Barry McGuigan, a former WBA world featherweight boxing champion is currently the UK's top boxing pundit and also has a article in on of the bigger UK newspapers.

He recently wrote an article on 'Ultimate Fighting' and it's contents are laughable, for example:-

I remember McGuigan was very popular when I was growing up. Sad to see him embarass himself with that silly article.

He's never seen BJ Penn fight, Fedor/Zulu, Nog/Sapp etc etc

He obviously wasnt watching last saturday!!




Of course an ex pro boxer is gonna think this. We all know its bullshit and over time most people will also come to see this BUT for the time being there will be cling ons who cling to the past.

Well... take away the punches from a boxer and they wouldn't stand a chance against anyone.
