I don’t have any valid reasons for this (though I have fake reasons). Just how I feel. Anyone else feel the same way?

I think Navarette is a warrior

But next weekends fight will be a death match.

He almost put him down again with the left hook at end of 2

Why not.

My dad hates sports now (he used to love the nfl in the 80s but swore off all sports in the 90s because he thought commercials were a waste of hind life) but randomly when I was in middle school he was like “hey, do you want me to order the all time greatest boxing matches from Netflix.” Still has me confused to this day what brought that about because h doesn’t watch boxing

I prefer it. I’m sorry I know it’s technical jiu jitsu but guys rolling around on the ground just doesn’t do it for me.

I wish Muay Thai would get bigger here - closest thing to IRL DBZ

Agree. Not versed in Muay Thai/ Kick Boxing ,but I appreciate those arts. Men humping one another on the mat is not my thing .

I don't follow boxing closely these days, but I always enjoy a fight night with my dad or uncles. I thought it was awesome ESPN replayed classic fights earlier in the year. My dad and I were on the phone rewatching the entire Hagler-Hearns fight together.

I will say, I began appreciating UFC more when no other sports were on to watch. I'm not a total convert yet, but it can be entertaining.

Always had been a big boxing fan but around the early 2000’s I really started following mma. This for me would have been the pride era with guys like fedor, josh Barnett, the nog brothers and all those guys. UFC was ok too, but to me, really didn’t put on a show like the Japanese.

After pride went belly up my interest in mma started to lessen. Casually watched the ufc but over the last 5 years haven’t really been interested. I have however got back into boxing over that time and started to follow it once again.

MMA may be the most boring sport on tv, it’s a close race with NBA. Boxing is a skill sport, mma is just a bunch of trailer park trash humping each other.

I still like watching boxing but promoters ruined it. There are 5-8 belts for every weight division with sometimes 4 to 5 champions at any given time. Fighters don't get any pop until they have 20-30 pro fights so you can't learn about new up and comers. It's still the most action packed combat sport out there but man greed killed it.

I enjoy watching boxing more than modern MMA.

Used to enjoy Gracie-era mma. Lost interest in mma a while back.

I find the technical aspect of boxing and strategy to be quite interesting.

Just my preference though.
