So fucking sick of EVERYONE saying this dumbass phrase the last couple years. The worst part is after they say it they look around for applause like they said something profound. It literally means some are better than others. No fucking shit. Fuck off. Fuck!
There ARE levels to this. JK As annoying as "True Dat" is/was, at least it stayed with mostly young people. "Most definitely" worked it's way into the boomer/ yuppie circles. Every soccer mom in this country was saying, "Most definitely" about 15 years ago. But "at the end of the day," "it is what it is."
Yeah it's overused bs by people who don't know shit, but in boxing there are a LOT more levels than in other combat sports because it's just 2 weapons (fists) and 48 minutes in a fight. Very few options + a long fight time = levels. I mean compare to UFC, which has only 25 minutes over a 5 rd fight but so many different weapons including hugging, bending toes backwards, anal groping, rape and many more.
The greater number of levels in boxing are mostly due to the million of weight classes and careful matchmaking
Yeah, MMA has a potentially higher ceiling in the sense that theoretically, if someone was a genuine master at every single aspect of every martial art - they'd be the most skilled - but in a practical sense, most MMA fighters are good (although not world level) at one or two things and can defend against the rest. Not only that, but the 4oz gloves make it much easier to land clean, and much easier to deal a big damaging counter. Plus, some things just don't take much skill to get good at. You can teach anyone with a bend in their arm to throw a hard elbow. Imo, the skill level that comes with Specialisation in a singular martial arts is more interesting than the "mixing" of them.
It’s a little funny to me how certain phrases and terms become popular with later generations. Sometimes they become more mainstream and get used by people of all ages. To “clap” or “clap back” at someone meant to literally shoot at someone with a gun. @REEDsART Now I’ll always see reporters saying and tweeting how so and so “claps back on Twitter” “Simp” made its way all over different age groups, and some younger people seem to actually think it’s a new term. I was hearing that in music commonly by the mid 90s, and I assume it was around a long time before I heard it.
