Super Snooze fest!
Anyone catch the Pavlik/Taylor 2 fight the week before???
I stopped by a sports bar to check out that fight. Wasn't as dope as the first fight. Taylor was beat again. He tried to be smarter but Pavlik can take the damage and keep pressing. He proved that the first fight and again in the second fight.
Taylor has a better attack and much more power but Pav is mad effective against Taylor. Taylor should have went for more body to wear Pav our because the first fight proved that you cannot take him out head hunting.
Boxing for the most part sux right now, especially the heavy weights. No body battles anymore. As entertaining as the Hatton/Mayweather fight was, it was still a wack fight because Hatton never even brought a real challenge to Mayweather.
Boxing is a way better sport as far as entertainment goes than MMA because Boxing is basic. You use your hands to stop your opponent. Even kids can understand and be entertained by boxing. Anyone can understand it. When you defend yourself, you instintively use your fist.
MMA is a lot more technical than boxing and I have mad respect for MMA fighters. I think they are better athletes than boxers. But the average person cannot understand and appreciate MMA fighting.
The reason why MMA is blowing up compared to boxing is YOU CANNOT WIN an MMA match by running and in boxing you can.
In an MMA match... you have to fight to win. And it is usually clear when someone got their ass whooped.
If you guys haven't seen the JOE LOUIS special on HBO, it is good watching. It is very sad but to see a man do what he did is amazing.
