Boxing vs. UFC: Lesnar Boring but So Was Jermaine Taylor

I went to my friend Damon's house to watch the Jermaine Taylor vs. Jeff Lacy fight. How interesting was the fight? John, Halestorm aka Jamal Shakespeare, Walt, Smitty and Philip and I (Dame was having a cigar on his patio) ended up discussing among other things:

1. How many NBA championship rings Robert Horry has (it's 7)
2. What was the best "swat" in both NBA and college basketball history.
3. Why in the world Halestorm lives in Phoenix.
4. The merits of "break" music (that's John's DJ style) as opposed to traditional house music (what the ex-wife and I used to party to back in the late 90's).

5. And, of course, fantasy football which is what middle-aged men do when they can no longer swill the liquor the way they used to and only one of them (that would be Damon again) has a real "adult" life.

Good times. But a BORING fight. In any case the Lesnar vs. Couture UFC "Greatest Fight of All Time" probably wasn't all that interesting either.

Oh, well. Congrats to both Brock Lesnar and Jermaine Taylor for their victories last night, but the drama just isn't there in any form of fighting nowadays. I think that us sports fans need to stick to the round ball, the pigskin, and those four legged demons that keep taking my money each weekend.
