i think they're both equal because if a mma fighter got in boxing match the mma fighter is likely going to win. If a boxer got into mma the boxer would lose.
this video response is b.s. lil floydy doesnt know shit about mma and is just mad because its taking his shine.I love boxing.I love muay thai.I love mma and combat sports period.mma fighters are highly trained not street fighters with peircings hes an idiot i hate flod
It all depends on the circumstances. It's like asking what's better - machine gun or MMA...
I hate this stupid questions. If the fight occured in a bar, where there's no place to go to the ground - I'd bet for a boxer. If it was in the middle of the field I'd bet for an MMA fighter.
@gicekraf u obv dont know about mma because its more than going to the ground.wrestlers are better prepared for real life than a boxer.what is a 140 lb boxer gonna do when a 250 guy starts ties him up grappling? boxing is beautiful but not realistic in survival situatuions
@mobflip716 I said it depends on a situation. And what will MMA guy do against 250 lb guy in a bar full of people? Or against 5 guys? Throw one on the ground and grapple? And get kicked in the head by his friends?
@gicekraf mma isnt just going to the ground wtf get it straight.you could clinch and transition into a guillotine theres optiongs many many options.you're not educated on mma and apparently have never trained so I wouldnt expect you to.the purpose of grappling is to get a takedown.throw or submission.and from experience it is extremely easy to submit some tough guy with no training.a bar full of people that just makes it easier to get in close tie him up yes standing up btw
@mobflip716 I trained both boxing and MMA. I believe that it's much easier to hit someone in the face when you're in the bar instead of grappling with him and getting hit in the back by his friends. That's the only thing. It all depends on the situation as I had stated before. I'd never expect anything less from MMA fighter since they are all around. Anyway this kind of argues are stupid. Personally I think that MMA is quite the best solution for 1-1 fights IN GENERAL.
@gicekraf btw you obv dnt know shit about mma.since you only think they take giys to the ground and choke them unconcious or hammer there face into submission.they can also punch,kick,knee and elbow go figure.you shouldnt assume mma is all about the ground game because its not,just like i wont assume all boxers hop around in a circle all day
boxing is how real fighters fight, mma fighters mostly just go to ground as soon as possible. if i want to see that il watch fights at school. if they didnt go to ground all the time it would be alot more entertaining.
i like ufc because mma has boxing and kickboxing and a bunch of other thing that are martial arts and the fight between James toney and randy couture and randy kicked james toneys butt
I prefer boxing more because it's usually by knock out. MMA is a great sport too, but I rather not watch a 2 minute fight of someone tapping out...get kind of boring after awhile. If MMA was all about knockouts, I'd totally be into it. Main reason I'm a boxer instead of MMA.
Boxing is better AT THE MOMENT. Boxing has evolved enough to become highly technical, as refined as it can be, and boxers like Pacquiao and Mayweather are pretty much at the top of what a human being can do in boxing. MMA is a young sport. At the moment, it cannot compete with boxing. Not technical enough, not pro enough. But I think as time goes on, it will become far more intelligent and strategic: probably even beat boxing.
@mobflip716 Yes, and MMA is technical, but not as much as boxing. And while jiujitsu is technical, by nature of the sport you don't have to know it that well.
I DON'T UNDERTSAND WHY YOU ALL DIS MMA LIKE ITS AN STYLE ON ITS OWN, ITS A COMBINATION OF "ALL" COMBAT SPORTS IE: WRESTLING, BOXING, MUI THAI, JUDO, KARATE JUI JITSU ETC... SO WHY DISS A SPORT THAT IS TRYING ELEVATE COMABT SPORTS TO A NEW LEVEL. IT'S A PROVEN FACT THAT MMA FIGHTERS FIGHT MORE OFTEN THAT BOXERS THEY TRAIN HARDER AS THEY HAVE TO MASTER A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT SPORTS. . . . . . SO WHY EVEN BOTHER ARGUEING YOUR ONLY WASTING YOUR TIME AND EVERYBODY ELSES
Good video and good choice. I have been doing boxing for about 6 years now and i totally agree with you in the fact that boxing is better. Boxing is the father of all sports. My grandad was a proffessional boxer for 14 years and the commitment that he had to show was immense, he went out running every single day. He always says to me you need legs to do boxing and you dont need legs to cage fight. all it is is hitting eachother as hard as you can. Boxing is the dominant fighting sport!
@olliebidzz the father of all sports? are you insane or are you that ignorant? you do know there are other fighting styles in the world that are superior to boxing and actually formed the fighting style that you call boxing? your just another ignorant boxing fan. there are styles in the world that beat boxing hands down. MMA is not a fighting style, it is a compilation of different fighting styles to create an ideal fighter. tell me, what happens when the fight goes to the ground? huh?
@imhungry4444 so should i join boxing or mma cuz i dont now which one is better at nocking enemies out in the street so what do you think bro cuz you sound like you now something about this
@saponationis7 if you join a boxing gym you will get a great workout and you will get great foot work and your punches will be as effective as ever. but at the same time it is just one form fighting. if you go to an MMA gym you can work on not only boxing but also other styles from all over the world such as BJJ(brazilian ju jitsu) submissions and grappling,wrestling,karate,or muay tai,etc. the list goes on and on and you work just as hard as a boxer cause your working for any situation possible
i did tkd and boxing and thai boxed and may start fighting next year there both good it depends on alot of stuff if you never trained before i'd thai box to start not mma b/c most mma schools don't teach mma they'll teach jujitsu thai boxing That way you get a more in depth approach to your training Also it depends where you train I trained with 5 world champs 4 in tkd one in thai boxing and also an olympic coach and i boxed with a guy who trained with lennox lewis
i did tkd and boxing and thai boxed and may start fighting next year there both good it depends on alot of stuff if you never trained before i'd thai box to start not mma b/c most mma schools don't teach mma they'll teach jujitsu thai boxing That way you get a more in depth approach to your training Also it depends where you train I trained with 5 world champs 4 in tkd one in thai boxing and also an olympic coach and i boxed with a guy who trained with lennox lewis
