It takes more skills, dedication, heart and the whole nine to become a successful boxer..
Thats all great in saying all that bullsh*t. But MMA is the whole fighting package. If you are fighting someone in the street you will not be able to say no holding or no submissions. You would not be able to turn your back and expect the other to stop fighting. You wouldnt be able to bend over and not expect to be hit because there would be a knee coming in the direction of your face.
The art of fighting is a lot more than just punching.
I love boxing and MMA. Boxing is more refined and controlled. MMA is more of an all out battle with no stops by the ref and no ten count.
Another sport that should be broadcast in this country is K1. All stand up fighting and the use of all of your limbs. That would be sweeeeeeeeeeet.
Having the use of kicks and knees adds a whole array of new moves. The ground game has so many good submissions and a whole dinamic of its own.
It can be boring when you get a fighter hold the other one down all the time but boxing can also be boring. When one fighter keeps grabbing the other and spoiling, the boxer could guard all the time not wanting to fight.
If there was as much money in MMA as there is in boxing then you would see the standards rise.
The only problem with that would be that the best fighters would then try to avoid each other in fear of losing there status like many top boxers today.
