it was more entertaining but the skill level is entirely different, the same way an ape riding a bicycle would be more entertaining and impressive than watching a human do it. then again it depends on the ape. also since they test pharmaceuticals on animals is the feat less impressive if they fail a drug test?

I don't know. Joanna's skill level seems to be pretty high.

Mr. Nice! posted:I don't know. Joanna's skill level seems to be pretty high. Both in physical attributes and skills, she's not close to Mayweather or Pacquiao, which does make the whole thing less impressive. That her opponent has a laughably poor level of striking defence for a pro fighter does make her stand out, but really that level of competition in a legitimate world title bout is embarrassing. You shouldn't be effortlessly clowning the title holder in every standup exchange.

I'm never going to appreciate someone who is point-fighting and trying to win rounds instead of taking a bit more risk in order to attempt to hurt their opponent. Its really that simple, I knew exactly what Floyd was doing, and the fight sucked.

I think it's cool to beat the gently caress out of women over and over for a decade, so I liked the fight.

The "fight of the century" had 36 minutes of "fighting" after which everyone walked away unbruised. There's a reason why Lorenzo and the UFC has been clowning MayPac on social media all day.

I was impressed with Mayweathers reflexes, speed and how he moves around the ring but it felt more like a fencing match. There was no sense of danger.

The problem is that you watch a ufc card and you get a good mix. A chess match, a war, a satisfying one sided beating. It's s dependable product I enjoyed mayweatherpac but dang you get so much more for your money from the ufc. Edit: and loving lol at everyone criticizing Floyd for being too good at not getting hit. You make a fool of yourself saying poo poo like that.

Its really that simple, I knew exactly what Floyd was doing, and the fight sucked. agreed, there is no difference in the parameters between a fight in the UFC's most underdeveloped division featuring at least one fighter whose offensive output and diversity has only been equaled by Gassed Mark Coleman in 1998 and a fight between the two best boxers on the planet

If in 3 months we had two fights scheduled on different channels at the same time: MayPac rematch on one channel, and Joanna vs whoever on the other, I'm either going to choose the latter, or I'm going to go out and do something else for the evening. I have no interest in watching what is ostensibly supposed to be a "fight", but looks like anything but
