Which MMA Fighter Should Come To Boxing?

Another fact, you could end a fight faster with a straight 1-2 than tryin to kick someone in the head or trying to take them to the ground and trying to choke them or bend a joint a way it shouldn't be bent.

And real men do fight on their feet with just their fists. That's how gentlemen fight. Tackling someone to the ground cause you're getting beat is an act of a desperate man.

 

Freddie Roach actually said (a few years ago now) that the only UFC fighter who could be successful in boxing if he made the switch would be BJ Penn.

 

They'd probably know more about him/boxing than a casual MMA fan would about Jhonny Hendricks or any other MMA fighter simply because it's more mainstream.

 

Lol at wwe and tna you cannot be seriously comparing that garbage to a sport of any discipline. I know there's a lot of dummies out there by do people/adults actual really watch it with interest? I don't know in uk only kids watch it

 

And again, who are the main stars of these organisations? How much did they make at the gate? How many people went to see them? How many people paid for the PPV?

How do you not get what I'm saying? UFC is in the mainstream, that's it. How many different small organisations are out there in any sport? And how many of them would be recognised walking down the street?

UFC (and by UFC I mean MMA because it's all that matters in MMA) had it's day and is now nose diving. Once UFC goes, MMA goes.

 

My point exactly you idiot.

 

John Cena.

 

This conversation always turns into an MMA vs. Boxing thing, which I hate. But what I really dislike is comments like "boxing is only a small part of fighting." That is a fundamental misunderstanding of boxing as a whole. Boxing is not just Am and Pro boxing. BKB, Clench Boxing, Am, Pro, all of that is boxing. Am and Pro boxers limit their repatoir for competition, but you can bet your ass many of them know and can execute the dirty part of boxing. An educated boxer, meaning a complete boxer, with a knowledge of range, angles, counter-punching, clench boxing, in-boxing, etc. would tear someone the f*ck up. Full on pugilism, Boxing, is a indeed a 7 point attack system (Head butts, shoulder pushing/smashing, elbows, fists.) that has THE MOST street/ real life usability second only to wrestling/ folk wrestling. Hell, boxing has a whole subset of grappling and footwork completely developed for dealing with grappling.

Just keep in mind, Broughton era/ London Prize era we essentially the birth of MMA. It included grappling and submission, pugilists had to know all of it because wrestlers/grapplers were involved in prize fighting as well.

Boxing is so much more than Pro boxing, MMA fans need to give it the credit it deserves...

 

No, it's not called "defending yourself". It's a cowardly act of a desperate man. Boxing is a small aspect of fighting but it's how a fight should be, with your fists one on one. Kicking or hitting someone on the ground isn't a fight, it's a cowardly mugging. Smart? Dont be stupid, a "smart" person wouldn't get himself into a fight in the first place.

Fighting has not evolved. That is just rubbish being fed to gullible idiots who believe that shite by MMA heads (Joe Rogan). MMA is just glorified street fighting that is turning (turned) into 15 minute wrestling (man-hugging).
