Boxing nowadays, let's face it, is totally boring. Although I wasn't alive I've seen The Rumble in the Jungle and the classics between Hagler, Hearns, Duran and Leonard. I watched the fight between Haye and Valuev for the WBA heavyweight title: almost no punches were landed, and it was, honestly, extremely boring.
I had never watched UFC a week ago and it was only when I saw an article about James Toney, a former boxer switching over that I decided to check it out. Of course he was a flop, but he remains the only person I have ever heard of in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Since then I have watched a few fights and found them to be much more entertaining and action packed than today's boxing encounters. I think also deep down the main reason I like it is because it's pretty close to a real life WWE: people actually get hurt, which is why, I think it is growing in popularity.
But again, I do not know much about UFC, as I only just discovered it however I hope it will match my need for the occasional entertaining fight.
