I agree with Max. His point being if you lose like to an armbar for example in MMA it's much more acceptable than losing is at all in Boxing. It's why undefeated guys usually duck top talent if their "O" goes than it can ruin a career. Also the fact boxers take way more headshots with less stringent drug testing than UFC or even ONE.

Unpopular opinion but too be fair to Stephen A Smith, Cowboy has come out and said he didn't want to be there. Immediately after the fight it didn't look great but years after the incident he was kinda right...

[@apophisgaming4964]

Wouldn't a boxer asking their corner to throw in the towel be basically a tap out? Have they not given up the fight due too having become to fatigued or injured? Then there's the fighters that deliberately give up and intentionally lose via timidity, which is essentially choosing to give up. If you're deliberately refusing to engage constantly being warned by the ref you're basically telling the ref you're done...like a tap does. I've seen plenty of boxing matches waved off by the ref because a fighter is running away from his opponent and taking a knee at the slightest engagement. That was, as the title implied, a ridiculously short-sighted take.

[@xthe_nojx5820]

[@LSgaming201]

Skip must have mistaken Diaz for Jon Jones. 40lbs are you kidding me?

[@oscarmaidana9294]

Actually Max Kellerman is right. Boxing smaller gloves and 12 round matches make it a "battle of the Will" and if you quitt is considered "You didnt had a strong enought Will". In MMA, an arm bar is way more painfull, but most fans forgives it because it's Nature (no, fans don't make fun of McGregor for tapping, they make fun because he is an asshole). Thats The reason, I suspect, you see way more boxers earning each other respect, Even after they hated each other, than In MMA. In boxing is hard to hate a guy who endured your punishment. In MMA many strickers (no everybody) hate each other more after the bout because they can mentally excuse their Lost by "he just catch me with one blow, he lucky, he no better than me".

[@eaglewinnings8003]

I see both points of view on Max Kellerman’s take. Here’s the thing with Max: He’s very smart and knowledgeable and because of this he tries to make comments and come up with takes that sometimes come across as ignorant. He’s trying too hard to think outside the box. With that being said I see where he’s coming from. A large amount of MMA fights end by submission so tapping out is a part of MMA whereas in boxing it’s almost unheard of for a fighter to quit or “tap”. I’m an MMA fan and I think boxing is boring but think about this: Charles Oliveira, my favorite combat sports athlete and one of the best pound for pound fighter in the world, tapped to strikes against Paul Felder. The ref didn’t see it and let Charles take a handful more vicious Felder elbows after the tap before the ref eventually called the fight. Yes, vicious elbows to your head and face with perfect technique and incredible power are much more devastating than anything you can endure from 10-14 ounce gloves in boxing but it still happened. Does that happen if tapping isn’t a part of MMA? That was all Kellerman was trying to say.

[@lucrative6477]

that makes no sense.. a provocateur doesnt want to be known as uninformed or unintelligent. it's a classic case of opening your mouth and having nothing to say. everything on this list has had a negative effect on anyone who said it.

[@NDTexan]

A provocateur by definition just wants to provoke a response. they don't particularly care what they are thought of afterwards they just want a response. fact is we are still talking about these things no matter how stupid they are which means the goal was achieved. It provoked a response. It makes perfect sense if you actually have a dictionary. Here I'll help you. A provocateur is one who provokes. pro·voke /prəˈvōk/ verb stimulate or give rise to (a reaction or emotion, typically a strong or unwelcome one) in someone.

[@lucrative6477]

Kevin Lashlee they want to be right. The only thing they provoked was laughter and facepalming. We are talking about them for being rly bad mma journalists, that isn’t their goal at all. They want to have unique provocative takes that have merit. The lack of logic removes their comments from the provocateur title and moves it into the clueless category.

[@NDTexan]

No they don't they want to be listened to and people to pay them attention. Hence provocateurs. If you think that then you don't watch these mainstream guys on their own channels. Stephen A Smith basically bragged about the fact that it is his product to say things like and how he makes his money. The really good ones can say dumb things and then twist it or spin it and people still watch them and the fact that we are actually debating the things they said with any merit tells you that they are succeeding. if the goal was to be correct all the time then a lot of them would be unemployed, especially Bayless. But they make big bucks doing this bit. the fact that you assume every commentator wants to be seen as correct all the time rather than just marketable as a commentator is incredibly naive. And again you don't actually understand what a provocateur does and what it actually means. Nothing about that word indicates they have to be factual or logical. By definition they just have to get a response out of people listening and watching and keep people engaged.

[@lucrative6477]

Kevin Lashlee read the first sentence in your paragraph again, that is literally what I just said. None of these takes made people listen to them more, if anything it had the opposite effect. I broke it down well for you my last post. The end goal is views, calling nate Diaz a sumo wrestler or saying cowboy quit does nothing but make people ignore you.

Cowboy didn’t have a broken orbital bone. Cowboy confirmed that himself

[@colinbreland1696]

Yeah joe was talking out of his ass as normal. I like that stephen A called out that trash performance by cowboy. No need to pretend he fought well at all because he didnt.

[@theshineyone1111]

​@@colinbreland1696 Actually the UFC was saying he had a broken orbital. There was official posts directly after the fight. It came out later from Cowboy that it wasn't true. Cowboys a slow starter and he got caught, pretty simple. Could happen to anyone. You can also say he didn't fight at his best without shitting all over a fan favorite and all around badass and legend. Anyone who practices martial arts will understand that respect is paramount but i wouldn't expect casuals to understand this. Huge respect to anyone who puts there health on the line and fights for a living regardless of there performance. Takes huge balls, especially on T.V in front of millions.

@@theshineyone1111 ya ya ya im a "casual" because he had a shit fight that i wasnt impressed by. Sure hes a legend but that doesnt mean he didnt have a shit fight where he fought like shit and why should we be kind about it because hes a fan favorite ? Fuck it. He made me sit through a holly holm stinkfest for 15 minutes to see him lose in 40 seconds. Thats worthy of bashing him right there. Let alone he stood still and got rocked by 3 shoulder strikes.

I think you don't understand the point he is trying to make, he means that you can win through submission (making the other person quit), which is part of MMA and it's understandable. In comparison to boxing where the only ways one loses is thru Decision, KO, TKO, not coming out of your stool, or stoping mid way thru the fight like Duran. And if one loses like the last two scenarios you're looked down badly.

You have to remove Stephen A.s comment about Cowboy for saying he didn’t show up after Cowboy himself admitted that was the case

[@jroggs85]

Listening to the entirety of what Stephen A. Smith actually said in that postfight interview, I agree. It wasn't a good entry to begin with. Tommy heavily misrepresented what SAS said. SAS openly admitted that his impression was that of a comparative layman, but he was unable to look past Cerrone's bad performance. And while some of his speculation is unfair (like that stuff about the pressure of the big-time), he was mostly right. This wasn't some shocker like Jose Aldo getting caught in his title defense against McGregor. Cerrone just fought very poorly. He didn't perform like the accomplished veteran he's supposed to be. Cowboy could and should have done more in the fight itself and especially his preparation going into it.

The worst thing is mainstream media only takes note of MMA (UFC tbh) when something controversial happens and when they finally do talk about it they show they know absolutely nothing about MMA

[@bshakes6999]

Anyone gonna apologize to Stephan A Smith? He said Cowboy didn’t show... Cowboy admitted he didn’t show up. And Stephan A Smith NEVER SAID HE QUIT!!!!
