To be fair mate that card on paper wasnt one of the best, but in most cases they tend to be the cards with the best action.

In regards to the style or the way MMA fighters throw punches, it's slightly unfair to compare due to the distance of the fighters. Ya will tend to see MMA fighters stretching the punches which makes them look amaturish. Boxers cannot kick therefor they can get alot closer to the opponent making the shot look more profesional. If you stand there trying to throw boxing style punches and im trying to just kick you, then invariably i will land more shots due to distance covered with the respective shots.

Albeit George Sotoropoulis did show good boxing in his match using the jab and hooks very effectively as did Chris Lytle who was a former pro boxer with a record of 13-1-1