it also depends what aspect of fighting your best at to but its better to start with one aspect like boxing thai boxing and so on and then intergrade other styles into your training The thing about mma or even boxing most people just watch it on tv and think there an expert Also your tatics are important to in a fight against and other system Every type of fighting has good and bad points Just start with one with a good teacher thats thinks their
I respect your video, and i respect your opinion, but i will have to disagree in the sentence "MMA is still in its infancy." The oldest sport in the world is wrestling, and it is also the oldest martial art. Lots of people say that "boxing is the oldest sport" but that is a complete lie, wrestling is, and it's been absorbed by MMA, thus, making MMA one of the oldest sports ever. :)
lol hey Raiton45 get ur facts straiight i know what i'm talking about and actually MMA events like UFC actually do better and have more PPV shows I love people who try arguing about shit they know nothing about. Also martial arts or MMA on the street is more effective and also just b/c a boxer gets paid more dosen't mean its more populat moron. On average theres only a few boxers who make alot per fight and MMA fighters fight more then every few yrs also
taught 8 natioinal chapmions I really doubt you accomplished anywhere near what what i did and really you base nothing you say on fact or style or also in an actual street fight with a equally trained boxer and MMA or even a thai boxer
THEY WOULD CRIPPLE THE BOXER because there knowledge base is so much more then just a boxer
Also boxing is no where near as technical and mma because mma you can use your Knees, Elbows, Feet, Hands, Wrestle, and submissions and locks and chocks You realize that they have a better knowledge of the body and how to cause damage to it then a boxer does. I studied boxing and tkd and ju jitsu I boxed with a guy who trained with Lenox Lewis, I met GSP and Joyce Gracie In tkd I beat the pan american champ, french and US chapms and tied the 4th ranker fighter in the world in my divison
lol Well actually martials arts is known around the world when was the last time someone bit their opponents ear on a UFC event Also UFC fights are safer the boxing also and all the pro boxing does is slam UFC mainly because thats all they can do because on average more people watch MMA then boxing Also MMA fighters have alot more reapect for each other. You base your whole argument on nothing valid i bet you never boxed or took martial arts in your life RIGHT
and also if you asked people on the streets names of populat UFC fights and Pro boxers who won titles within the last 5 yrs I bet they could name the UFC fighters before the boxers That right there shows which one people like more and wanna watch Also in towns and cities in Canada and the US compare how many martial arts and MMA schools there are compared to boxing schools BOXING will have alot less
@chrispns10 if that was true then why do boxer self more ppvs then huh?! and make more money.if mma was as popular as you say it is then the ppv sales would be better
boxing has class, something MMA doesnt have at all, most of the mma fans and fighters are rednecks and people who just dont have any class, boxing is a world wide sport, mma is only in america and now it spread in a few other countries but most of the world dont even know about mma, but everyone knows what boxing is, boxing is beautiful to watch, its a more technical sport than mma, i dont say mma is bad, becuz as a fighter i respect all the fighters, but comparing boxing and mma i say boxing
@tazikilla rednecks ur a fucking idiot cain velasquez heavy weight champ mexican, jon bones jones, light heavy weight champ african american, anderson silva middle weight champ brazilian. mma fighters would kill a boxer in a street fight. you boxing fans claim or thats not fair. wrong its a fight.
@BoricuaAltaHueso787 i said most of them and its true, yea there are some non rednecks out there but most are, plus mma are not the best at anything, for example they cant punch like a boxer, kick like a taekwandoka, or take down like a real olympic wrestler, they just know everything to a limit, but whatever kid i dont care about mma its not still a real sport because its not in olympics, just for young kids who cant get into boxing
@tazikilla You chat some right shit most MMA fighters started out as wrestlers or taekwondo or Judo and 90% of these fighters are black belts im going to take nick diaz as a prime example hes an immense jiu jitsu fighter a pro boxer and is one of the most well rounded fighters out there you have no idea what you are on about MMA is a real sport thats like saying Jiu Jitsu isnt a sport its being around for a very long time and guess what it will continue to be around for a long time just like MMA
@tazikilla MMAFighter vs BOXER in a street fight. Really who u think will win. A boxer isnt a fighter there just a boxer I fought with Hector Camacho in my hood in Bayamon Puerto Rico and whooped his ass. This was before he went to jail with my boy. My uncle was a pro boxer. I know Daniel Santos the ex 154 champ. I know Welfredo Vazquez and trust me known of them could beat me in a street fight. dont believe me come to Bayamon Puerto Rico Caserio Falin and find out for yourself im done talking
@tazikilla You are the biggest idiot of them all. Just because something is not in the olympics does NOT make it not a sport. 1) Boxing is known to be alot easier to train than MMA. 2) MMA trains more, and more often, thus making it a more skilled sport.
@tazikilla You really dont know what you are speaking about MMA fighters train harder than Boxers you say im wrong see what ray mercer has to say about the subject im a boxing fan im an MMA fighter its not more of a technical sport at all MMA you have to do everything kicks punches takedowns ground work boxing is just stand up a very limited form of fighting but what MMA is, is the sport of fighting
@tazikilla James Lights Out Toney was being dodge in boxing because every boxer in his weight class was scared of him. He went to UFC and begged Dana White for a fight. He fought Randy Couture and got dominated. The fight lasted half a round. Randy Couture was 47 yrs. old. I could Imagine what Cain Velasquez the Heavy Weight Champ would do to him.
lol Well actually martials arts is known around the world when was the last time someone bit their opponents ear on a UFC event Also UFC fights are safer the boxing also and all the pro boxing does is slam UFC mainly because thats all they can do because on average more people watch MMA then boxing Also MMA fighters have alot more reapect for each other.

