Boxers vs. MMA fighters

Watching combat sports are always fun to watch. But learning it is even better. When watching either boxing or MMA, it makes you want to learn it and do what you see on T.V. Even way back then, fighting has been a sport and people would love to watch it or learning it and as time go by. There are more and more fighting styles that are being taught.

Boxing has been one of the most popular combat sports to learn. Every body knows boxing, so boxing is your typical combat sports to learn with along side with karate. But a boxer can only use his hand to fight. He/she cannot use anything else. If they kicked, elbow, knee, or wrestle their opponent. Most likely they will be disqualify.

MMA is now the fastest growing sports in the world. It's now being also one of the most popular combat sports to learn. MMA can use knees, punches, throws, elbow, and grapple. MMA is pretty much the whole total package for combat sports.

In my opinion, I think that a MMA fighter can go into boxing and do well with other boxers. I believe they can compete with other boxers and can possibly win a boxer in his own game. A MMA fighter does have to learn boxing if he/she wants to be a good MMA fighter because you have to learn all the aspect of fighting. They have to learn to fight on their feet and off their feets which mean on the ground.

Now, if a boxer was to go into MMA. He/she will lose and will lose badly. I think so is because a boxer will not know what to do if he/she is being taken down to the grown. If the MMA fighter was to wrestle the boxer down, he/she will be lost and will not know what to do. Also, it has been already proven that boxers will not do well in MMA. A boxer tried going to MMA and compete with MMA fighters and he got destroy in a MMA fight. So, in my eyes, a boxer can't really go into MMA and compete with them and a MMA fighter can go into boxing and compete with boxers.

MMA vs. Boxing

I love watching combat sport. They have to be one of the most entertaining sports to watch. I just love how intense the fight is and what the fighters do to pump up the fight. It is so entertaining when the fighters promote their fights by smack talking with each other. It is always fun what each of the fighter have to say about each other and how they are going react towards one another.

Boxing has been a long time sports that everyone love to watch. It also has to be one of the longest and oldest combating sports that exist. Boxing was one time one of the most popular sports to watch. This sport is the father of combat sports. Lately, boxing hasn't been as popular as it used to be. It's now sometimes consider as a dying sport because no one isn't really paying too much attention to it any more. There are about maybe five good boxers that people will pay attention to. But once those boxers aren't fighting then no one doesn't really care too much about it. Also, the paper-per-view is too expensive. Even though there are at least four fights in a boxing card. People are really paying just to see the main event card.

MMA is the world's fastest growing sports. It's also the closest thing to a real street fight. Now MMA has been growing all over the world. For MMA, it's less expensive and there are usually ten to twelve fight cards on it. And the fights are always entertaining because anything can happen in a MMA fight. MMA is not a one dimensional sports where it you stand up all the time and just punch your opponent. In MMA, there are, jiu-jitsu, judo, wrestling, boxing, muay Thai, karate, tae-kwon-do and more other martial arts that are involved that makes this sports so entertaining to watch.

In my opinion, MMA is a lot more entertaining to watch than boxing. I love to watch boxing but boxing can be a boring at times. The only time I'll watch boxing is when either Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather are fighting on that fight card. If not, I don't really follow boxing that much. For MMA, I follow it because I'm a hardcore fan. I can watch all the fights cards and not be bored. Even when the MMA fighters are not that well known, I can still watch it and not be bored at all. I love watching MMA because all the martial arts are combined together and you see all of them being used. That's why I prefer watching MMA over boxing.

Ribs

One of my favorite food is ribs. Ever since I was a little kid I fell in love with ribs. Ribs has to be one of my all time favorite food to get when I go and eat out. What's not to like about ribs? It's delicious when you take that bite and taste all the nice juicy flavors. Ribs are so mouth watering and especially when you see the waiter or waitress bring ribs to the group of people that sits next to you.

I've been to few places that serve ribs. I went to Apple Bee's, Chili, Texas Road House, and Famous Dave's. Out of all those places I've went to, I like Famous Dave's ribs by far. Some people my disagree with me on which one has the best ribs. But Famous Dave's ribs won me over.

Apple Bee's ribs used to be good but lately it's been really disappointing. It seem that Apple Bee's has changed how they do their ribs. The ribs there are not thick or juicy and that's what ribs are all about, thick and very juicy with brust of flavor. It's thin and the color on their ribs have no color. It seem as if they just grilled it and served it with little seasonings. Also what I don't like about their ribs is that they cut it up peice by peice now. Another thing about ribs is that you rip it off yourself and eat it. That's why I'm not a fan of Apple Bee's ribs anymore.

For Chili, It's not bad or anything. To me, it's actually pretty good. But the size of it is still kind of small to me. It's also thin but have nice flavor to it. I don't mind getting ribs at Chili but too expensive for it's size.

Texas Road House has good ribs. I like it very much because they give you a good amount of food there and their ribs taste very good. It has a nice sauce flavor that makes you keep wanting to have more. Texas Road House's ribs are a little bit bigger than Apple Bee's and Chili's ribs. I say Texas Road House ribs is worth your money if you order it. Can't really go wrong with Texas Road House's ribs.

Now Famous Dave's ribs are by far the best out of all the rib place I went. It beats Apple Bee's, Chili, and Texas Road House's ribs if you were to combine them all together and it still wouldn't be as good as Famous Dave's. Famous Dave's ribs are very thick, nice, juicy, and with mouth brusting flavor of sauce. What I also like about their ribs is that it's a man's food but can be a women too. The full rack can make you full and it will be full-filling. Everytime when I go to Milwaukee and visit my brothers and sisters, I have to get some of Famous Dave's ribs.
