I wasn't planning on posting an entry, since I've essentially abandoned this blog for real life. However, I left comments on another MMA blog site, realizing my old MMACrossfire blog URL was in the URL field of the comments. Oops! Wasn't intentional, as I'd intended for this blog to fade into oblivion. I simply don't have time to maintain it. My daughter is with me full-time now, and my life is rather full. I don't have time to write predictions, and even less time to regurgitate news you can find on other sites. All I have to offer are opinions. As it turns out, the original purpose of blogs was to publish opinions! Imagine that. So, perhaps I won't abandon this blog after all.
The post in question was an article on MMAMania.com regarding and eventual bout between Anderson Silva vs. Roy Jones Junior. The reality is: Jones isn't merely a legend. He's an enigma. Not since Ali or Sugar Ray has there been a boxer with such unorthodox creativity in the ring. I agree with many who say that even a 40-something Jones could out-box a spritely-by-comparison Anderson Silva. I would most certainly watch such a fight. But I'd expect Anderson Silva to be handed a defeat at the hands of the master.
I hope Anderson Silva does, in fact, begin his boxing career following his UFC career. If that's his passion, by all means I think he needs to follow it. Whether he excels at boxing is another matter. But I hope he pursues it with gusto, nonetheless.
