They're something especially brutal and dignified about it. MMA is weird because people are using different styles instead of in boxing where people are basically doing the same moves, just different tactics. MMA is apples fighting oranges but boxing is apples fighting apples, you know what I mean? I feel like I'm able to pay better attention to the more nuanced aspects of fighting with boxing.
This is also why I don't like Mayweather. He's too tactical and it kinda takes the fun out of it. Plus he has nothing to prove. Guys like Canelo and Golovkin, and also lesser known fighters, they fight with more heart in it, and they're not afraid to take a punch.
Thats the exact reason why I like MMA a bit better. Its these hybridized fighting styles from all over the fucking globe, and the science of finding which techniques are the most efficient and effective. And then there's the fighters endurance comes into play, how well they take a punch. A guy can be the best striker in the world, but if he can't manage himself on the ground well, its just a matter of time until he gets choked out. There are just so many more elements, so much more on the line.
Boxing has thicker gloves, more rules, and the upper body can only generate so much kinetic energy. The lower body- on the other hand.... a professionals snap kick to the side of the head, or a knee....thats a ton more force. Theres just so much more to watch in MMA. Elbows, knees, feet, chokes, hammer fists, wrestling, submissions, joint locks.
Its why the McGregor/Mayweather fight garnered so much interest. Two wildly different styles going head to head.
Me likey. But certainly understand not liking the Tapout/Affliction Bro-Culture around it. -
2017-09-16 at 8 PM UTCThe only full fight I watched of Canelo's was the one vs. Mayweather. I was impressed by how limber and explosive he stayed for the entire duration of the fight. His punches in round 12 looked as vicious as they did in rounds 1, 2, 3. Of course making them connect s another story, but Mayweather is kinda a freak of nature, so its whatever. But i am excited to see it. If anyone finds a decent stream anywhere later, plz post it in here, and ill do the same.
Or if anyone is ordering it tonight and knows how to stream their screen, or even just points their cam at the screen, thatd be G as fuck. -

2017-09-16 at 10:54 PM UTCThough, I believe it's going the distance with Canelo winning.

2017-09-16 at 10:58 PM UTCOr it's gonna end differently. I can't even take a side. I flip flop since it was announced.
Rooting for GGG, though. He used to live in my city. -
