Nobody can seriously maintain any longer than mixed martial arts doesn't have the same skill level as boxing imo, these guys are just phenomenal. I would love to have that kind of arsenal. Great show.
I agree and its a different skill level. They have more to think about, more ranges to be attacked on too and thats just the hitting part. Front kick,knee,elbow fist are all different ranges so the reaction is honed to just prior to each range. Boxing only has the fist at its own ranges.
Add to that the ground skills and locks you have even more to deal with.
Id love to see someone be able to block a fist,move in, fold the elbow down and lock their arm while still standing, and then use that to take them down. Wont be long.
