MMA or Boxing?

[Carlo Mig]

Which do you like more? I think Boxing is dying and is on its way out, about to be replaced by the younger and more exciting sport which is MMA.

MMA is not exactly new.

As Batman said, an individual's fighting style is as unique as a fingerprint (though he was quoting Bruce Lee), so all combat is mixed.

Take up Gun-Kata.

Lol I carry a Taurus G3C but I know you can't use a gun in every situation.

Grammaton Cleric Bale with Sword and Gun Kata skillz says otherwise.

I prefer watching boxing.

MMA is nothing to be sniffed at it is a different discipline / sport though.

Look at the IDF and what they use to beat someones head in. It isn't 'let us grapple and play holds' it is lets destroy the person right now.

When I heard that UFC / MMA was making its mark I was excited but that past very quickly for me personally.

have you noticed how many mma fighters can't really manage the basics of striking?

have you noticed that after a couple of years of being punched in the face in rigged matches, most boxers can't throw their punches right or bob and weave either?

mma's lowered talent pool and popularity is more valuable to fight promoters, as a future aspiration.

when cabbageface is all punched out there will be twenty pauls waiting to take his place.

Because in boxing they will lt you get concussed, then stand you back up, tell you to shake it off, and let you go out there and get concussed again. You can get knocked down in EVERY ROUND of a 10 round fight in boxing and they won't stop it.

You get knocked down in MMA and you're probably about to get finished by ground and pound.

Cause it's a vastly different sport and dynamic. Going into MMA with a bladed boxing stance is just asking to be leg kicked to death while going around in a high Muay Thai stance makes you more susceptible to take downs.

I prefer watching yocal HeeHaws fighting each other over who took their last bum smoke or over crank . . . (note to self: investigate drone coverage).

I see boxing, MMA, and most sports as fixed entertainment. The true winners are the managers/suits. And the real losers are the target audiences that get sucked-in.

[Rumpelcrutchskin]

neither

[TwisterCat]

Boxing. More lively.

[itzDerrio]

boxing takes more skill than MMA.

MMA is cool, but theres too many times where its just stagnant because one of the dudes or both dudes are too scared to throw hands or even kick, so they just stay hugged up on the ground. if they took out grappling & wrapping, and forced these pseudo wrestlers to actually fight and throw way more punches, id watch it more. i dont care how hard or tough grappling is - its cowardly imo & any time i see it for too long i just stop watching. i cant stand grabbing in fights.

<3 thx alot <3

well in fact im borderliner (at least thats what im diagnosed with) but jeah kinda a contradiction right? :V

i guess i learned that in therapy to do something with or against my borderlining.

I am much more of a MMA fan. It's far more unpredictable. There are boring fights here and there but I find it more relatable and more entertaining. I respect the skill and sacrifice of the competitors in both sports though.

[Defenestration]

MMA because it's a combination of all martial arts while boxing is only a specific martial art, MMA is what you'll use in a street fight.
