Quick reminder that this guy on the floor thought he could beat Wilder in a boxing fight

Dos Santos is a Glass Jawed fighter. He wouldn’t hold up very well in Boxing based on that alone.

 

MMA fans like to disrespect boxing while ignoring the fact that the most dangerous MMA fighters have good striking ability combined with good takedown defense.

These same people were probably Conor McGregor fans, who you know, mostly boxed.

 

Man, again somebody who probably never had a pair of small sized gloves on his hands....it's annoying.

1. Ngannou and JDS both are freakin big HWs, especially Ngannou is a physical beast. He doesn't have to be a perfect striker and he isn't but he has good short punches and if they're landing it's over. JDS normally is a better striker technically especially with his low kicks but if you're facing a guy like Ngannou you probably acting and moving not like you face somebody else. It was a horrendous attempt by JDS but judging he's **** or he can't box (ofc he can't box like a pro boxer, he's fighting in MMA ffs) ist just very, very ignorant. It's like saying Dustin Nichols beat Dominic Breazeale because he lasted longer with Wilder. LOL!

2. How often you have guys in pro boxing throwig **** punches, sloppy punches, losing balance or and ending up in bad spots? Often. But those guys having big gloves on their hands and they're not in trouble because somebody takes you down and GNP you with hammerfists.

3. If you look at the current UFC champions it's a FACT that we don't see many pure STRIKERS there.

HW: Cormier - Wrestler
LHW: Jones - allround
MW: Whittaker - Karate
WW: Usman - Wrestling/JJ
LW: Khabib - Wrestling
FW: Holloway - Stand-up fighter, probably no pure striker but he is the only champ who comes close to our criteria as his boxing his his main strength in the stand up
BW/FW: Cejudo - Wrestling

So what do you guys want to tell us here?

Boxing ISN'T core of MMA. Boxing is just one part and it's not very important. There are several examples. Last famous one was McGregor getting dropped by Khabib with big punch, a good striker like McGregor who lasted several rounds with Floyd and even won rounds, got destroyed in the stand up by a guy who was supposed to lose clearly in the stand up.

Boxing with small sized gloves also completly different thing to boxing with big gloves. Give Boxers small MMA gloves and let them fight in a boxing ring under boxing rules and they would look like ****. I guarantee you that!

But what i am writing here? Most of you never put a pair of MMA gloves on so it's probably a myth for you guys.

Of course the punch was horrendous. But JDS isn't the first guy who is acting sloppy under pressure and if a guy like NGannou stands in front you you're probably not boxing like you face another opponent. Furthermore JDS never had great defense so he's vulnerable anyway, chin also not the best anymore.

I thnk calling out Wilder from JDS perspective was dumb and Wilder would kill him in a boxing ring, we all know that but the MMA hate in here is just disgusting and pathetic, you clowns acting like 12yo fangirls of boxing after Paulie get hammered by a former UFC bum with negative fighting record. Live with it. In a boxing ring boxers are winning those fights easily. But without their big gloves they're just some random guys doing combat sports and they're getting hammered anywhere else, i guarantee you that.

 

just a different sport in boxing you don't have to worry about the take down and can concentrate on your hands
