Re: Thriller Triad combat - Does the tringle shaped ring affect the betting outcome?
So Thriller hosted a "Boxing vs MMA" event which "merged" rules. However, anyone with half a brain can see how it's clearly rigged in favor of boxing. Most of MMA boxing isn't even allowed like spinning backfists. From a gambling perspective, I bet on team Boxing since... well it's just boxing in a tringle. But even through all this BS the MMA team still won 14-11. What should I take into consideration when betting on future events? Does the triangle shape matter that much?
Without a doubt the shape of the ring affects the fight, a triangle is too restrictive, I will be honest I have never seen a ring like that and I do not think it is a good idea, after all there are some fighting styles that require you to react to what your opponent is doing and as such a ring like that discourages defensive strategies and benefits aggressive fighters, also I am not surprised that the MMA team won, after all it does not matter how restrictive are the rules they will have more techniques to use than the boxer and in a fight this is always an advantage.
