ofcourse I disagree with this somewhat by Von. As I've said before comparing boxing and mma striking is like comparing throwing a football and a baseball. Same basic concept but completely technically different. The effect of the smaller gloves is much more devastating etc etc. None of the boxers I've seen in K1 have been very effective. I use K1 as an example b/c there is no ground fighting and depending on who you are fighting there isn't always alot of kicks either. Both Botha and Mercer were beaten pretty soundly. Skelton has also been beaten all be it by sumbission in Pride. In a stand up war I'm going to give a good power punching boxer the edge but not by a land slide....by the way yall feel the same way if we sub Wlad for Peter?
I have to say that for stand up striking, there isnt a K1 fighter out there that can out-box a Pro Fighter....

For one thing, K1 fghters flailing their punches, not throwing for alot of effect....

Now as for going up against a K1 Fighter in a Match, I would have to give it to the Boxer...

Our power in awesome, Our defense is increddible, our speed is unbloackable...(Trying hard to sound like Tyson....HAHAHA)

Make K1 Fighters fight 10 rounds and they couldnt do it....
