Mma Vs Boxing

[bastard69]

I like and appreciate both sports. Both takes skill and a LOT of discipline..But I'll go with MMA, just because it's more exciting for me

[iskurokutoy]

and the Dragon is also unbeaten

 

Si Shogun ang dapat panalo sa laban nila!

[uaeboy25]

nakakalungkot isipin pero totoo na lumulubog ang boxing dahil sa maraming dahilan.

 

mga mukhang perang promoter,

 

maarteng boksingero

 

at napakadaming sanctioning bodies wbc,wbo,ibf wba sorry sa hindi pa nabanggit andami talaga hindi na malaman kung sino ang talagang kampeon.

[Giancarlo Judge]

MMA mas gusto ko yung action dame pwede mangyare...Boxing kung si Pacman ang laban.

[kempaf]

boxing :goatee:

[Agent_mulder]

Me sariling fans ang boxing and the same could be said with mma. Also, some or if not many of the mma fighters do have boxing background and/or training.

mma parin.

 

pero pag si pacman na sa boxing ako

 

ano kaya maglaban sila ni GSP in the future.

[noise105]

Boxing parin ako mga sir. Im a big MMA fan pero wala parin titibag sa boxing.

[Brownman]

Couture owned Toney last night...MMA wins against boxing 99% of the time.

 

grew up watching boxing and a big fan but not like MMA.... there's at least 2 big events a month

[scofish]

Boxing still draws more crowd but in terms of quality of fights and excitement, it's only second to MMA

[kuya willie]

boxing nowadays suck ass( except for pac). masyadong maraming kaartehan. tapos ang boring ng laban, all they do is prance around the ring like Micheal Jackson. While MMA is fast paced , unpredictable and exciting, wala pang maarteng fighter at promoter! this is the new era of combat sport

[Palakol]

I prefer boxing. I'd rather see two fighters stand up and fight like real men, than two guys locked up in a "missionary" position on the ground as if they were re-enacting a dry-humping scene from a gay porn flick.

Spoken like a true narrow-minded, ignorant, biased boxing fan.

[orionquest]

nah, boxing is here to stay.. its too old of a sport and a glamorous one at that.. dont get me wrong im a mma fan rather than a boxing fan.. mma is totally different from boxing, fast paced fights, different set of rules, different disciplines and various ways to win as to boxing's ko and decision.. theres also the aspect of fan base..

 

skill wise.. mma fighters are better.. dont get me wrong but i think even pacquiao nor mayweather wont last 5 rounds with frankie edgar.. who else? middleweights like kelly pavlik will get killed by anderson silva or by welterweight champ george st pierre.. even heavyweights vitali and vladimir klitschko would get knocked out by light heavyweights rashad evans, lyoto machida, chuck liddell and shogun rua. i dread the thought of these boxing heavyweights facing brock lesnar, cain velasquez, junior dos santos, frank mir or shane carwin..

 

both are totally different sports. lets apprecate each kind as what it is..

People from MMA knows this, even dana white, that the mixed martial arts market is limited. Remember the vince mcmahon era of wrestling, It's all but a figment of our imagination, whereas in the 80's, it was king., whatever these sports are, will fade, but the sports of boxing will hang on forever.

[djrs]

Skill wise MMA is better? i beg to disagree..

 

not all MMA fighter knows how to box well.. though everyone can throw a punch.. thats why Mir and penn likes pacquiao skill in boxing..

 

yep you can win via submission or KO...

 

but usually champions in MMA usually good in using their boxing skills.. why? it is the easiest way to win because it uses MMA gloves.

 

MMA is not yet that mature been watching it since the 90's.

 

but for me still both will co-exist...

 

if an MMA fighter fight a boxer in a boxing rules who will win? definitely a boxer will win at a higher percentage..

 

if a boxer fight in the octagon? definitely the MMA fighter will have an Edge on it..

 

for example Brock lesnar is an amateur wrestler and also a good boxer... but now he is a champion.. but still learning on the MMA way of fighting..

[pits_of_jairo]

^ very well said, sir.

 

it's all about them rules. but i think these 2 sports could co-exist. wag lang syempre pag-aawayin, hehehe!

 

picture this, even the nastiest street brawler wont win if they were pitted against a boxer in a boxing match with the usual boxing rules and regulation... same as with a MMA fighter with the usual mma rules. But let em fight in the streets (though boxers and mma'ers has a BIG chance of winning) and we can see that a street thug can give a great fight, malamang madumi nga lang... hehe!

what i mean skill wise is the overall aspect of training for a fight. if i may elaborate and quote you sir "for example Brock lesnar is an amateur wrestler and also a good boxer... but now he is a champion.. but still learning on the MMA way of fighting.." you yourself mentioned 2 types of skills that can be used in mma. thats precisely what im saying. mma fighter trains in various skills in order to have a fighting chance when they step in the octagon. it clearly shows mma fighters should be well balanced in terms of fighting styles when they enter the octagon cause you dont know what strategy your opponent will use. whereas, a boxer just learns to box. im not taking away anything from a boxer. he just trains for a single style of fighting which is boxing.

 

its two diffrent sports, each can co exist.just dont encroach in each others territory. dahil mabababoy ang sport. dont want to see gsp getting kayoed in the boxing ring by pacquiao nor do we want to see pacquiao being grounded and pounded by frankie edgar. thats why i agree 100% when you said the boxer has the higher percentage to win in a boxing ring and a mma fighter has the edge in the octagon.

 

like i mentioned before, its two great sports. lets just appreciate each what it is.

Malapit na malapit nang mangyari yan mga bro!

[DarkCrimson]

Same thing happened and realized on UFC day 1. Boxer vs Jujitsu. Suko kagad si Art Jimmerson kay Royce Gracie. Boxing has too many rules that prevented them to utilize their other body weapons.

 

Un din inakala ni James Tony nung sumali cia sa UFC.

Of course MMA has become more popular than boxing

[joseph1]

Wow. Old thread gets resurrected.

 

Anyway, my 2 cents since I'm mostly active in the MMA thread:

It is/will be more popular than boxing. k*ll boxing? Definitely not since one of the necessary skills in MMA is boxing itself. Theoretically, hands will always be quicker than feet and have the added advantage of not having to worry about being caught in a single for a takedown.

 

JDS and Stipe Miocic (only two that come to mind at the moment but there are quite a few more) are two MMA fighters who come from a heavy boxing background and are obviously successful. Li'l Nog also has a boxing background having been a Brazilian HW and Pan Am champ and is a pretty good MMA fighter too.

Vitali Kliatchko of Germany (from Ukraine), the current heavy Weight champion, has PhD in Sports Science. kaya mo yan?

Yeah, you're right. But some knockouts have been thru punching too. It's really nice to be holistic fighter

[CharlesOngSy]

MMA is much more appealing talaga.

tumpak bossing.. pati nga si Dana White, hardcore fan parin ng boxing kahit president ng UFC. sa International scene i think Boxing parin ang no. 1, pero little by little papalapit ang MMA..
