Total pantomime. Mayweather could have flooded him in first round. Clearly told to carry it and give a show. Makes a mockery of boxing. Pair of them should be ashamed.

I was just catching up on NSC before bed.SO why are you trolling this thread at 1am if you have no interest?
It seems that with hindsight, I was right.

Stupid IDIOT
As Mayweather has said it was a victory in a boxing match and he is now 50-0 then I'm entitled to claim it as another CORRECT boxing prediction and I'm now UNBEATEN on 42 consecutive CORRECT big fight predictions and YET to get one wrong
Mug or not, I would pay at least £5 to see that.
How can boxing be the winner? One of the best fighters ever fights someone who has never won a professional fight.

It just showed that a boxer will beat a thug in the ring under the Queensbury Rules.
Are you suggesting there was anyone that didn't know that?

Not at all but the proof is in the result and respective performances it appears.

Not many as to me it is just street fighting which I did as a teenager no skill or science as I see it. I believe any strong fit hard man could do it but just my opinion. I would prefer to watch the travelers bare knuckle fighting.

Well you're seeing it wrong.
Oh dear BG. If you're just fishing, fair play, but if not please don't be so naive. It's an incredibly skillful sport, even more than boxing is (and yes, I know boxing involves a lot of skill too).

Just my opinion.
Honestly BG, it's a really uneducated opinion.
They're not animals just biting and gouging etc (obviously against the rules). There is a huge amount of technical skill in the grappling and submission attempts, and defence against it. On top of that you have kick boxing etc, and you have to know how to defend against all of it.
Now if you're too old and don't care for learning about a new sport, no problem and I won't criticise you for it. But having the (clearly wrong) opinion that there's no skill involved just makes you look silly. It would be like a Brit saying there's no skill in American Football, or and American saying there's no skill in cricket - just uneducated foolish remarks.

If you watch FMJ's whole career. You'll see Boxing has been losing for the best part of 20 years now.
Boxing is supposed to be exciting and fun. Last nights fight was probably FMJ best and most exciting fight he's ever been in.
Boxing is really running out of stars to keep interest in the sport hence why MMA is getting bigger PPV numbers now. Boxing is in dire need of help. It's now relying on the MMA stars to keep interest in the Boxing. Fair play and much respect for an MMAnathlete swapping over and being brave enough to face the best in a sports which he is no expert in. Can you imagine FMJ doing that?

When you say "art" are you talking about martial arts?
