Larry Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 In addition MMA schools/gyms are also becoming more popular, and gyms everywhere are opening. They are even having classes for todlers. Dana and his UFC did a good job making MMA more acceptable in the mainstream as a consumate combat sports, and not just human cockfighting. I noticed, boxing is dominated by blacks and latin fighters, but no particular color really dominates MMA. Arum said the UFC was created for white skin heads who cant be worth s@%t in boxing. Well sure in the last decades, the sport was dominated by the likes of Lidell, Ortiz, and Shamrock. Now we got guys like Jones, Velazquez, and Aldo. Hopefully the sport will become more ethically diverse in the coming years. That was a racist thing to say by Arum. The first UFC champion was a Brazilian, and a lot of the elite in the UFC and MMA in those days were not white. The most dominant UFC champion ever was a black Brazilian. and the UFC and MMA in general is already ethnically diverse. Of the current UFC champions only Weidman and TJ are white, the rest are Latino, Brazilian or African American. Quote Link to comment
narcprick Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 MMA hindi pareho ng credibility like boxing. mas malapit siya sa WWE sa totoo lang. Quote Link to comment
shadow555 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 MMA hindi pareho ng credibility like boxing. mas malapit siya sa WWE sa totoo lang.Yeah NO! I disagree with you! MMA is way better than WWE and in quite a lot of aspects better than Pro Boxing. I used to be a fan of WWF, but I did realize it's mostly an entertainment show. Sobrang OA, so stopped watching it. MMA is quite different, watch a few fights, heck just watch some in youtube, and you will see. 1 Quote Link to comment

Larry Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Your take on this: http://www.inquisitr.com/2082872/new-stats-show-floyd-mayweather-didnt-win-fight-against-manny-pacquiao/ i told you, rematch to further fan the flames, you make the count https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=59&v=x-OsGL1aRIA here's the analysts scorecard based on a frame by frame review http://puu.sh/hJ6mt/886f5a6803.pnghttp://i.ytimg.com/vi/yLWZZUqD8nc/hqdefault.jpg compubox numbers, huge discrepancy but my take: this is just heat to fan the flames for a rematch, what's done is done, even if the compubox numbers are wrong, Manny lost, there's no taking that back now. 1 Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 I had Manny winning the last round because at that time, Mayweather was fully on his bicycle and just waiting for the bell to ring 1 Quote Link to comment

Edmund Dantes Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Kalimutan na natin itong laban na ito. Talo eh, di talo. Ang tanong interesado pa ba magboxing si Pacquiao? Tingin ko kasi, sa puntong ito ng career nya, ginagamit nya na lang ang boxing para mamaintain nya yung pagiging relevant nya sa tao. Kung ano ano na kasi sinusubukan nya, magtataka tayo kung boxing ba talaga priority nya. Ang mabuti pa, lets look forward sa laban ni GGG sa sabado. Di kilala halos kalaban nya, pero I bet it will be a much better fight than what was dubbed fight of the century Quote Link to comment

shadow555 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I can almost hear the advice from Manny's friends. Pare, matanda ka na, ang gawin mo, mag diversify ka na para pag nag retire ka, marami ka pang pagkakakitaan?PoliticsPBALupain at negosyo Well tama naman yun, pero di pa siya nag reretire yun na inatupag niya. I guess with his shoulder Injury, maybe retire or maybe last fight, last pay day and then move on to other things. Or baka namumuhunan na siya for his Presidential bid? Baka kasama sa contrata na pag tumakbo siya pupunta dito si Floyd at ikakapanya siya Quote Link to comment

Baka kasama sa contrata na pag tumakbo siya pupunta dito si Floyd at ikakapanya siya Ang theory ko, ginagamit na lang ni Pacquiao ang boxing para di mawala yung popularity nya at pwede nya masubukan ang kahit na anong gusto nya. Singing, Acting, Basketball, Politics, Preaching etc. I mean I am sorry to say this, but boxing lang naman talaga is the only thing he is good at. But unfortunately, he does not really have any real critics dito satin. In fact if you criticize Pacquiaos basketball talents, you commit heresy at deport ka sa bansa nyo. lol. Kinumpara pa kay Martin Luther King. Tama walang masama na me iba kang pagkaabalahan. Pero pwede naman ito gawin pag tapos na ang boxing di ba? Tulad na lang ng trabaho nya sa batasan. Ito dapat full time job. Absent ng absent, sya na pinakaunderacheiving na representative daw sa kasaysayan natin. Pero bat wala halos sumisita sa kanya? Dahil syempre poster boy natin si Manny eh. Kaya kung ito gusto nyang vanity project eh di ayus 1 Quote Link to comment

rgboy Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 There should never be a rematch. The result will be the same. Pacquiao should instead retire. Quote Link to comment
Edmund Dantes Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Sorry ha, ala kasi ibang boxing thread! Pero astig si Golovkin! This guy needs to be tested with bigger-named opponents like Miguel Cotto or Canelo. I think the middleweight is the next talent-rich division after welterweight Quote Link to comment
