MMA.
Boxing ends in a few ways...DQ, KO, TKO, Decision.
MMA ends in those same ways...lets not forget Submissions.. Arm bars, triangles, chokes...High kicks for the KO...
Boxing only has a few entertaining boxers to watch. Everyone's looking forward to Mayweather v Pacquiao. It's like there's only 2-3 exciting fights a year. Half of the time they dance around the ring and lean on each other because they're so gassed after 6 rounds, its just fucking boring after that. There are cases where boxers have good conditioning and can give a really really solid 12 round fight, but its rare...
Not to say MMA fighters don't get tired. They do. But you can expect a heavy punch to be thrown round 3 or round 5 of the fight. Maybe even a surprising reversal or submission that gives you fucking goosebumps like "How did he just pull that shit off?"
& There are many more entertaining fights/yr and characters to look out for. Silva, Shogun, Machida, Penn, Lesner, Carwin, Thiago, etc etc etc...All fought this year. That's just off the top off my head. The last few UFC events had great main events & the outcome in that last Anderson Silva fight(yeah i'm a big fan...) was fucking crazy.
But let's say there's a huge boxing match the same day of a huge UFC match. Like a Cotto vs Hatton going on while Shogun fights Machida... You can guarantee i'll be tuned into the boxing match only because great fights aren't even a handful a year in the sport of boxing..
