Boxers like Jones Jr missing the point of MMA

I think it has to be accepted that these are two different fish ! World class boxer deals with MMA in a boxing match everytime, turn the reverse and the boxer is F****d.

I can't imagine too many boxers that could take a single quality kick to the legs let alone to the head.likewise handling a grappling match, some boxers can't event clinck when they get in trouble so imagine when they get grounded.

I have been watching some UFC this year as it's been a bit quiet with some of the big matches cancelled. I appreciate these guys and what they do but I still consider boxing a much more rounded and structured sport.

Let's not have any of these crossover matchups , won't be good for either sport in the end.

I agree skip it altogether. Otherwise you would have to make it a cross section of 30 seconds of each sport for, 4 minute rounds to make it anywhere near even .
You would have to start with boxing and even then our boys would have to come out hot and firing to have any chance of seeing out a whole round.
