For those of y’all unfamiliar with us here at theboxingmatrix.com, allow me to introduce my half of the equation. We answer to nobody, and we’re definitely not ducking anyone as well.This is boxing and mma news and commentary at it’s realest and purest transcription. No hype, no bs. This is a place where we throw our verbal jabs straight from the chest. You may love it or leave, but we guarantee you our honest opinions about the sweet science and fight sports we all passionately follow. Feel free to leave us your comments and suggestions. Better yet join the forums link you see up there. They say corruption is what hurts our fight sports most, but it’s our love for the sport that carries it through. And over here, it ain’t nothin but love baby. They say MMA will kill boxing. They say boxing will always be the best fight sport. I believe in neither. I believe we as fans are lucky to be in an era where we have both. And these are some reasons why…
I believe Manny Pacquiao is the best boxer in the planet today.
I believe Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Juan Manuel Marquez are better “boxers” than him.
I believe Fedor Emelianenko is the baddest mofo in MMA.
I also believe he knows Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira is badder than him .
I believe Oscar DE la Hoya is bad for boxing.
I believe Oscar DE la Hoya is great for boxing.
I believe boxing and mma can cause severe damage to an athlete in the long run.
I believe NFL football and steroids in sports causes a million times more damage to an athlete than boxing and mma combined.
I believe I agree with Scoop Jackson when he said Biggie’s “Either you sling rock or got a wicked jump shot” is the best sports lyric ever.
I believe Scoop Jackson is one of the greatest sports journalist in history.
I believe Scoop Jackson has written the dumbest things I’ve ever read.
I believe I’ve written dumber things though.
I believe Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is the most entertaining and funniest person I never want to crack jokes at.
I believe that the joke was on Chuck Liddell.
I believe Top Rank and Bob Arum is the best promoter in boxing.
I believe all promoters are bad for boxing.
I believe MMA should be televised legally in all US states.
I believe there’s still too many hypocrites in the world for that to happen.
I believe Cung Le needs to join the UFC.
I believe Kimbo Slice will get owned by upper tier heavyweights not named Tim Sylvia in the UFC.
I believe Kimbo Slice vs Brock Lesnar will out gross Mayweather vs Dela Hoya 2 if it happens.
I believe GSP will kill Matt Serra.
I believe Houston Alexander will kill someone in the ring soon unless someone puts tempur material on his fists.
I believe women should be given more attention in our sport.
I believe the most attention we give women like ring girls in the sport is not the attention I was talking about.
I believe the world is lucky to have witnessed Muhammad Ali as much as Filipinos have Manny Pacquiao now.
I believe Manny Pacquiao should learn from Ali’s fate and retire in 2-3 years so he wouldn’t suffer the same in the end.
I believe Miguel Cotto should do the same and learn from Tito Trinidad.
I believe Larry Merchant is the greatest commentator ever.
I believe Larry Merchant is the worst commentator today.
I believe Kelly Pavlik is boxing’s Larry Bird.
I believe soon enough an “Isiah Thomas” in boxing will say Kelly Pavlik would be just an average boxer if he was black.
I believe poverty can be a bigger reason for fighters to be produced more than race.
I believe boxing judges are fair.
I believe boxing judges are corrupted.
I believe it matters not because it’s the people who really decide in the end.
I believe there’s more I can add but I’d better stop here.
Because if you haven’t gotten the point yet, you would’ve left the site long before you got to this line. PEACE!
