Survey Saturday Night Fights
-
It depends. If it's a boxing match its Mayweather. If its mma then it's McGreggor. I will be watching and it's been forever since I've purchased ppv.See, and here we go again. Time affects our answers, opinions and experiences so much. My interest in boxing tapered off over the past 15 years. I think the last fight I had interest in was Tyson/Lewis, and I was disappointed to see Mike not in top form.
But I did see this fight, and man, it ranks up there with any of them I listed.
And what about James J Braddock? Coming up from the dead to beat the shit out of Max Bear? My Uncle Nick, loved Dempsy, fought like him, and he loved Braddock. Joe Louis called Braddock the bravest man he ever met. Now THAT was a great man.
What do you make of this McGreggor - Mayweather fight? I was never a huge Mayweather fan, but I have never seen a street fighter stand a chance against a boxer. The cardio required to box is far, far greater than that for this MMA shit. I think Mayweather will destroy the guy.

One, I haven't read a bunch, but I believe it is a boxing match, not an MMA. In MMA there are so many varibles anything can happen. I used to love the PPV fights, at least the boxing stuff. I bet Holly Holm vesus Rousey so I went to see that fight. Still don't understand why Comcast doesn't offer the NFL package.
2017 and we have "antenna with rotor" type service trying to find games. It sucks. The programming in Memphis is so fucked up. If we don't get the Titans, we get a manning game, logical or not.

I was a loyal Direct tv customer from '97-'15. They fucked me a couple of times so threatened to switch then fucked me again. I was on auto pay and they took too much out and I didn't notice for a couple of months. After investigating and calling countless times they would credit me then overcharge again. Fuck it right? But I lost the nfl games.One, I haven't read a bunch, but I believe it is a boxing match, not an MMA. In MMA there are so many varibles anything can happen.

Now its the red zone channel or games I see locally and sometimes a trip to hooters.
Both fighters are too cocky for me so either one getting knocked out would be cool.

I've always loved boxing beginning with the B&W GILLETTE FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS, Dad used to have an occasional beer and we'd sit on the floor and watch I'd have an occasional sip of beer.
He was a great club fighter as a late teen and a NAVY champion during WWII.
His friend one street over would have been a national or world champion if he didn't have a greedy manager (Matt M.) check the dates too close for any heavyweight type fighter. http://www.fightsrec.com/mike-birskovich.html

1. Who do you think is the best fighter (boxer) ever? Pound for pound Tyson, best in my era Cassius Clay now Muhammad Ali.
2. What do you think is the best fight ever (boxing match) OMG, I've seen some great Ray Boom-Boom Mancini fights re was a non stop machine, too bad about Do Koo Kim dying in ring, Ray would have been a media superstar.
3. Are you into MMA/UFC? - Not really, girls are interesting saw a match tonight Brazilian chick vs Tate, Brazilian won. Some are cute for brutal fighters.
Men still human cock fighting, I'll pass. Like wrasslin' sweaty men grabbing crotches, really? Oooohhh, not me unless there's a sweet little chick involved.

Reading thru the thread after giving my answers dredged up a couple memories... especially especially gum's Wide World of Sports mention... specifically a broadcast from Havana, Cuba back in the early 80's (?) of the Pan-Am games. This was back when Cuba was the dominant power in "amateur" boxing and lead by Teofalo (sp?) Stephenson.
Anyway a young kid out of Akron fought in the Lt. Hvy finals and was the best, young prospect I'd seen in a while. Had the speed of a young Ali, but in a more powerful frame. The kid could really thump and IIRC beat a Cuban in the finals to win the gold. His name was Michael Dokes.
Saw a couple early fights of his as a pro and then he disappeared for years until I saw him as a bloated, journeyman almost upset some "name" boxer. The hands were still fast, but not the legs. Apparently Michael was derailed by drugs along his path. Too bad... he had a lot of promise.

In his prime he was called Manos de Piedra (hands of stone) Roberto Duran pound for pound was awesome well before he fought Ray Leonard late in his boxing life. Knockout punch in either hand.

Ali-Frazier series.

Oh yes Duran was a deviating boxer in his prime....and a character, he used to fight collect his pay and then blow up like a balloon then crash down to fight again. You can only imagine how his legacy might have been like I'd he trained year round.
Still I wouldn't want to be hit with his punches.
