The only reason that UFC is doing so well in America at the moment is because you’re doing sh!t at boxing and you don’t have a single decent heavy weight. MMA isn’t that big at all outside of the states and the reason for that is because the rest of the world is doing really well at boxing.

Once the next great American heavy weight bursts onto the scene like Tyson did, then see you later UFC!!

thats rather biased i must say.
im an 18 year old girl, 16 piercings and couting, and ready for ink.

its not a fact of getting into a “tribe” as you put it, its not for rebellion, its the pure fact that if someone likes something, they do it, because they can.

pretty simple.

oneiopen, your name matches your views as you only look at it through your eyes, your beliefs and your opinon.
welcome to the real world i guess.

your gonna see and hear more shit like this from many people.

if you have children when your older etc,
they end up with all of this stuff, what will you say about it then ?
i bet you will support it and not say a bad word and be biased will you.

think about it yeh !?

How important is money compared to happiness, and if the freedom to be able to express yourself in tattoo or body piercings is necessary to that, what is the problem?

I feel this blog is rather ignorant and bias, which saddens me in this day and age.

I bet you anything you like this gentleman, and that is what what he is, travels the country, works hard, pays his taxes, and doesnt drink, or even take drugs.

He certainly appears to know about the tattoo and piercing industry, and may even off implants or other specialist services, that people not only love, but pay well for.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with ‘expressing’ yourself, especially not with piercings. They can all be removed when needed for a job, or school or anything like that. Let them have their childhood, surely you can understand, you were children once?

its leo uribe

I realized real fast how much difference there was between me and the experienced boxers. At first I thought, “if I got them outside the ring though I would undoubtebly win”. After getting in the ring, I realized, they could have put me out of there and it would not have made much difference out of the ring. They were taking it easy on me.

Once my more experienced friend, got tired of me saying how, if a boxer got taken down they’d get beat. He challenged me to try it. We were friends but went pretty much full speed, and I saw then that you don’t just take a boxer down. You are going to get hit hard and fast, you will may be still standing but your stunned.

Boxers are more skilled in other areas than people think. They are strong, fast athletes that have usually had many fights in and out of the ring….there usually damn tough guys that can knock you out with one punch that you will probably never see. Try charging and taking them down, they will simply bend their knees, get down in their stance with more power, and hit you with an uppercut that will break your jaw.

I’m talking about amatuer open class boxers. I kept going and fought off and on well into my thirties. I had about 35 matches, became an open class fighter, and sparred and fought guys that went on to be world champions. I got in some scraps with guys that thought they were tough and I usually finished it within a couple of minutes, and they were usually twice my size, but I would be nothing compared to a professional world champion, and neither would Chuck Liddel, and alot of other MMA fighters.

When someone like Mike Tyson, Klitchko, Bernard Hopkins, hit you, bones in your face break! They hit unbelievably hard and have it down to a fine art. I’ve seen MMA fights where they say the guy was a boxer, but he was never was even ranked, or had maybe 10 fights, or over the hill and washed up.

Liddel would not even break the top 20 in his weight class in professional boxing. Alot of the MMA guys have been fighting and had 10 or 20 fights. Most world champion boxers have had over 75 amatuer fights. They don’t spar by rolling around, they go full speed and maybe pull their punches a little. S

Sometimes guys that were black belts in Karate would come to the gym, and they didn’t even realize the boxer they sparred with was just toying with them and could have knocked them out easily…and these were very good amatuers, not professional world champions. The Pro boxers training and skill level right now is usually way above the MMA. Its like comparing a college football player to a pro.

Having said that, I can see the skill level going up in MMA, and with its becoming more popular than boxing (I believe it is) it will continue to do so, and maybe they will reach the level of a REAL top pro boxer, but right now they are not at that level, they would get hurt (seriously). Dana White, being around boxing knows that, and although he talkes like he would welcome boxers to MMA, he really does not want that, because it would really hurt its popularity when they see what a champion boxer would do to the average MMA fighter with those little gloves on. When people try boxing, they don’t like it because they usually get the crap beat out of them, actually punched, but they think like I did, that if it were out of the ring it would be different. So when they see MMA, its more appealing to them, helps reassert the masculinity. Moreover, they usually mix it up more in MMA, where as in boxing one punch will put you out, so they have to be defensive and careful, which can make for a boring fight.

I do believe that the boxers that depend on staying away from a guy and relying on speed and don’t have much power would have a harder time, and might get taken down and lose (Maywheather), but even they hit harder than it looks like, and its so fast you don’t really know what happened, and their teeing off now while your stunned! So yes sometimes an MMA guy would win, but a real pro boxer would win 8 out of ten times, and it might not even should be legal, cause like I said its like putting an amatuer against a pro. I can attest boxing does work very good in street fights as well, but it would be good to have a skill to get someone off the top of you if they some how end up on top!

MMA is great and I love to watch it! I would love to see a good pro boxer in his prime get in there with them, and I don’t care which side would win, but I would be surprised if it was the MMA guy. If they could just get the prize money up to what a champion boxer makes. I believe Mike Tyson got 40 mill for one fight, and thats getting to be a long time ago.

In closing, the fighters I trained in the gym with are Donald Curry, Steve Cruz, were the most notable, watch Curry on UTube, he was great in his prime.
