Best strategy for a boxer vs a mma fighter?

You and me both. It's worth a good laugh.
It's why I like grappling so much, you can train at or near 100% against a live and fully resisting opponent, and you know exactly what everything feels like when it happens (whether it be choking someone or being choked, or having you limbs twisted at inhuman angles, or doing the twisting yourself).
It removes the theoretical aspects present in most martial arts.

Same way a boxer does. Drilling and sparring.

 

Move in when they try to throw a kick. Feint so their kicks are off balance and shitty.

 

"I'm genuinely interested now in wrestling against somebody who is skilled. How do you guys get taught skills?"

Hey Lefty

My experience is in most MMA schools you will find a few collegiate level wrestlers who can teach wrestling fundamentals. Like anything else, some perform the skills better than they can teach them. As primate said, it's a lot of repetition and drilling. Where quality wrestlers are miles ahead is in what is called "chain" wrestling, meaning that they transition from one takedown to the next to the next. This is kinda like a boxer stepping off to various angles, then pivoting to a new angle, and so forth. An inexperienced boxer may parry the first shot, but not the second and third.

On the flip side, most MMA schools do not have many classically trained boxers. They would embrace having a boxer such as yourself to learn from. You'll have to let us know how it goes.

 

wrasslin is gay

 

Jiu jitsu is gayest!

 

It's only gay if the balls touch.

 

A frienf of mine trains in MMA...its a constant pain in the arse to try and stay away from takedowns.

I have found a quick downward elbow to the collarbone whilst sprawling always helps. Or simply trying to palm their head away in a different direction.

I dunno, its hard to put into words. The above techniques have worked before and other times made me look like a buffoon.

A question of timing perhaps ?!?!

 

Takedowns can be tough to defend. You just gotta maintain distance so he never has the chance in the first place. As far as the technical side goes, you have to sprawl and throw an underhook or wizzer depending on if he shoots inside or outside. Its really all about balance honestly. And the only way you get balance is by experience.

And yes Jiu jitsu is the gayest martial art I have ever seen. You never win a dam fight on your back seriously wat the fuk is that ****. Jiu jitsu is just a short cut to learning how to grapple.

 

Best strategy for a boxer to fight an mma fighter? Get schooled in grappling, wrestling, submissions, and kickboxing, then try again. mma has an extreme variety of dimensions to it compared to boxing. There are so many ways to take an opponent out, you just never know what's going to happen. I think the discipline required for both boxing, and mma are equally demanding though.

 

Use all that roadwork to your advantage and run away?!?