MMA to me looks more fun to do AND to watch. I used to take boxing classes and recently got into to MMA. I wrestle so MMA allows me to be able to use some of the exact same moves and techniques and it's just hella fun. MMA, obviously being a mixture of fighting styles allows you to be creative and use a bunch of different moves and I love learning new things and MIXed martial arts allows me to do so.
After watching Anthony Pettis' superkick on Ben Henderson, I definitely prefer MMA. I like that you can be more creative with that sport. I like boxing too though, I grew up around hardcore boxing fans, but MMA is just....so damn addicting and exciting.
its hard to say I like MMA because I love seeing the explosive kicks and jiu jitsu chokes leg locks and arm bars. But people who like boxing usually dont care to say wresting and jiu jitsu.. Personally I love both, but I am a little more geared towards MMA. Probably because boxing wise I know I am not that great, but mma is more geared to me...
MMA is way better..i can see a guy get kicked in the head AND punched in the gut..and not watch 12 rounds of boxers throwing a few jabs each round then clinching to get broken up by a ref..watching boxing is like watching baseball..borring
u cant compare boxing to mma the fact is a boxer is not use to getting hit with 4 oz glove's look at what happened to james tony and randy couture. nuff said plus also there was another boxer back in 1993 that was way more in shape then james tony was and he got his ass whipped by an mma fighter. Oh and by the way mma is not a young sport they used it 2,000 years ago in Rome. u see the gladiators and used mixed martial arts in the roman colosseum they did not always have weapon's to use.
@818Paul You have got to be a complete idiot if you think a boxer can dare compete against a UFC fighter. Reply me one boxer who can take GSP or Anderson Silva.
@MrXablish i can say alot. are you serious? he comes to my gym, to get boxing basics. he gots a alot flaws bro. julio cesar chavez can beat his ass. couple guys in my gym can.
@818Paul Okay I thought this has been established already but let me just point it out for boxers that unlike other martial artists, have not come to the realization that no one martial art is superior. You are correct, GSP would lose in a boxing match. Though we can do this with anything now can't we? Michael Jordan would beat any boxer or non-basketball player even past his prime. ETC.. Yet, if it came to actual fighting (of which most resembles MMA, not boxing) GSP > boxers = better fighter.
hell yeah!!! im w/ boxing!!! i wanna see dudes being puch!!! and go down and kiss the canvas, not hugging each other on canvas, even though they call it grappling, but 4 me i call it hugging and smelling each others ass, i dont know why yall mma fans love it, but i think somethings wrong with yall mma fans......
@Cepical Nah, sry dawg i dont wants some1 2 hug me, and i idont want 2c hunks hugging 1 another, i mean grappling i another, and kissing their ass hehehe, what i want 2c is some 1 being punch and kiss the canvas and i call it science, the boxing science, not 2 dudes kissing their arses, hehehe
@BkLyNsK8r23 hahaha your crack up man shane carwin would swallow and devourer manny. plus boxing is diffrent to mma strikng with smaller gloves so really they have better technique cause it would be simuler to a real fight with no gloves and they would probally get pick apart either with leg kicks or mixing it up. us mma fans have seen before
a boxer will beat a mma fighter in a street fight because boxers train on one thing punching they hit harder then mma fighters have better aim and way more speed mma fighters mostly focus on grapling try to get a guy in a head lock if he striking u with full force 15 hits in 2 secs nd mma fighters suck at striking what are they gunna do jump back nd throw a kick a good boxer will dodge it and just keep striking!!
@BkLyNsK8r23 lmfao @ you, mma will win over boxing, already been proving, yes boxers have more dominant hands than mma cause mma dont just train hands, n a ring, boxer would kill mma no? and opposite for boxer in a cage, but on a street boxer will lose if he is against any legit mma fighter, ima fan of both even ik that mma would win, ur legs arent use 2 beatings n ur body cannot take kicks n knees which are harder than a boxers punch, if ur tooken down, ur done
OMG look at these boxers going nuts!! It's apples and oranges people! If a boxer goes into an MMA fight (like James Toney did), he will get demolished. If an MMA fighter with limited boxing goes against a pro boxer, the mma fighter will lose. The main difference being that boxing is a core art of MMA so I believe that gives MMA the edge in an all out fight. Not to mention the others arts used in MMA. Boxers, just stop crying, the sport may be fading but it won't completely die away
