a 7 foot tall “rapping Korean kick boxer” who’s name is Hong Man “the techno Goliath” Choi against Jose Canseco. Yeah that’s right, Jose Canseco bitch’s. The same Jose that spilled the beans on baseball. Apparently Canseco has claimed he is a marital arts expert, so he’s been training, and he’s got his first fight over in Japan. Do I really need to go on?
I’d like to take a second and address the MMA haters out their. I hear the complaint a lot that MMA is barbaric and that there is no skill involved, like the sweet science of boxing. Fuck you, MMA takes a whole different level of commitment than boxing ever could. I would venture to guess, and by guess, I mean tell you I’m right, that mixed martial arts requires even more technique than boxing, not only do you have to worry about getting punched in the face, you have to protect against take-downs, or elbows, or knee’s and kicks. Seems to me if you apply simple math to this, you’d be able to say, more skills in an MMA fighter = more skillful sport.
Lastly I’d like to discuss, Tournaments. This is the single reason why MMA has destroyed boxing, when you have a kick ass MMA tournament going, there is nothing better. Especially when all the fights are in the same night. The UFC has gotten away from there tournaments due to legal reasons here in the states, but those crazy slantly eyes overseas are still going strong. Imagine if you will an 8 man tournament all taking place in one night, you have a fighter who just went through a 3 round war, who has to get up and fight again, nothing speaks better to the conditioning of a MMA fighter. I still dream of the day when the UFC holds another tournament overseas somewhere; I could just imagine the amazingness of such things.
So after you’ve read this I will assume you have all decided that I am correct in that MMA is by far a better sport than Boxing, and in fact that boxing is actually gay. Now I know I can’t win everyone over, so if you have beef with me, we can take it to the cage, where I will systematically make you my bitch, and show you through brute force and raw super sexy aggression, that MMA is better. Now go get daddy a beer, its fight time.
