Am I Being Unfair to MMA?

It's hype because the way it's promoted. It will die down like the stupid ****ing soulja boy song

 

your the one who said:

"The elite strikers of MMA are just as good as the best punchers in boxing."

did i ever say anything about boxers being able to beat an MMA figher in a MMA fight??? NO

i was simply comparing striking, thats it.

now would you please name the best of the best MMA fights you've seen, like i said, MMA is one of my favorite sports.:good

 

But you still made this stupid cross-sport comparison.

And just because I stated that elite MMA strikers are as good a punchers as boxers, does not imply, that they would be good punchers in boxing. All I meant is that MMA's best can stack up very well, in toughness, skill, athletcism and yes, hand striking, against boxing's best. This is, imo, an impressive feat for such a young sport.

 

:rofl

that was in response to your incredibly idiotic comment that said

"The elite strikers of MMA are just as good as the best punchers in boxing."

which clearly shows a lack of Boxing knowledge.

 

That's supposed to be an elite MMA fighter?? he got ko by a jab ??? now I understand why they wrestle in most of those boring fights... Boxing all the way.

 

:think NO

 

Show me any objective measure which demonstrates that an elite boxer punches better than an elite MMA striker like Fedor. And even if this were possible, I will show you at least 50 other fighting areas where MMA fighters would make boxers look primitive.

 

You're a biased idiot. Your knowledge of MMA is stunningly superficial. The most untrained eye can observe that MMA would require, for example, more athleticism than boxing.

 

MMA is not a sport.
It may have spectators. But so does bullfighting.

 

no you're not

its garbage, soft gay porn

 

dude just stop trying,

anyway, name the best mma fights cant wait to see them:happy,


Fedor is gonna drop Rogers, rogers has some serious power but fedor... you know fedor, roger might lose an arm.

 

calm down dude no need for name calling, and if some one's bias here, is you.:hi:

 

Did you forget that mixed martial artists practice boxing but boxers do not practice mixed martial arts?

MMA fighters are vastly inferior punchers. End of story.

i dont know you tell me, who's a better puncher, Fedor, or Paul??????:think

 

I'm a boxer, I train with MMA fighters once in awhile.

I am an amateur and I can fight at 141-152.

I'll say this. Despite being outweighed on a regular basis of 10-20+ lbs there is a VAST difference in my striking compared to an MMA artist.

I'm a heavy handed fighter when I need to be, but I'm known for my timing and tricky little counters/defense more so.

I am by no means feather-fisted, but I'm not the next Urango for that matter.

Point is even being a smaller individual all 'round, I am almost never bothered by their punching power day in and day out. I have however stopped a few of different one's here and there in sparring matches.

Although they would be mediocre/decent boxers if they dedicated themselves more to strictly this, I can see the "jack of all/master of none" quite clearly.

They would never be at the same level as me, or others who are at the national levels.

I'm not being biased, this is strictly from my OWN personal sparring experiences with REAL mma fighters that fight at 155 and 170lbs, and have various specialties such as muay thai, kick boxing, bjj, etc.

:bbb I do admire their dedication to being well rounded though, shows they can at least commit to training. anyways cheers and hope this insight is abit telling.