@khujo78 For everyone here, I encourage you to watch National geographic Fight Science. Mixed martial arts trained for many things, thus there not perfect at either. In the show, they measure power, speed, and kill hits. The boxer that trains only for punches can almost kill a human with one punch. its nothing to argue about because its a fact. BUt that boxer can only do that cause he has master punching. MMA fighters havent mastered anything but a wide range of things.
@whatrugonnadocrazy Many watch that show. The thing is, MASTERY of a punch does not equate to winning a FIGHT. If they were that dangerous there would be more deaths in boxing considering the amount of punches they consistently take. That dynamic changes with a target that moves and fights back. I have experience both boxing and fighting in MMA, not just tv shows lol. What you and many ppl here don't realize is that many MMAists have decades of fighting experience before even entering the cage
boxing all the way!!! MMA is not bad, just not great. its got a couple of guys that come in and basically street fight. Boxing is technical and can be brutal. I mean these guys are getting cuts and gashes from punches that are covered with thick gloves. Imagine without them!!! boxing just seems to have all the elements of a good fight, finesse elegance, style, knockouts. And with boxing you actually know whos the better fighter is, theres no room for ambiguity with different styles like in MMA.
@whatrugonnadocrazy How is boxing more technical than clinching, wrestling moving on the ground getting people in chokes its not street fighting at all in a street fight i could pull out a damn gun shoot them in the head or choke them with my bare hands witch is illegal in MMA. You to do a martial art choke or submissions what would be easier choking people with your legs or quickly choking with your hands.
@JACKSMMA well more technical because boxers are fighting under constraints. just punches. which makes them ACTUALLY have to be better at boxing than their opponent. MMA you dont have to be a better fighter to win, you can catch a hold or something and bam, you won. As for street fighting, i would actually say a a leg lock is better than chocking someone. A quick hand choke makes your face open, but iv seen some sick locks in MMA that keep safe and you can easily snap a leg or arm.
@whatrugonnadocrazy im a fan of both, n love them both, but you have to admit there are a lot of boxers who are brawlers just like there is in mma. now i do believe boxers have better hands no questions asked or even accepted lol fighting is using all your tools, now u fight sum1, u think there goin 2 listen when you say, now hands only nothing else. no they wont, fighting isnt about just punching, its bout beating your opponent by any means necessary
TO ALL OF YOU CLOWNS THAT THINK BOXING IS DEAD. BOXING IS NOT DEAD AT ALL. YOU FAGGOTS DONTT FOLLOW IT. . WHEN PACQUIO AND FLLOYD MAYWEATHER FIGHTT AFTER THAT FIGHT BOXING IS GOING TO BLO UP YOUR GOING TO SEE MORE HARDCORE FIGHTS AND THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU ASSSHOLE ARE SAYING BOXING IS DEAD IS BECAUSE ARE HEAVYWEIGHT DIVISION IS WHACK DONT WORRY ITS GETTING WAY BETTER. SO FOR ALL YOU PUNKS OUT THEIR THAT THINK BOXING IS DEAD SUCK A NUTT. P.S BOXING HAS 51 THOUSAND PEOPLE IN THE CROWDS EACH FITE
@BkLyNsK8r23 Boxing is huge i admit it. Some people just like boxing, its like a preference between american football and rugby. its two different sports and i dont know why ppl compare the two.
@ChaseOliver68 i got respect for GSP, ive met him before.
just saying in general. UFC FIGHTER WILL NOT BEAT A BOXER. THE ONLY WAY IS TO DO A GRAPPLE ON THE FLOOR. thats it nothing else. a UFc fight wont last rounds as boxer.
every ufc fight ive seen they always end up on da ground on top of each other. it doesnt hav da same excitement or skiil as boxin. loadsa people will say " oh but u can only use ur hands in boxin but in mma u can use ur whole body" BUT DA THINGS THEY DO WIT THEIR HANDS IS AMAZIN.
im loving boxing still more history and boxer extend outside the ring it touches peoples lives all over the world. in every generation 4 the last 100 years boxers hve become icons , legends and heroes Ali, tyson , sugar ray robinson the list is endless
mma is better and better for street fighting boxing is just hands. look at james toony dude talked all that shit and lost his mma fight in a matter of minits
boxing is just one aspect of fighting...mma covers all aspects.... floyd mayweather is the biggest pussy fighter i've ever seen...all he does is stall and run away...thats not too exciting to me
@mboettcher16 i think everyone know's that, even if you don't watch boxing. there's a better fighter than him, ever heard of manny pacquiao??? he's bringing boxing back all by himself, and he's a very exciting BOXER!
