How is boxing harder then MMA?

It is categorically part of MMA.

Guys with excellent boxing, who can avoid a takedown and learn how to read different offenses make great MMA fighters, or can. There are some major defense differences, but a good boxer who can punch is a wrecking machine in MMA. Nobody punches like boxers.

Problem with boxing is it's so refined to the ruleset, it doesn't always translate to good real fighting. Going for a clinch in boxing vs. going for a clinch in a street fight, or vs a guy who can wrestle.. I know all about the machismo in boxing, and it's well warranted. But at the end of the day, it's good to be able to fight everywhere. In the clinch, on the ground, it's great to have the technique and leverage to be able to throw people around from the clinch too. It's all fighting, if you are a true warrior you love it all so long as it's in the spirit of trying to finish.

I am a fan of boxing and mma with no biased towards either craft. Massive respect for boxers and massive respect for mma fighters. Many similarity's many differences. Some subtle differences , some not so subtle differences.

Witch is HARDER ?? Well that QUESTION is related to the INDIVIDUAL perspective that is ANSWERING that question. For a dude with a GRANITE CHIN, tons of stamina, not a lot of strength but great punching ability I guess that MMA would be harder, you see what I mean ? However, that does not mean that MMA is harder OVERALL, so the QUESTION does relate to the INDIVIDUAL answering it, but WE in general are looking for a OVERALL answer that represents the MASS's so to speak. So then its a far more complex ANSWER.

Put it this way, I boxed and did MMA etc. The biggest difference for ME individually was to get really good at either sport ONE must train with the REALLY good partners on a regular basis naturally. So when I did this in MMA it was HARD no doubt for many reasons. However, in boxing it was HARDER for ONE MAIN reason above and beyond all other reasons. What reason? In MMA stand up sparring it is FAR more FOCUSED on throwing BOMBs and when and if one of these BOMBs lands "usually" [[ my experience personally and just watching in the gym etc ]] both FIGHTERs will "USUALLY" stop to some degree if a BOMB lands. ****, often its the FIGHTER that LANDs the BOMB that will STOP or at least PAUSE. Usually to wait for a SIGN from the opponent that he is ready to continue. Yes there is no doubt a lot of tough ass gyms that have sessions that are much more INTESNSE, however, those intense sessions are from what I have seen not too common even in the top camps. Whereas, in a boxing training camp, well in my experience you get a lot of old ******* ex boxers that sit on the ropes during sparring and the only thing they are interested in is how well a dude takes a HEAD SHOT and reacts to it, lol, thus if I got TAGGED in sparring in BOXING everyone would cat call me and the dude I was sparring with would be encouraged to go after me. This is as soon as I moved up in level as I don't mean this happens at the novice level of boxing. So the difference was in MMA training/fighting I had lots of ongoing injurys to work through, whereas in boxing I didn't have nearly as many of those injurys to work through BUT all the time I had HEADACHEs, black eyes, puffy eyes, sore jaws, disjointed nose etc even when I was DOMINATING sparring partners. Don't get me wrong I wasn't a boxing wizard and was middle of the road no doubt. What I am saying is that with good sparring in boxing at a HIGHER level one is EXPECTED to take CLEAN SHOTs to the head every time out and shrug them right off. I remember a taller sparring partner that I sparred with a lot for about two weeks one time long ago, his jab was so good even when I would dominate him in sparring overall I would leave with soon to be black eyes etc. Thus he would tell me that I kicked the crap out of him after we sparred but I still went home to suffer a two hour headache with a mouse over one of my eyes, lol.

Thus for me BOXING was harder because of the CONSTANT headshots and ROLLING with them being so much a PART of the CRAFT.

 

Its not that boxing's hharder, but I think there are so many factors in MMA that its easier to pick up wins against people who should be better than you skill wise.

 

Its not!

MMA is much harder physically and mentally than boxing. Its a no brainer, its all the fighting disciplines that exist rolled into one! MMA fighters actually box as well you know?! Funnily enough boxing is part of MMA.

IMO through experience MMA is tougher than boxing in every single aspect. I don't have the time to list the reasons as there are so many.

 

Wow!

Thats all I can say is wow :|

What is this bull ****!!!!!!!

So you sparred a few guys in MMA who let you off the hook a couple of times, and you got a bit of a pasting in a box spar and you dont deal with headaches too well, Mate seriously this is your reasoning that boxing is harder than MMA.

You need to take a trip to a more focused and a more proffesional MMA gym / school, I can name one in Liverpool UK called team Kaobon where let me tell you! nobody gets let off the hook in a stand up spar! :deal quite the opposite.

Why dont you double leg the next guy you box spar and ask him to get to his feet, just apply a bit of top control and time how long it takes him to gas, then ask him to get up and fight .......................... :yep

 

You ****! you should never be allowed to post in this forum again!

 

Boxing is harder because two guys are punching for 12 rounds their heads while MMA'ler just stand in those 5 minute rounds approximately 4 minutes and throw cheap jabs .. ground fighting is really boring.

 

Tell me about it!! MMA ain't too bad when they stand up and throw punches, but when they start rolling around on the ground, it's BOOORRRINNG!!:yep

 

Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

Blah blahhhhhhhhhhhh.

You stated a lot of things, all of which was pretty much nonsense to be honest, and bore no resemblance to anything relevant to the question:

Why is boxing harder than MMA?

A lot like your new post, nonsense and non relevant, why dont you quit sparring and compete? or are you a sparring partner for proper fighters?

 

:deal :good
