Cool I will check it out. Hopefully showtime puts it on demand soon.
Best fight I've seen since Corrales vs. Catillo 1. This is what fighting is all about. Had this fight been in place of Oscar vs. Maywether boxing would have made a huge step up in getting more viewers, despite the fact that these guys are relatively unknow.
If you guys have Showtime and can catch the reply this week you won't be disappointed.

I seriously don't ever remember being this excited mid fight.
Boxing match, not fight...
I'll download it...
I am going to buy you showtime for your birthday. Makes me mad that you don't have it. lolBoxing match, not fight...
I'll download it...
boxing is what Mayweather does. Getting knocked out is fighting, but just not with the rules you prefer.Boxing match, not fight...

Because MMA doesn't allow biting or eye gouging, does that make it any less of a fight?
Rules are what make boxing a sport, and in the mind of many what makes MMA human dog fighting.
You started it.
It was more of a fight than some of the -erotic wrestling matches I've seen on many a MMA card.
A fight imo is the use of all limbs for striking. I am a boxing fan but boxing is far too one dimensional. It is what it is but I wouldn't consider it a true fight.
Sure.
Not all will be great but they give you enough sample to ensure some are with every single card.
lol...awesome!!
It's sad that there are so many people in the world that can't see the vast differences between MMA and dog fighting...there are stupid people everywhere though...
Boxing is boxing...it's not a fight. MMA did away with all the $hit that would keep it from making it big (even though biting and eye gouging were against the rules even at UFC 1!). Personally, I think the UFC needs soccer kicks and stomps added to the existing rules, but that's just me. I don't think most of America could wrap their brain around those things...
Spoken like:
1. a true MMA-hater...
2. a -phobe...
3. someone that is just ignorant on the subject, which is ok...
boxing has been considered fighting since the beginning of time. It's the MMA fans who for some reason want to devalue the sport of boxing to hype up MMA.
Maybe it's just Mavs fans who have a habit of being that way. For example, for years you guys have been the jock sniffers of the Spurs. 4 Championships !
A fight is, a quick dictionary search will find, defined as #4 Boxing! I bet you websters will tell you the same thing.
It's you freakin obtuse MMA guys who do your human dog fighting no justice.
Nothing personal Evan, because I've noticed you try, but I got to call you out on some of these asinine opinions of yours.
I am a mavs fan but I have much respect for the Spurs. No need to bring that into the mix.
lol
Again...I like boxing. It was the first sport I loved. I love both but boxing is not a true fight. I could not care less what webster says. In a true fight, how much boxing skill is used?
according to who...you? Are you the standard? Your hollow arrogance is so like a Mavs fan. It's why you guys get little to no respect around here.Boxing is boxing...it's not a fight
They're both fights while also being games/matches IMO. Just different rules.
I'll look for the replay. Thanks.
typical arrogant mavs fan who thinks his definition of a fight is more significant than what websters or what I bet most sports professionals would tell you.
You guys have been found wanting.
Yeah true but a rational discussion doesn't pass time at work.
Again, not sure what Mavs have to do with anything.
If you enter the boxing ring for a match, you're in a fight. Don't let love for MMA blind your vision on other sports. They are mutually exclusive from each other.
Love it...
. i missed this fight to go to a party on saturday. i need to catch it.
You've got the boxing equivalent to getting cracked in the mouth then faking a laugh down pat.
Love it...
Don't be a puss and fight back.
atleast tell me how Spurs fan always go back to how the team has 3 championships. Of course it's now 4 championships, but you get the point.
I'm just happy you had on a huge padded glove when I got cracked in the mouth...it greatly enhances my chance of brain damage...
Let me explain it to you...
I came here because of Spurs fans. They're funny...they care SOOO much...it's life and death for them (the "NO LIMIT" threads and GTG's are proof of that). They're fun to mess with because of that, but the Spurs are the top team in the league so it's not like I'm kicking something that's down. I'd go to a Grizzlies board if I wanted to do that...
Me prodding boxing fans is completely different. Boxing has huge problems and is being surpassed by MMA...a more dynamic, more skilled , more exciting product. The fans are fun to pick at because of their responses. " -erotic such and such" and "human dog fighting"...

You came here when Dallas was Tops in the West and the Spurs were suppossedly on the down slide. since you've been here the spurs turned it around and one another stinking le. Don't try to play the innocent role. You came here with the hopes of being able to kick a champion. Very similar with your hopes for boxing.I came here because of Spurs fans.

Boxing has problems, but the rest of it is a figment of your imagination. Let's see where MMA is 10 years from now. At this point it can't be considered more than a fad. I can see our politically correct society getting sick of the perceived savagery of the sport. Also, as a fight fan, for every good MMA fight there are about 20 boring as fights.Me prodding boxing fans is completely different. Boxing has huge problems and is being surpassed by MMA...a more dynamic, more skilled , more exciting product.
only in response to the home-erotic MMA posters on this board. It's obvious all of your post start from your knees.The fans are fun to pick at because of their responses. " -erotic such and such" and "human dog fighting"...
In March of 2006 the Mavs were tops in the west? How is that possible when they hadn't beaten the Spurs in the playoffs in years??
Maybe our politically correct society will get some common sense and decide that multiple deaths every year in boxing is actually more "savage" than MMA. I'm still trying to figure out why the "sweet science" gets a pass on that...it makes no sense.
You are right though...10-20 yrs from now will tell the story. And IN MY OPINION mma will be huge. There will be a whole new generation of kids doing BJJ, wrestling, muy tai, etc from an early age for years to come...
1 to 20?
The only -erotic mma poster on this board is Mr Dio (proven with pictures), and he doesn't post here anymore luckily...
