Chess being seen as the really mathematical/intellectual/more options-moves game? The better analogy is that Boxing is the master craftsman and MMA is the DIY man.

Probably won't stay up to watch though. Plan for morning after fight is: 1) watch fight 2) open this thread to see who is willing to eat large slices of humble pie 3) check to see which mma posters have re reged

walshb wrote: » No. I think now I would like to see Floyd win. A while ago, Conor and the massive upset would have been my pick. Leaning with Floyd now.... That could change.... It makes no difference to me anyway. I haven't rooted for Floyd in many fights. I usually want the foe to beat him.
