i think we can all agree that boxing defeated MMA today

i hate when people say boxing is dying. it's clearly not


and no, i dont hate MMA. i really like it. it's possible for both to be great at the same time. 2 different sports. i hate when they are compared

just like no one compares hockey to soccer. similar idea for a game, but completely different games

Marquez was the aggressive one tonight especially with the counter punches, but i would give the slight edge to Marquez.

Yeah I felt like he didn't use his speed to his advantage IMO. Btw ufc wouldn't have messed up if they had shown a couple more fights. Nice KO doe.

I didn't mind the one fight type deal. Most people are just tuning in for the main event, so it makes sense. It just sucks for them that it only lasted a minute.

Fans of UFC realize that, but people who tune in for the first time (that was the point of giving it away free) and see the fight last only one minute aren't really encouraged to stick around.

There were a couple of really good fights that would have caught people's eyes though.

I guess, the under card just isn't that popular, especially among the casuals and newcomers. Cause I'll admit that I'm mainly just a casual, I watch for the main events. A lower weight class might have been better for free TV, because the heavyweights just don't last long..

Pacman's fight against Margarito should have been stopped by the ref just last year.

This video sums up this mythical Mayweather Pacquaio debacle. Some funny shit right here.
