I do, but the good matches are few and far between. Also, the middle weights have increased the size of their gloves which will reduce the amount of KO's. This makes it less desireable to watch. Boxing definetly needs to do something to fix thier image.

I prefer boxing still. You have certain MMA fighters that are exciting like Chuck Liddell and a couple of the old schoolers but a lot of times it is just like a long holding/wrestling match. In boxing you know someone is getting hit lol.
Don't get me wrong there are boring and exciting fights in both but boxing has its own fan base that remains loyal. There are so many MMA organization it is crazy IFL, PRIDE, UFC, BoDOG ect...All have their own rules and even they change over the years. I was a big fan of UFC when it first came out and Royce Gracie would last through the tournaments every year he using his style and the opponents using theirs. Now it seems that they all adapted Brazillian Ju Jitsu and it is just one style Standing and fighting or grappling.
I will watch a good fight either way but if I were to choose I'd still watch a couple of good boxers over a couple good fighters.

Is 31 under 35? Sometimes i dont know anymore. . .
It is just the weakness of the heavyweight division and the fact that mixed martial arts is so all inclusive ethnically, i would say. A new Tyson like the pre-Buster days would dominate MMA in ratings, revenue, etc.

Yes I watch boxing as often as possible, I go out of my way to see the fights I'm really looking forward to. My interest in MMA in minimal, especially compared to boxing, I kind of consider it the back-up, next best thing to boxing, if even.