i prefer watching MMA, more dinamic, more & espectacular K.O.'s, they uses legs, elbows, knees, takedowns, submissions, etc... much but much more thing than boxing! MMA all the way
I box. I'm just starting off and would probably lose to most boxers in a boxing match at this stage. I do however have a hell of a temper, extreme fitness and power in both my arms and legs, ive been in scraps. I'd probably beat the shit out of a lot of MMA fighters in their cage. My point is that both are arts. boxing is a masterpiece and MMA is a childs messy drawing. given the time to professionalise in both id say that a boxer would nail an MMA fighter. Thats based on how i am.
@ageeeeeeeeee Yes, infact it really hurt my feelings that you called me a retard. ill learn never to give an oppinion again. Youre one of them sad bastards that goes round criticising everyone arent you. youre really obsessed with others feelings because of how insecure you are about your own right? i've got a suggestion.. like a male. grow a pair of balls right. then come back with something proper to say. or come back like little annoying pre school girl like you are now cause you sound like 1
@banturizmo hahahhaa i wanna see you fight with anderson silva or fedor emelianenko!, i have been practicing MMA for 4 and a half years, maybe you have strong arms & legs, but you don't know how to defend the takedowns and the submissions, winning the posession in the ground & pound, also the headkicks!, boxing is older, but MMA is BETTER
@xvlxslipknot I'm not an expert of but i know how to reverse offensive strikes and takedowns and have learned to appreciate MMA as i studied martial arts for a period of time. I just think after a number of years of trying both and studying both I appreciate the art and skill of geometric movement and responsive judgement of a boxers body transition than that of an MMA fighter who has learned to try filling in gaps, switch an opponent, get busy etc. both are a love, boxing is my preference
@xvlxslipknot and your comment 'boxing is older, but MMA is BETTER' that doesnt meen shit. And in actual fact MMA has been around for 1000's of years, the likes of cage rage and UFC have just brought in the popularity of fighting in an octagon or cage. Both are acient sports, acient greeks wouldve used bare knuckles to fight with fists as ancient monks wouldve used there bodies as self defence
Mma is just nasty brawling, anyone could do that. Boxing is a sport about patience and stadegy. Mma trains half the time into their hands and the other half into their legs. Boxers have twice the knowledge and power on how to get that clean KO with a good ol left hook.
@ririckyrickyracoon03 hahaha ur funny james toney didnt look like he had his timing down against mma legend couture and knowledge about ko with the left hook never worked either hahahahaha
@ririckyrickyracoon03 hahaha nasty brawling? hahahahhaa you have to be kidding hahaha, is like i say that boxing has no more than 6 different punches! this sound like you have said, MMA includes: muay thai, jiujisu, karate shotokan, wrestling, judo, kickboxing, sambo, sanshou, etc.., they manage the 5 distances, fight in the ground & fight up! an mma fighter could destroy any boxer!
@elmansaguapo hahaha you know mma is better, that's because you say that!, anu mma fighter destroy anu boxer!, they only use hands!, we use, hands, elbows, knees, kicks, takedowns, ground & pound, submissions, etc..
@xvlxslipknot But is an unbalanced sport, a strong man specialized in submissions has advantage over every other type of fighter, no matter how good the other fighter is in any of the other techniques. In boxing theres no advantages like that. every style can beat eachother, it only depends in the sbility and no in the style.
@lmchucho GTFO It depends on the fighter in MMA. BJJ guys beat wrestlers. Wrestlers beat BJJ guys. Strikers beat wrestlers. Wrestlers beat strikers. Nobody is one dimensional anymore, and no one style beats another every time.
"Boxing has been there in the Olympics because it has rules and a respected sport"
So was MMA, but in the Ancient Olympics. It was actually one of the most important and well respected events. It was called Pankration (Greek for something close to "all fighting"), and the original UFC rule set came from Ancient Greek Pankration.
"mma is a savage sports"
Next line is "no one wants to see that gay shit men hugging on the ground". The only arguments Boxers have ever had for why MMA sucks.
stop comparing boxing to mma, mma is a savage sports with no holds barred.Boxing has been there in the Olympics because it has rules and a respected sport .besides, the biggest companies wouldn't sponsor mma coz i'ts too violent for them kids to watch..anyway i'm a fan of both

