It's going to be a great night of action. Will probably watch HBO first with its card being shorter and then flip to Showtime.

I been into mma a lot the past few years. But a lot of hype for these 2 undefeated boxing dudes. Prolly dvr the boxing. In mma, a devastating ko can happen anytime in any fight. Even the undercards.

I'm watching Strikeforce for sure! I'm hoping for at least one upset. I love betting dogs in MMA!

You especially should watch JJ. Maybe you could learn how to throw more than a few sloppy left hands.

UFC > Strikeforce> K1 > Boxing

Boxing for me tonight..

Wiggums5 · 01-29-11, 10:02 PM

anyone have a live feed for the bradley fight?

rocky502 · 01-29-11, 10:09 PM

Never heard of ether boxer. MMA tonight. I've really lost it for boxing. Too much politics keeping the best matchups from happening.

yisman · 01-29-11, 10:19 PM

I watched NHL skills challenge, followed by Irvine/Davis in college hoops

Tree Rollins · 01-29-11, 10:26 PM

Boxing is so irrelevant this point. Outside of Mayweather and Pacquiao. When those 2 are gone, that's it. None of the top young talent wants to train boxing anymore, they train MMA.

flyingillini · 01-29-11, 10:43 PM

MMA

Reload · 01-29-11, 11:24 PM

The Strikeforce main event is kicking the crap out of the HBO fight

Cookie Monster · 01-29-11, 11:26 PM

I prefer boxing, but tonight card will not be spectacular. All points to a decision win by Bradley.
I do not do MMA, it does not have much following here.

Most of the time, I can dig it.

But for the Heavyweight GP, Strikeforce is trumping everything!

ttrace35 · 01-29-11, 11:35 PM

Great strikeforce main event.

Kids are stupid these days if this is the case

Why would a kid prefer to get cauliflower ear and brain damage in 5 years for a $100,000 MMA contract when he could make millions over a long career as a top rank boxer?

Resler · 01-29-11, 11:41 PM

Did Nick Diaz call Chris Cyborg "A ******* bitch" , he said it to someone in the crowd after the fight. He also threw his mouth piece at someone in the crowd after he won. Herschel Walker is a specimen for being 49, it's insane.

Tree Rollins · 01-29-11, 11:42 PM

Strikeforce card was awesome tonight.

Yea I seen that too. Then somebody threw a cup of beer at diaz right after that. I believe he did. Diaz is that kind of dude to disrespect like that. On another note, that ref could have let hershel bust that dude up a little more.

Caught the last 3 matches on Strikeforce. Have to credit Walker at 48, great condition. Good show.

I don't think you know what you're talking about. You think a boxer, who gets hit in the head hundreds of times a day for his entire career, over and over and over. And then gets to fight night and takes 12 rounds of repetitive heads shots. Vs. a UFC fighter, who when he gets hit hard a couple of times, the fight is over. What causes more brain damage, 250 good shots to the head, or 2 good shots to the head? Oh yeah but that cauliflower ear sure is a nightmare.

And who makes money in boxing anymore? the top few guys? and they are at a much more serious risk of brain injury and plus they're competing in a dying sport. You really think there is better money overall to be made in boxing 10 years from now then in mma? If you're talking about today, then yeah, the top 5 boxers make more then the top 5 mma fighters. But that isn't going to last much longer.

Your average sports fan today probably can't name 2 of boxings 200 title holders from the last couple years. But they can probably name 3 or 4 of the ufcs 20.
