  MMA at the Troxy is not real MMA. The guy that runs that little promotion is a douche bag.
  
  BAMMA is the real deal now, if you have the means to watch Syfy then check it out December 10th, looking like a good fight card that night!
  
  Jon Jones is a Venom so if you can get to watch him ypu really have to!
  
  As for Khan v Mayweather. Khan has the speed and power to trouble Mayweather. Manny's people have stopped Khan from sparring with him because he was giving him to much trouble. Freddy Roache has gone on record as saying Khan is giving Manny as good as he gets. I met someone who went to watch them spar at the begining of the year and they said that at times Khan was playing with Manny. And the pac man trains like most boxers fights!
  
  and before anybody thinks i'm just a fanboy and know nothing about boxing for saying what i just said. i used to box and have trained with some top fighters and understand the importants of a solid quick jab, speed and power. Khan has all 3 and these 3 attributes are what gives him the chance to beat Mayweather!
  
  win or lose, it would be a great fight to watch! i think mayweather would bottle it as he normally likes to fight smaller men so he has the reach advantage. the money has to be right before he'll even consider it!

  Did anyone catch the free event on premier sports the other night? Velasquez vs Dos Santos. Was over quicker than you could blink... glad it wasn't pay per view. The Ultimate Fighter has been amazing so far, really looking forward to the next few matches. Is about the 14th series and the first I've seen haha. Jon Jones has been on fire recently and I expect him to completely decimate Machida

  Khan v Mayweather would be a great fight but its hard to ever see it happening. Mayweather is waiting to the fight with manny pacquiao as he will make a crazy amount of money from .

  The only thing that can beat Jon Jones at the moment is a sledge hammer! Machida dosent have a hope in hell! Be interesting to see what Rashad Evans we get when they eventually fight! Good Rashad has a chance with his wrestling, bad Rashad gets knocked the fuck out!
  
  Evans v Jones is gonna be the biggest fight next year.
  
  Also, be interesting if Brock Lesnar has learnt how to box, because if he could learn how to box, he would be a beast!
  
  back to manny, he has a lot of damage control to do to get the boxing world back on his side. there are a lot of respected people behind the scenes in boxing who dont like what happened with the Marquez fight, the result and mannies perfomance!
  dont know if he or he's camp had any influence in the decision, but the thought is that WBO didnt want the belt going down south as Manny has more global appeal than a mexican! thats the talk anyway
  
  I love a good conspiracy! lol

  I see khan has changed his opinion on the Pacquiao fight and is now saying that Pacquiao won the fight by two rounds. He seemed certain the marquez had won after the fight.
  
  
  In the UFC Jones looks like the best in the division but anything can happen as I don't think too many people saw Dos Santos knocking out Valesquez in the first minute. It would be interesting to see if Anderson Silva would consider moving up to to fight him.

  I'm a boxing fan.
  Stayed up all night to watch the Marquez-Pacquiao fight. Me and my friend were certain that Marquez won it by about four rounds. So when the decision went to Pacquiao we were disgusted. If PAC man lost then he wouldn't of brought much to the Table for the mayweather fight. He won, has the momentum and everyone is still interested in a PAC vs floyd fight.
  Amir khan is still a couple of years away from that level. Great fighter, he will get to the top, but not yet.

  Anderson Silva would not want the fight. Jon Jones is just on another level right now. we have never seen him taken down by a world class wrestle, which is why it'll interesting when they finally get it on.

  i CANNOT WAIT to see rashad vs jon jones. i'm gonna be rooting for rashad in that fight cuz i don't like jon jones, he's an amazing fighter but it's annoying that no one is even challenging him at all.
  
  i personally still think shogun if he gets his act together can give him a hard time, but my gut tells me no one is gonna beat him any time soon out of the current guys like rashad, machida, etc.
  
  but eventually he will get beaten - the thing about him - he hasn't been rocked yet, i'd like to see how he handles being hit then we'll see what's what. cuz he's defo a very cautious fighter right now - but it's uncertain if that's because of greg jackson camp or he's just like that.
  
  
  i think if overeem comes in with no injuries like he had in his last fight (he REALLY didn't look himself against werdum), then he will take lesnar. i'm very very curious to see who is actually stronger, because overeem is a beast strength wise, don't underestimate his strength in the clinch against brock. but basically, if he connects well ONE time, it's all downhill for brock. and there's no way he's learned to strike well enough to match overeem right now.
  
  congrats to dos santos as well, he's my fave heavyweight right now, too bad we didn't see more of a fight from cain tho.
  
  imo mma much more exciting than boxing right now, there's just a lot more going on for my liking. i mean, even just next month we're gonna get to see two absolutely monster fights - jones/rashad AND overeem/brock, that's not happening in boxing. plus almost every card has an exciting fight you never expected to be exciting

  I agree with the Overeem v Brock standup. It will be interesting for me to see if Brock can actually box. If brock gets him down, then its byby goodnight. Overeem has really good hands so i would imagine he'll lead with a double jab and see if brock can move that massive head of his!
  
  brock needs to leave his ranch for a couple of months and do what GSP did. Train with Freddie Roach and learn how to jab and move! GSP did exactly that before he fought Kosheck and look what he did to his head! Never seen so many jabs in MMA before. I've been banging on at guys for years, both boxers and mma fighters to just spend 1 or 2 months a year working the jab, double jab. If you can develope a quick short jab, you can control the stand up!
  
  Rashad is the only guy i can see beaton jon jones as he is a world class wrestler. apart from that, jones has answered all the questions! Jones fights on the back foot as he had No martial arts trainging before he started MMA, which is also why he is so unorthodoxed. If he can stop rashad taking him down, he wont be beat!
  
  Dos Santos is the single nicest guy in MMA. love the guy and that fight, although short, was amazing. Did anybody really see it anding that quick? i thought he may win in the third or fourth round, but Damn.

  i thought if junior was gonna win it would be second or first round, if not then maybe cain. the thing about this fight is it was hard to actually imagine junior get taken down and dominated on the ground cuz we haven't seen that before, whereas cain you could see getting knocked out cuz it almost happened with kongo.
  
  i don't think overeem will use the double jab with brock, i think he'll throw one, then cover up, repeat, but if he lands ONE time, it's a downward spiral for brock.
  
  the thing about brock is i can't tell if he's the same brock anymore or not. cuz his fights since diverticulitis haven't been fights where you could tell if he's the same fighter. against carwin he got dominated, but then got luckycuz carwin just froze, literally, so no real test there. and against cain it was just straight domination again he couldn't keep him down... and honestly i think it'll be the same against overeem - either overeem lands and its over, or he takes overeem down, but overeem has the strength to get up and finishes him. anything is possible, but that's how i see it.
  
  brock is an amazing athlete, if only he got into mma from at least like age 25 or something, he'd be the best, but he's 35 or something now, he won't learn to box in time imo, i mean so far his boxing looked appauling (despite what he did with couture and herring).
  
  did you see the press conference after ufc on fox where dana white says 'that night in terms of production and everything went perfect' and junior comes in on the mic and goes 'i agree' with a smile lol, that was funny.