gicekraf 2 months ago
@gicekraf mma isnt just going to the ground wtf get it straight.you could clinch and transition into a guillotine theres optiongs many many options.you're not educated on mma and apparently have never trained so I wouldnt expect you to.the purpose of grappling is to get a takedown.throw or submission.and from experience it is extremely easy to submit some tough guy with no training.a bar full of people that just makes it easier to get in close tie him up yes standing up btw
mobflip716 2 months ago
@mobflip716 I trained both boxing and MMA. I believe that it's much easier to hit someone in the face when you're in the bar instead of grappling with him and getting hit in the back by his friends. That's the only thing. It all depends on the situation as I had stated before. I'd never expect anything less from MMA fighter since they are all around. Anyway this kind of argues are stupid. Personally I think that MMA is quite the best solution for 1-1 fights IN GENERAL.

I prefer boxing more because it's usually by knock out. MMA is a great sport too, but I rather not watch a 2 minute fight of someone tapping out...get kind of boring after awhile. If MMA was all about knockouts, I'd totally be into it. Main reason I'm a boxer instead of MMA.

Boxing is better AT THE MOMENT. Boxing has evolved enough to become highly technical, as refined as it can be, and boxers like Pacquiao and Mayweather are pretty much at the top of what a human being can do in boxing. MMA is a young sport. At the moment, it cannot compete with boxing. Not technical enough, not pro enough. But I think as time goes on, it will become far more intelligent and strategic: probably even beat boxing.

