I'll watch, because it's Connor and Mayweather, but the more and more I watch boxing, the more I remember why I fucking love MMA. In boxing, I'm watching the smart dude win. In MMA, gritty blood baths, get down and dirty fucking fights. But, yeah. I'll watch.

Who's gonna win DC or Jones?
Also, Connor is a smart guy. I mean, I remember seeing his fights when people barely even knew who he was.. He went from there to where he is right now - a worldwide known name in a very short amount of time..that's gotta count for something..

It's also important to remember that boxing's only undefeated heavyweight champ was a shit boxer. Marciano had poor balance, almost non-existent footwork, and lousy defensive skills. He also had devastating punches and a granite jaw (an almost certainly apocryphal story has it that when Archie Moore's trainer told him to keep hitting Marciano, Moore replied, 'I am hitting him - it don't help!').
The smart money's on Mayweather, but anything can happen.

In my humble opinion, Jones is the better fighter. Cormier is a badass contender, but Jones is the better fighter. I've been hearing a lot of talk about Jones' bad habits. When it comes to the actual fight, what matters is who is better in fighting, not who has a clean DUI record. Jones has been off the grid for a bit, I get that. That could hurt him. He has to prove he's still the better fighter. Cormier is no slouch. But Jones can make a comeback, and it will be a fun to watch fight because of him. If I have to say who I hope will win, Jones. I like a good redemption story. If I must say who will win, well. If consistency proves anything, Cormier. But I think Jones can prove that he's back with everything and beat DC's ass. We'll see.

That's exactly what I think too <3
Also, the last Jones fight he was a bit too "sturdy" and I remember DC saying how if he were in that ring that night he'd have won big time. Hopefully Jones dust off his rust in his camp. Also, I absolutely love that you watch mma.

For sure. I was pretty disappointed at the cancellation of the Nunes vs Shevchenko fight a few weeks ago. I was in fucking Las Vegas for that purpose and boom. Out. But there were still some good fights. It was a bloody heaven. I ended up pretty darn satisfied and walked out powered up. You should start MMA threads when there's a fight cooking. We can have fun up in there.
