    The best strategy for the boxer is to stay on his feet in punch distance. And if taken down get up. Or don't get taken down.

    Best strategy for MMA is to slip punches, shoot, take down and look for chokes or submissions.

    Oh I see - so this thread is really "Best strategy for an MMA trained Boxer vs an MMA trained fighter?". If we're essentially comparing MMA strikers vs MMA grapplers then there's a long history of examples for us to study in the ring and the cage.

    I would avoid the ground unless I was very confident that it was and would stay 1 on 1. But there's still plenty you can do, grappling-wise, standing, or with you standing and your opponent violently placed on the ground. Then there's the fact that you might end up on the ground anyway, possibly due to environmental factors - things to trip on - possibly due to getting hit and knocked down, or whatever - and from there, it's bloody good to be able to be able to reverse positions and gain the upper hand, and to be able to choose to stand up and keep your opponent on the ground where you kick him or whatever.

    The fact is though, someone with decent grappling experience won't need to eye gouge, even if their opponent is. There are just too many different great submissions that can be pulled off to need to eye gouge unless it's basically a "Hah, you want to eye gouge me? Fine, Ill show you how it's done" kind of affair. Which reinforces a point I've made before which is, if you use dirty fighting moves you set a precedent for what's acceptable in the fight, you give the other guy ideas, and you might not be the best one at implementing them, not to mention that legal consequences for the damage you do with those moves may be much greater than comparatively gently choking someone out, for example.

    LOL! Holy crap! Amazing advice!

    ****ing idiots in MMA when they get taken down they don't just "get up!" I think you should coach, clearly you got it all down.

    Get yourself down to an MMA gym and try that out.

    Also ask why Haye who has trained some mma says he cant do that? I would suspect Haye is a better boxer than you.

    :yep

    The only question is, how many MMA fighters would it take to beat puertorricane? Considering he could easily knock out any MMA fighter in one shot, combined with his speed and volume, I think it would take no less than 12 MMA fighters to overwhelm him, and even then I think he'd have a chance just by standing up when they take him down. :think

    Keep it on the feet obviously, there is no scientific answer, its simple, look to land either one big bomb or time things & rush in with a barrage of punches & hope to end it immediately... be prepared to sprawl tho, even during punching.