SO WHY DISS A SPORT THAT IS TRYING ELEVATE COMABT SPORTS TO A NEW LEVEL. IT'S A PROVEN FACT THAT MMA FIGHTERS FIGHT MORE OFTEN THAT BOXERS THEY TRAIN HARDER AS THEY HAVE TO MASTER A MULTITUDE OF DIFFERENT SPORTS. . . . . .

Good video and good choice. I have been doing boxing for about 6 years now and i totally agree with you in the fact that boxing is better. Boxing is the father of all sports. My grandad was a proffessional boxer for 14 years and the commitment that he had to show was immense, he went out running every single day. He always says to me you need legs to do boxing and you dont need legs to cage fight. all it is is hitting eachother as hard as you can. Boxing is the dominant fighting sport!

@olliebidzz the father of all sports? are you insane or are you that ignorant? you do know there are other fighting styles in the world that are superior to boxing and actually formed the fighting style that you call boxing? your just another ignorant boxing fan. there are styles in the world that beat boxing hands down. MMA is not a fighting style, it is a compilation of different fighting styles to create an ideal fighter. tell me, what happens when the fight goes to the ground? huh?

I respect your video, and i respect your opinion, but i will have to disagree in the sentence "MMA is still in its infancy." The oldest sport in the world is wrestling, and it is also the oldest martial art. Lots of people say that "boxing is the oldest sport" but that is a complete lie, wrestling is, and it's been absorbed by MMA, thus, making MMA one of the oldest sports ever. :)

MMA to me looks more fun to do AND to watch. I used to take boxing classes and recently got into to MMA. I wrestle so MMA allows me to be able to use some of the exact same moves and techniques and it's just hella fun. MMA, obviously being a mixture of fighting styles allows you to be creative and use a bunch of different moves and I love learning new things and MIXed martial arts allows me to do so.

