Mma vs box

[mnmc10]

a boxer is the harder puncher. simply cause thats the only thing they practice. the proper stance to throw a punch.

re punching an opponent when down, on a street fight there are no rules. you cant expect your opponent to not tag you while youre down. its a survival thing and honor is thrown out of the window. heck a sucker punch is an effective weapon in street fights.

mma is pretty close to a street fight than boxing so naturally punches while the opponent is down is allowed.

A boxer, in the same way a football player would probably kick you harder in the nuts than an MMA player.

true, however rough mma seems its really not that bad or brutal as the ground is where a bjj practisioner would prefer his fight to be so he wouldnt mind a good striker trying to hit him while hes down thats part of the sport, but its nothing like a street fight tbh there are rules to be bent in mma as there is in boxing, as a martial artist i dont like to admit but even a well rounded cage fighter can easily lose to an untrained person in a street fight i used to work the doors and id see it all the time doormen who thought they where invincible because they went to a poor cage fighting lesson once a week (often just to declare themselves cage fighters to people to try and intimidate people rather than actually obtain any real fighting skill or for a want to actually compete), i learned a good lesson in a fight i had with a traveller in a petrol station as he was trying to bite my ear off and gouge my eyes out while i was expecting a sportman-like roll i got a real street fight where i even found myself having to try and break the lads fingers and grab his windpipe to get the upper hand which just isnt my style like i said im a martial artist, true i wasnt willing to take it as far as him and try to gouge his eye andor crush his windpipe to probably end up in prison and to be honest it wasnt somthing that i would have thought to do myself in a fight if he hadnt done it first but it goes to show how my bjj training was useless in that case, no matter how much you think cage fighting will make you a good street fighter its just not true because there are still rules in cage fighting and in the street there isnt. and youll always come across some nutter whos willing to go to prison over somthing as trivial as looking at them funny, thats why i think the best place to be in any street fight is on your feet to avoid having soft spots like this attacked and aswell if a blade comes into it then there is time to think about turning and running not to mention as soon as a fight goes to the ground nowadays guaranteed some spineless onlooker will then proceed to join in and start stomping you when he feels its safe to.
