Boxing compared to other sports??

[Master]

Kick boxing, MMA and UFC are obvious examples. I recently watched UFC and it was brutal, my son who likes boxing cringed when he saw UFC for the first time.

It's hard to get used to for someone who is used to just boxing.

Even when I started doing muay thai it was very strange as you learn and are encouraged to smash somebody in the face with your elbow. Watching boxing for so long I associated elbows as a cheat move that dirty fighters use.
