You MMA fans seriously think they go toe to toe with boxers?

you wont get leverage if you tuck your arms while kicking. if you give a half-ass kick attempt, youl end up on the ground. and you cant use the pro-boxing stance on MMA coz a good wrestler will put you on the ground easily

 

dude your dumb if you think that theres even a slight similarity "being a sport"-wise between those two. you still probably think that wwe is for real... let me tell you something, the undertaker isnt really dead atsch

 

nice call. he doesnt even have a clue why chucks opponents always had hard time on takedown attempts.

 

ok, do most of you know what the first M in mma stands for mixed it means u know a bunch and whoever said boxing gloves hurt more aint ever been in a cage, jermain taylor has been one of my sparing partners and coach for 5 years and brandon vera my kickboxing coach for 8 and Baruche is my bjj instuctor for 3. u need to be well rounded.. in the boxing ring of course a boxer but in the cage or in a street fight and mma fighter and leg kicks so u all know arent suppose to hurt your opponents its to soften them up so the have no power later in the rounds if u dont have your legs you have no power and what r elbows for CUTTING not knock out though it does happen. if u know zero groung work you can get submitted in seconds. every time a boxer gets knocked down he turns an gives his back and stands up in the ring, thats a bad idea u dont give some1 your back cause u get the hooks set in then next thing you know your r pissin yourself wonderin what happen i love boxing just the young kids shouldnt be single minded with there style. and kj noons holds belts in boxing and mma, and vitor belfort could fight in n e boxing ring. point is b well rounded. dont limit yourself. i've been getn my faced smashed for 15 yrs or so, an i love it except my calflower ears haha. everybody wants to support there style, but u really need more than one in my OPINION., but hey i could b wrong. tell me whatcha think?

 

and chuck has heavy hands and is way past his prime, the last thing to go is your strength, but your speed goes and getin knock out alot more when your 37 fighting a 25 year old its just nature.but u dont wana get knocked out be a spectaor cause it will happen no matter how tough you think you are, but thats y the ones on this site that do this mma an boxing for a living are a diffrent breed of people, and its almost insulting if sum people werent so dumb taking out a pro boxer or mma fighter is just the same as beating labron james in basketball, this is what most of us on this website do, an we wouldnt trade it

 

o and chuck doesnt get taken down because he still has the best sprawl in the business

 

Answer to thread title - NO, dont be silly.

A boxer has a punchers chance in the cage.... an MMA fighter has next to no chance in a boxing ring.... An elite MMA fighter has a massive advantage vs an elite boxer in a no rules street fight for obvious reasons but again, the boxer has the punchers chance.

End thread !

 

You used OMG in a post atsch:roll::thumbsup

 

First of all the grapplers are stronger as a rule. They have been training thier core for a lot longer and for the most part the physical aspect is tougher. Second it would really boil down who has the best defence. I believe boxers do a better job of avoiding punches they shade the lead foot a little better. MMA people usually stand right in front so they have more options as far as offense. It is an offensive game. There is also the case of being off balance which can lead to more knock downs. Also in MMA there are more power punches fewer jabs. Remember there is no standing 8 count you cannot cover up if dazed in MMA Boxing you can.

Put any of these boxers in the ring with the true Kings Of The Ring, Muay Thai, and watch them get punched, kicked, elbowed, kneed and then tossed out of the ring for being stupid enough to even think they stand a chance. Would be nice if we could put trolls in - maybe that might shut them up.

 

I would pay just to see the look on their faces.

 

James,

I think the whole MMA world and even true boxing fans would pay to see trolls with a " What the **** have I got myself in for here" expression.


BTW true story of an elite boxer going against a MMA fighter in a gym in Australia recently.


Spike Cheney appointed as a new boxing coach, an Olympic medallist in 1988 and former pro, observed a young MMA guy training at his new workplace and made a few comments until he was invited in to the ring to back them up. Extremely cocky until the MMA fighter, who turned out to be Adrian Pang, broke Spike's elbow in the first minute.


Boxing coach 0, unrecognised pro MMA fighter 1.

 

I'd believe it. Boxers in general (although not all) seem to have this thing for running off at the mouth. It's absolutely incredible. (And I'm not just saying that out of nothing, seems to be the universal experience that fighters in other disciplines encounter. I got to experience it at the gym where I used to practice Muay Thai. (I also practiced wrestling/BJJ at the time, and has previous miscellaneous MA experience) There was a boxing gym in the same building and it's absolutely incredible, the snide comments, the blantant disrespect and the all out **** talking. 100%, not just some, but 100%, of it unprovoked.

I would detail more but odds are the boxing faithful wouldn't believe it even if it was on video.

 

Our gym is the opposite James and thank god for that. Our MMA, boxing and Muay Thai fighters all help each other and get on well together.

We have a pretty firm rule though that if you talk **** about a style then you get in the ring or get out of the gym and that gets rid of any idiots pretty fast.
