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.
Possibly not a KO kick but they can control distance with their kicks. Also, leg kicks would be a huge factor. Land a few of them early on the boxer and you'll take away some of his power.
To be honest one good right and it's goodnight, the stead head MMA fighter will fall to bits like a cheap suit. They are to open they stand square on very poor defence, and most don't have a chin
as good as Khan, now that's saying something.
