Boxing 1 MMA 0

[El Kabong]

Oh yes the defense is entirely different in MMA. When boxers fight in MMA they usually lose when they fight guys that kick as they aren't used to blocking kicks, see Ray Mercer.

Sure there are boxers who have bad attitudes and tribal tatoos but boxing isn't marketed 100% to and for a specific type of person like MMA is. Just watch the commercials when The Ultimate Fighter is on.....don't blame me for calling the sport out on it, blame Dana White he's done it to the sport.

I can't stand watching MMA and welcome any of those guys who want to come over to boxing with open arms..

I like boxing as science and art.. MMA is a controlled street fight.. There is nothing artful, scientific, or glorious about a street fight.. Not to me anyway..

To the pompous ego maniacs that love MMA, I guess it's a different story.. But give me a sub-par Cricket or Tennis match over an MMA Title fight any day of the week.

MMA, UFC etc are just passing fads like wrestling or even the XFL.

Outside of america and asia these types of sports have very little following and boxing is still and always will however bad it ever gets as the main true combat sport.

Cant seriously see 20 years from now the likes of muhammed ali, sugar ray leonard and lennox lewis being replaced by kimbo slice or brock lesnar (these 2 are the only UFC fighters i know of and thats only thanks to youtube)
