Couture v Lesnar~!

Fight of the year tomorrow night.

Anyone else going to be watching? Somehow I doubt it, but i'll be up. Just taken out a subscription to Setanta for the privilege...

lesnar as in brock lesnar who used to be in the wrestling?

I think couture will take him down a la frank mir, take a pounding but get lucky with a submission

Thats a prediction I would be proud of!

Never in any doubt. Couture is a great man but the only way Brock was losing was for Brock to do something stupid. It was over when he connected with that elbow early in the second round.

Lesnar is a fucking animal but no way is he beating Nogeuria (and yes, i think its inevitable that he's beating Mir). Couture will admit himself his submissions are week, but Nog is the best in the business at that. He's also bigger, faster, stronger, and more experienced that Couture. So he's beating Lesnar.

It's not boxing though is it?

Two men with two fists,fighting with skill and honour to see who's the best fistfighter...and all the romance,steeped in history and hardness,if you like, that goes with that....

It's Johnny come lately bullshit in comparison,or am I old fashioned?

I don't like it,it's gutter fighting for morons.

However I love boxing,and everything about it. Study it,it's a microcosm of life..I'm from a family of boxers,my grandfather fought for the european welterweight title,he tought us all how box(I was'nt that good though to be honest,but I loved it,and it tought me alot).There I've said it..

Cage fighting is bullshit,by comparison,brutal yes,but not GREAT,like boxing...tacky spacker fighting like kicking and pulling hair

I hope Couture retires now, hes been my favourite since i saw UFC 43 and he demolished Chuck Liddel, but the torch is well and truly passed now, i don't want to see him go down the road of ken Shamrock and piss on his legacy with shite promotions and shit fights.

And punching in the back of the head.It's alright down the pub,fair dooze..

What the fuck is that all about on telly though,with kids who know fuck all watching?

I have a theory.Put boxing back in the schools..It's a longwinded theory..but the upshot is we have a better more respectful society.

I don't like the idea of this sport superseeding boxing in years to come..I make no apologies.

Punching in the back of the head is illegal in MMA. Just ask Brock Lesnar...

The fact is, boxing is a farce. How many weight divisions are there in boxing? Heavyweight, Cruiserweight, Light Heavyweight, Super middleweight, Middleweight, light middlweight, etc etc. How anyone can take the sport seriously, at least at an advanced level is beyond me.

Morning Mike

Who?:D
