I don't understand how anyone can prefer boxing over MMA. Every single boxing match is the same - 2 assholes stand and jab with each other.. boring shit.. for several rounds until someone knocks the other 1 out or they go to decision. One dimensional shit, just punching. MMA every match is different - they can punch, kick, elbow, knee, grapple, clinch, wrestle, do submissions etc etc.
With boxing, if you have 2 shitty boxers fighting against each other it can be really boring.
But if you got some great fighters in there it can be very, very cool.
Watch Ali, Tyson or someone like that. Nothing boring about it.
I think MMA is boring. I never watch the shit. That's just my opinion though.
