It's not those few shots you take for the flashy KO mma-style that hurt you long term. It's the HUNDREDS of shots you take from gloved hands that DON'T knock you out in the ring. I'm a boxing fan first and foremost, but there is absolutely no question that boxing is the far more dangerous sport. Very few boxers come out whole and unhurt at the end of their career.
Also when you're talking about zeroes on the record, keep in mind that in MMA anyone can get caught by anybody else. All it takes is one minor mistake to get caught up in a submission, and it only takes one shot from an ungloved hand to go to sleep. Very very VERY difficult to stay undefeated in MMA, you don't have any margin for error.
ALright. BUt what about those ungloved hands shots that dont knock you out? ANyway, you have a good point. SInce MMA is not just hitting the head.
Maybe those multiple ungloved shots would be a worry for Cabbage, but that's about it. Nobody else can take too many of them.
I'm a BOXING fan with an opinion like everyone else. Don't know why you've got such a hardon for me. WHy? Because I have an opinion like everyone else? You know I could go back through all of your posts and rip you to ****ing shreds but I'm better than that, and despite your out of nowhere attack on me, I've enjoyed our discussions in the past.....People who make silly and ignorant attacks like that are either young and immature or simply lack boxing knowledge Kindfully yours Jason
A mindful poster with an IQ over 30:happy Thats partly why I'm here Tyga, I'm a boxing fan. Despite being involved with martial arts in the past, in my humble opinion it cant hold a candle to boxing, for a myrad of reasons.
Jason, im so sorry if I offened you . Really.. I didnt know it was that serious. I will refrain from making comments like " realizm being one of them :good " I didnt know it would really bother you like this. I too have enjoyed our conversations in the past ..Im sorry I made a "silly and ignorant ATTACK" like that. I guess I am a little immature. I need to work on that . I sincerely aplogize Yodaddy ( not your daddy, its just my name)
That's why boxing is boxing and MMA is MMA. An MMA fighter has to look out for kicks, takedowns and punches, while a boxer is merely protecting himself from punches. Striking is going to be completely different.
Well I've been training MMA off and on for about a year. And I'm planning on transitioning to Boxing in the next week. What exactly do you mean by saying MMA can't hold a candle to Boxing?
Its really not that serious yodaddy however its these types of things that actually hinder actual boxing discussion whether humorous or serious nobody cares to be attacked for their opinion. Do you? Infact I rather enjoy dicussion with posters that have an outlook much different from my own for many reasons......On to the thread topic Boxing rules and MMA will always be the red headed stepchild in the world of fighting sports, only followed by folks that just got out of the WWE phase Kindfully yours Jason
