[/quote]  where does the pedophile part come from?  did i miss something? [/quote] Same question ???

I’m pretty sure none of you have noticed but to put this in proportionate perspective, she is 5’11”. Go ahead, take another look.

In the beginning I thought they would never make five rounds

Well if anyone watched 139 last night they saw some good fights with one heck of a main event. Henderson and Rua fight was unreal. I gained a lot of respect for both. I hated to see Rua not come up with the win after his comeback.

Ouch. Shoulda had more point to end the half

I don’t know if anyone noticed but I screwed up last week when I started this thread. I thought 139 was last week on FOX but 139 is actually this weekend. Last week was titled UFC on FOX.

True. Back in the day everyone knew Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Holyfield, Tyson and even Suger Ray. Even people that knew nothing about boxing knew who they were. I'm showing my age.

I don't watch much boxing but will probably watch the Paq Mayweather fight if it ever happens. Boxing is alive and well but for me it's not what it was when I was growing up. You will always have your true blue die hard boxing fans but to keep the fair weathered fans, boxing needs to keep promotioning big names. Paq's promotion has done a lot for boxing.

Once I became interested in MMA and the many facets of the sport, boxing just seemed to get boring for me. Some MMA fights can also be boring but more often than not with all the tools they have to work with keep it exciting. Just my personal preference. The Clay Gudia and Ben Henderson fight last Saturday was a perfect example.

Boxing may have more PPV fans per fight and may always have but MMA/UFC promotion is the cause for the steady rise in the sport and if the right promotions continue who knows where it will end up. All of the following is helping the popularity grow. Many more quality cards per year. Now we’re getting  more free quality fights per year and free prelims. Many quality rerun fights on TV every week. A big increase in mainstream media coverage of fights and fighters. The UFC even has a reality show. All this put together is working well.

I'm a big MMA fan and just don't care for boxing. I have no arguement about which is better, it's just my preference. Look's like a really good card Saturday JMO - there's not enough posters on here for either sport

I'm sold too. I not big boxing fan though.

[quote name="basketball25" post="1116469" timestamp="1321165800"] like i said earlier boxing is still the best, the fight tonight was great!!! I had paq winning 115-113, those guys are just made for eachother!! lets see the paq vs mayweather fight! [/quote] I didn't see the fight but I read it was controversial. I also read Paq is having troubles.

[Hidden Content] Pretty cool. I'd like to have a turn

[quote name="GoDogs27" post="1120433" timestamp="1321479978"] [quote author=Coach Comeaux link=topic=91617.msg1120356#msg1120356 date=1321476350] [quote author=bulldog1984 link=topic=91617.msg1120341#msg1120341 date=1321475488] Sorry to affend you dog 27, im sure your a good citizen but thats whats wrong with some people they think just because they are good citizens or just good people they will make it to heaven but i must tell you what Jesus Christ has to say about that... NO ONE IS GOOD  not one so all the things you think you do good he doesnt recongnize unless you accept him as your savior.. I think thats where your missing the point . Go Dogs  and keep praying ! [/quote] I don't think in any of his post he ever said whether or not he was a Christian.... I think the only point he is arguing is having to listen to a prayer .... If I missed him declaring one way or another then oops ;-D I think this argument is getting off the topic it started about.... but hey don't most LOL... I will simply back out and say We will have to agree to disagree on this subject .... I have no ill feelings towards anyones believes or non believes... it is not my job to sit in judgment of anyone that believes differently than me.... I will continue with my believes and everyone else continue with yours.... [/quote] Lol thank you coach. I never ever said anything about what I believed or didnt believe. This isnt about Christianity or Buddhism or Islam, at least not directly. Nobody ever said anything about heaven or heck either or what will "get me there." Thats the difference between me and most religious people. I dont do good deeds just because I think it will save my censored.. I do them because it betters the world we live in now. I wont waste my time singing songs and clapping my hands at the sky. That doesnt help people or society. Thats MY opinion which I am sure most disagree with and thats fine. The overall emotion we have to have is tolerance. For a Christian to say that anyone who does not accept Jesus Christ as their savior is going to heck, is just as bad as a Muslim saying that all Christians should die because Christianity is the wrong religion. Its stooping down to that same level anyway. Nobody, and I mean nobody has the right to shove their religion down anyones throat and pass it off as truth. I love to ask people how they know that Christianity is the "right" religion.. 99% of the time the answer is always, "because the bible says so." Need I say more on that? And I appreciate the nice gestures, but I dont NEED any prayers or NEED any guidance lol. Im not a "lost soul" needing salvation. The point here is about prayer before games, and what I NEED is for people to respect this country we live in and the laws of the land. When the supreme court recognizes the U.S. as a Christian nation, then by all means lets hold hands and have the Lord's Supper on Friday Nights... otherwise dont say a prayer unless you expect to have a Christian prayer, a jewish prayer, a buddhist prayer, a muslim prayer, etc.... [/quote] Well coach, I think he cleared things up

[quote name="SFA85" post="1120311" timestamp="1321473800"] Injuries, winner, losers.  No god in that.  No god in sports but if it makes your feel good and pious, continue.  I'll continue to not stand, not bow, and walk around during the fantasy portion of the ball game..... [/quote] I respect your choice to not participate in the prayer and I also respect your willingness to accept other’s choice to continue prayer. However it really bothers me (for your sake) your callousness towards God. He has a lot to offer way beyond emotion.

[quote name="invictus" post="1119094" timestamp="1321390195"] I don't agree. There is a separation of church and state, period.  Pray on your own all you want, but I shouldn't have to listen to it. [/quote] I think some one that has a problem with some one praying for their safe travel home and the safety of those playing on the field has a real problem.

Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. My prayer is that you will be good as new in record time

So much for the UFC free fight debut.  Fox aired Lamar game instead so it was back to watching on the computer like always. Plus UFC and FOX are going to have to rethink their plan. Not going to generate a lot interest in an hour premier for one one minute fight. I didn’t expect Dos Santos to take it much less that fast.

Great first season

[quote name="basketball25" post="1114759" timestamp="1321113728"] king,.boxing still beats boxing in pview buys!! if mayweather vs pacman fought on the same night as silva vs.gsp more people would watch the boxing match i promise you that!!! [/quote] I'll be interested to see how things go in the future after a while of FOX (free) fights and more promotional moves

The UFC continues go grow in popularity but I think the NFL is safe. :)

[quote name="basketball25" post="1109952" timestamp="1320870806"] Fox is only showing one fight and thats the heavyweight title fight and the other fights can be seen on facebook!! but who cares when we have Marquez vs pacman 3!!! thats the real fight sat night!!! [/quote] Should be able to see both with the time schedule difference

It’s a big night for the UFC. Saturday is the first fight night for the UFC under their new contract with FOX. It should be a good title fight along with some other decent fights.

I say yes he should rest their starters. From an LCM fan.
