MMA aren't boxers, why would anyone expect them to be able to punch like tyson.
not even all boxers have perfected every one of their punches (sraight, left and right hook, uppercut)
i mean compare the amount of tools there are in boxing compared to MMA
if a boxer can't perfect all the punches why would you expect a MMA to be a perfect puncher plus perfect all of their kicks and grapples.
and on top of that, there's more defense involved in MMA.
the speed of a punch is also much much faster in MMA than in boxing.

all i ask is that certain "boxers" on this forum just open their eyes and appreciate what MMA do.
It's great if you enjoy it thats the main thing. And the greatest thing about it is if you really like it, work out a couple times a week, maybe join a martial arts class and within a couple months you could in there fighting.

It's a hobby for thugs not a real sport. Don't be offended, but equally don't force people here on a boxing forum to appreciate it.

I do watch it sometimes but I view it with same level of respect that I do watching World Wildest Street Brawls or Bumfights.
