Which sport is tougher Boxing or MMA

Buddy, if these guys want to make some decent money on their jobs, they better pay at least some attention to entertaining the customer. :yep

That's what some of you hero-worshipers don't seem to get - FANS pay these guys' salaries, and they have an obligation to deliver quality entertainment.

MMA, dollar for dollar, just doesn't deliver the entertainment value of boxing - not when these guys roll around on the ground for five minutes a round. :nono

 

What I find interesting is how Zakman avoids getting warned or banned for constantly trolling the MMA forum.:huh


We get it Zakman - you feel insecure about MMA.:yep You don't have any logical argument or perspective - its just hate.

 

YOu cannot come out of college AN IN TWO YEARS BECOME CHAMPION. the ones thatcome out of college and become champion have been wrestling since they were 5 or 6 AMATUER WESTLERS HAVE A LOT MORE MATCHES THAN AMATUER Boxers

 

its not the same thing. MMA comprises of different martial arts. if you have a great base in 1 of them, you can do good as long as you can cover up the other holes in your game. in boxing its different because you can either box or you can't there is no opportunity for someone from a different combat sport to make as effective of a transition.

 

in regards to the word tough, boxers dish out and take much more punishment and is traditionally more a war of attrition than mma. I think boxers need to be able to take a beating more than mma fighters so that makes it require toughness more than mma. muay thai is even tougher tho.

 

boxing is more brutle because if you saw the dean fracis fight on the weekend and compared that with the alexandre gufstafson fight then you see that the gufstaffson fight was stoped after about 5 clean blow and the francis fight wasnt stoped at all even though both eyes were completley ruined before the 10th round

 

Show me an mma fight more brutal than say Magomed Perez, not sure it exists. Most of these mma guys struggle with 3 rounds and that's with plenty rolling about the floor doing nothing breaks.

 

Id say it's easier to hurt yourself in MMA since so much is involved. You don't see tons of boxers pull out of a fight based on injuries, but you see it a ton in the MMA world. Partly because some are stupid and train/ spar at 100% all the time, but you got people grabbing your limbs, neck, slamming you, taking you down and your fighting against it, etc.
Long term damage i'd say boxing is worse. Rarely do you see an MMA fighter take hundreds of punches in a fight to the head without getting stopped. In boxing you see it all the time (granted the gloves are 4 oz difference).

Boxing as almost everybody said is tougher to master. When big guys like Lesnar win a title quickly in your sport...yeah I know he was suppose to be a great NCAA wrestler, but I rarely saw those skills in the cage, then doesn't say a whole lot.
Put any big silverback like him in a boxing ring with even a C level HW... 99/100 times he will cry to mommy.

 

Honestly, I think MMA is harder because your body is not built do withstand that type of punishment on your joints and soft tissue.

Don't get me wrong, being punched in the head, with your brain rattling around is terrible for you too, but I don't see people having much longevity in MMA compared to boxing.

 

They are both tough, but it takes a special kind of athlete to achieve success at the highest level of boxing, plenty of boxers could cross over to MMA and do surprisingly well with a little bit of cross training, how many in MMA in boxing could transition over and have similar success? There are UFC champions who wouldn't even be top 100-200 if they switched to boxing, now some would certainly do better than others, but none would come even close to winning gold...

 

Have you ever tried MMA?

The fact you make out as if the stamina is **** in MMA is hilarious, and when you're on the ground you're making out you're having a break. That's some clueless **** right there.

The ground game is the most tiring aspect of it, you wrestle for 3 minutes with some ****er on top of you then see how much you have on your punches when you stand up and how much you're breathing out ya ass.

I've done both, boxing and MMA... MMA is harder, you practically train for boxing in MMA then you have to add all the other **** that goes with it.


Some right clueless ****s on this thread.

 

Truer words have never been spoken....:good
