Yeah I refuse to bite on those arguments of "who's tougher"? They are two different sports and actually boxing could learn a lot from UFC in certain areas. Now we got one guy who makes $30,000,000 for one fight whle the whole Olympic program didn't earn a single gold last Olympics in any weight class and countries like Turkey did and Ireland did. Our athletic youth don't wan't to get beat up any more for money, much easier being a football or basketball player.

The rest of boxers barely make $2000. Only a few cash cows out there now, Pacquaio, Amire Khan, Canello, Hobkins is done, nobody like Chad Dawson for some reason, Mosely is done, Nonito Donaire is good.

But nothing like the 70's and 80's boxing's heyday.

though i like UFC and MMA, my real passion is for more traditional martial arts. They all have incredible aspects to their skills, and training regime... and i certainly don't exclude boxers from that. but kind of like boxing... with a single martial art(not the mma style), its not really about the money... there's just not much to be had. I've seen some amazing skills at local levels that will never make a dime off of their talent. I could go deep int this subject, but i'll leave it at this, each of these fighting styles commands respects when an individual puts that much time, heart, blood, sweat, and tears into it.

 
I trained under a 9th degree grandmaster kenpo instructor. one of about ten 1st generation black belts in Ed Parkers system. I loved listening to all the old stories he had. my favorite one was where he was going on about "this little red headed kid from oklahoma" and how he would psych his competitors out before a match. and act like this was his first tourney, etc. it took me at least ten minutes to realize he was talking about Chuck Norris. He was even at the tournament when Bruce Lee did his demo of 'the one inch punch' he was a great guy to train under. would push you to your limits and beyond.... and the stories were pretty cool too

 
Nonito Donaire vs. Jeffrey Mathebula on HBO

There's a link earlier in the thread about streaming sports if you don't carry HBO. Lets see if it works tonight.

 
Pacquiao vs Bradley desision was reversed for the first time in ages if ever. Bradley keeps the belts howver.

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state
  11. Gracie5 @ Gracie5: Hey @CuCeltic99!
  12. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
  19. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?
  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
