Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well boxing in general has skills that translate into MMA quite well, not all but a good number. England just has a history in boxing, Queensbury rules aka Queen's rules being a somewhat old-school boxing term; coming from the hay-day of boxing as a sport under the British Empire.

YUNG MASTERLESS GLENCOUR Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Yeah, lots of skills from boxing do translate well, for sure. But the principles definitely don't apply directly in the least. If you were to do the hypothetical "style vs style" fight, boxing is one of the worst disciplines to have. The guy who wrote those rules was the Marquess of Queensberry, which is why they're called the Queensberry rules. I don't think it has anything to do with a queen. As an aside, we'll need Dangerberry Rules for the gladiator punishments we'll be administering. We can set up a Dept. of Fair Play or something to figure that out, prolly. Not to say boxing isn't a phenomenal style to train in for an MMA fighter, though. But by itself it's pretty weak in the MMA arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirtless Crackhead Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 On a somewhat related note, Badr Hari is pleading guilty to his involvement in the assault and battery/attempted manslaughter on a dude over in the Netherlands. Hopefully they put that fucking douche-bag in the klink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shirtless Crackhead Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Sergio Martinez took the whooping to Caesar Chavez Jr. with the exception of the last round, which was kinda silly on Martinez's part. Anywho.. Evander Hoyifield owes half a million in back pay for child-support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booyaka Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Anyone who knows boxing knows that Canelo is the one to watch, JCCjr is just another margarito, cept his dad is cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Densuo Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's been awhile. Now that Victory day is out, I need to dust off my PS3 and get back in shape. anyway. on to some fights: Chavez Jr. is worthless. I no longer have any respect left for him. he took a fight at a certain weight, keeps raising it to light heavyweight, effectively loses, and is given a gift decision. Did anyone really expect Canelo to beat Floyd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Densuo Posted October 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Well. Cotto maintained some sort of relevance after putting Delvin to sleep in the 3rd. he brought back his body attack and his left hook was in good form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