OMG look at these boxers going nuts!! It's apples and oranges people! If a boxer goes into an MMA fight (like James Toney did), he will get demolished. If an MMA fighter with limited boxing goes against a pro boxer, the mma fighter will lose. The main difference being that boxing is a core art of MMA so I believe that gives MMA the edge in an all out fight. Not to mention the others arts used in MMA. Boxers, just stop crying, the sport may be fading but it won't completely die away

@khujo78 For everyone here, I encourage you to watch National geographic Fight Science. Mixed martial arts trained for many things, thus there not perfect at either. In the show, they measure power, speed, and kill hits. The boxer that trains only for punches can almost kill a human with one punch. its nothing to argue about because its a fact. BUt that boxer can only do that cause he has master punching. MMA fighters havent mastered anything but a wide range of things.
whatrugonnadocrazy 9 months ago
@whatrugonnadocrazy Many watch that show. The thing is, MASTERY of a punch does not equate to winning a FIGHT. If they were that dangerous there would be more deaths in boxing considering the amount of punches they consistently take. That dynamic changes with a target that moves and fights back. I have experience both boxing and fighting in MMA, not just tv shows lol. What you and many ppl here don't realize is that many MMAists have decades of fighting experience before even entering the cage

And with boxing you actually know whos the better fighter is, theres no room for ambiguity with different styles like in MMA.

@whatrugonnadocrazy How is boxing more technical than clinching, wrestling moving on the ground getting people in chokes its not street fighting at all in a street fight i could pull out a damn gun shoot them in the head or choke them with my bare hands witch is illegal in MMA. You to do a martial art choke or submissions what would be easier choking people with your legs or quickly choking with your hands.
JACKSMMA 10 months ago
@JACKSMMA well more technical because boxers are fighting under constraints. just punches. which makes them ACTUALLY have to be better at boxing than their opponent. MMA you dont have to be a better fighter to win, you can catch a hold or something and bam, you won. As for street fighting, i would actually say a a leg lock is better than chocking someone. A quick hand choke makes your face open, but iv seen some sick locks in MMA that keep safe and you can easily snap a leg or arm.

I just think after a number of years of trying both and studying both I appreciate the art and skill of geometric movement and responsive judgement of a boxers body transition than that of an MMA fighter who has learned to try filling in gaps, switch an opponent, get busy etc. both are a love, boxing is my preference

@xvlxslipknot and your comment 'boxing is older, but MMA is BETTER' that doesnt meen shit. And in actual fact MMA has been around for 1000's of years, the likes of cage rage and UFC have just brought in the popularity of fighting in an octagon or cage. Both are acient sports, acient greeks wouldve used bare knuckles to fight with fists as ancient monks wouldve used there bodies as self defence

Mma is just nasty brawling, anyone could do that. Boxing is a sport about patience and stadegy. Mma trains half the time into their hands and the other half into their legs. Boxers have twice the knowledge and power on how to get that clean KO with a good ol left hook.

@ririckyrickyracoon03 hahaha nasty brawling? hahahahhaa you have to be kidding hahaha, is like i say that boxing has no more than 6 different punches! this sound like you have said, MMA includes: muay thai, jiujisu, karate shotokan, wrestling, judo, kickboxing, sambo, sanshou, etc.., they manage the 5 distances, fight in the ground & fight up! an mma fighter could destroy any boxer!

@xvlxslipknot But is an unbalanced sport, a strong man specialized in submissions has advantage over every other type of fighter, no matter how good the other fighter is in any of the other techniques. In boxing theres no advantages like that. every style can beat eachother, it only depends in the sbility and no in the style.

@lmchucho GTFO It depends on the fighter in MMA. BJJ guys beat wrestlers. Wrestlers beat BJJ guys. Strikers beat wrestlers. Wrestlers beat strikers. Nobody is one dimensional anymore, and no one style beats another every time.

@lmchucho Not really. Just practice defensive wrestling and keep the fight standing. You just need more knowledge on mma.

"Boxing has been there in the Olympics because it has rules and a respected sport"
So was MMA, but in the Ancient Olympics. It was actually one of the most important and well respected events. It was called Pankration (Greek for something close to "all fighting"), and the original UFC rule set came from Ancient Greek Pankration.
"mma is a savage sports"
Next line is "no one wants to see that gay shit men hugging on the ground". The only arguments Boxers have ever had for why MMA sucks.
