Boxing is No1

[DannyV297]

I've tried to watch UFC, I just can't get excited about it. That being said, they seem to have the pulse of the young demo from a marketing standpoint. I don't knock it, just really don't care much about it

[Dia bando]

I have been to a MMA gym there boxing skills, were in a word terrible sorry striking they asked
a person from a boxing gym, to give them some pointers this guy was nothing special.
The beast of the MMA gym was handed a beating, by a mediocre boxer,! remember this guy
fought in the UFC for a World title, he had about 4 stone on the boxer.
Yes I may be harsh narrow minded and a twat but I say it as I see it, MMA is full of steroid induced
fucking idiots.

[Max Power]

You'd be about right Dia Bando.

At top level I believe most professional elite boxers would likely dish up there MMA counterparts even despite being limited to punching because they are so much more professional at it rather than being just decent at many things. Some of those rush in leg tackles they do I can't see them getting away with against some pro boxers and anyone who watches K1 knows that most of those fights finish n a straight right hand anyway, in kickboxing punching is still more important (and much more faggish as well!)

James Toney didn't fare too well

[Fenster]

To be fair why would you expect an MMA fighter to compete with a top boxer at purely boxing? Boxing is just one part of their game.

I would bet my house on any half-decent MMA fighter slaughtering any great boxer everyday of the week. One man punches, the other punches, kicks, knees, elbows, smashes you to the floor and twists your arms and legs up.

I don't understand why people can't be fans of both, they are so different.

Neither is harming the other.

Anderson being out for awhile has hurt mma.

George st pierre has left the sport for awhile and those are two of the biggest names.

No more brock lesnar and other characters but mma is still a massive sport and there seems to be so many companies out there!

I prefer boxing but like the stand up fights in mma.

Cant we just like both?

[Andre]

Explain "fan friendly"??

-Multiple free cards per month.

-Undercard fights of all PPV's on free TV.

-Big/exciting fights that the fans want to see get made (because its all in house and there's no I WONT WORK WITH THAT PROMOTER nonsense)

-Tons of interactive fan expos that make UFC superstars much more accessible than boxing's superstars. Fans get to meet and hang out with the champs and top p4p guys in the sport: can the same be said for the top boxing stars? On the MMA forum I post at, meeting UFC superstars is a very common occurance: how many people here have met Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo, ect?

Yeah they market it in the smartest way, its more accessible to the fans even attracts thousands of non fight minded people; people who cant follow fast punches combinations and movement, they cant see the subtleties in boxing, but they can see whats going on in MMA so it isnt going anywhere but up in numbers.

Put the best mma guy against the best boxer and put them in a car park..no rules..the winner is the choice..and the real tough guy.

(Floyd is not the best pick for street fighting on this occasion)

[Dia bando]

The simple facts are I have tried to watch MMA, and it does nothing to excite me some may think
it's skilful, others may not we must remember as individuals we like different things.
Yes in MMA they take there licks, sorry to say I would not go to a MMA show, I no a few that
are MMA fighters, I've had free tickets but declined.
I have paid to watch Pro and amateur boxing, so to. me BOXING IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE No 1 .

[Max Power]

Amateurish. Rolling around on the fucking floor. Those are things that come to mind.

Kickboxing can be shown to be completely inferior to boxing. Whilst theoretically and in some instances MMA should and would be more effective than boxing I still think the toppest level boxers would KO most MMA guys. Show me an MMA fighter that could get past the long powerful fast jab of Wladimir or Lewis, or one that can succeed in "taking down" a raging prime Mike Tyson? The don't even look like they could beat them imo. But that's just an opinion.

In terms of watchability you will never find a Manny Pacquiao or an Erik Morales, a Mike Tyson or Lennox Lewis in MMA.

[Master]

Boxing is number 1.

However I remember Lennox sparring with Jeremy Williams and Lewis was battering him. Williams is a black belt and basically dropped Lennox twice hard on the floor with his martial arts moves because he could not beat him at boxing.

[Max Power]

In my post above I made mistake, I meant kickboxing can be shown INFERIOR to boxing lol

[Max Power]

I don't think any boxer is slow or weak enough to be troubled by a kick from a comparable sized athlete. I think the MMA guy must secure a takedown to beat the boxer which is a likely scenario. However is is also likely that any of those guys trying such a move on a professional boxer is going to quickly have their brains punched in or simply KO'd if they do not succeed.

Boxing is the closest and fastest striking art therefore requires the fastest of reflexes than any other form of combat. That much will never change.

Unfortunately the free cards are disappearing due to this new UFC fight pass online scam.

Hopefully they return as they are much appreciated as I never buy a UFC ppv anymore.
