Today at the final press conference for the adrenaline 3, Boxing event between Tim Sylvia and Ray Mercer their were major fire works due to the fact at the federal boxing commission would not approve the main event as a boxing match. Monty Cox announced that the fight would be a MMA fight. At this point Ray Mercer started to threaten both Sylvia and Cox. "Telling Sylvia if he did not stand up and fight he would be labeled as %#^ sissy".
MMA fight now? This is going to be VERY ugly.
What a freakshow. Tim, fuck you, you are bringing a bad name to the sport of mma, you big retard.
If that was me, I'd want both guys to agree to wear boxing gloves and I'd walk out if there was any grappling.
This was to be a boxing match, not an MMA fight.
they'll probably both just box but with MMA gloves
Federal Boxing Commission?
To my knowledge the bill that proposed a Federal Boxing Commission never passed. It was first introduced in the 89th congress and then later again in the 109th.
"Nov 16, 2005: This bill failed in the House of Representatives by roll call vote. The totals were 190 Ayes, 233 Nays, 10 Present/Not Voting. "

But it does appear that AL will be getting their own commission very soon...

let's see silvia get lit up a little and see how much boxing he does if he thinks he's about to be knocked out......
mataleone - they'll probably both just box but with MMA gloves
That's still not right. MMA gloves make everything a completely different game. Defense, offense, padding, damage done, etc.
Plus...what about kicks and knees?
It's just a mess.
it doesn't really matter anyway. it's a clown show no matter whether it's MMA, Boxing, or Ballroom Dancing.
