Tired of the Media trying to force feed MMA.

I'll be back in the Fall. Got an action movie and reality show coming.artie:

 

I have rolled with the Diaz brothers and I started in Mui Thai. You are right to a certain degree, but I noticed if you go total defense on the ground your safe and relaxed. In boxing if you have an advantage over your opponent you can do what you want, but if you go total defence it's hard to get you out of there. Someone above talked about stress. The stress in boxing comes from not knowing what the opponent is going to do next and feeling tired at the same time (draining). Most people lose 7 pounds in a title fight. From the stress and aerobic workout. I see both points because the x factor is who you're in with; no matter the sport MMA or Boxing.

 

Remake of Motown's "Last Dragon". The show well be boxing reality, but not allowed to inform just yet.

 

It's true. At the time I weighed 10 stone, and this guy Andy weighed around 16 stone (which is heavyweight, I'm not sure the weight in pounds). I wrestled him for a good 20 minutes, pinning each other down etc, and I was not tired at all.

I think it's partly because I am so quick and slippery, but partly because there was no mental drain on my part. I knew I wasn't going to get hurt, it was just wrestling.

With boxing, you have to focus like crazy, just to NOT get hit, let alone looking for openings and trying to hit your opponent.

If we lived near each other, I would suggest meeting up and doing both so you could see exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm fairly experienced too. Started training to fight at around age 10, thai boxing as a teenager, then started boxing around 19.

I know what I'm talking about, and I know that boxing is more tiring than wrestling.

And Ike, I think you're confusing things. You say you can punch all day? You're almost certainly talking about a heavy bag.

If you spar someone who can actually fight, and who has a hard, accurate jab that you have to try really fucking hard to avoid, and you're getting slammed in the face with it, believe me, you're going to get fucking tired, and after just 1 round of avoiding punches, getting hit with punches, and throwing punches yourself, you'll feel tired, your arms'll feel heavy etc.

And even on a heavy bag, if you throw continuous power punches that actually land flush for a good few minutes, you'll feel tired too, and afterwards your arms'll feel sort of "floaty" and weak.

Unless of course you're an experienced amateur boxer, which I'm assuming you're not.

 

Otis that's exactly right, that's what I was talking about.

In MMA, on the ground, you CAN take a breather, there's really no argument to the contrary. You can relax, recharge, save your energy etc.

In boxing you have to be so alert and focused 100% of the time or you're gonna get fucking sparked.

Which movie? Which reality show? Tell us...we need to support you! :bears:

 

this is ludicrous. its probably more tiring to compete in those World's Strongest Man competitions, lifting kegs full of sand, bench pressing 750 pounds, and pulling trucks across a tarmac - that doesn't make it more exciting.

 

Good point.

 

Nah, I'm not pissed at all you man. Just a little touchy lately over the whole boxing vs MMA debates that have been going on lately. You're right though, not ALL athletic commissions are the same and some probably do not drug test, BUT if they aren't testing for MMA they aren't testing for boxing either. Both fall under the same rules as far as that goes.

you live in Sac? Come check out the Strikeforce show at the HP in San Jose in August. I'll buy you a beer.

 

I thought you were talking about amateur wrestling. I haven't done MMA.

 

Your on top of it. I can't say much more at all.:nono:

 

You'd be good at MMA, Joe. Once you're on top, nobody's getting you off!!!
