We progressed as a society…

… People now want to see even more violence with MMA and UFC.

Also boxing matches turned into a couple punches then a bear hug. Couple of punches then a bear hug. Couple of punches then a bear hug. I'd rather watch a caterpillar eat a leaf.



This is a perfect description of Wladimir Kilischko's style. For most of his career it was jab, hold, let the ref break the fighters and do it all over again round after round.

It would drive Manny Stewart to frustration as his trainer when he'd do that and made his fights as interesting to watch as grass grow.
