Boxing is a better sport than MMA. Prove me wrong

Dude, you're just going to have to accept that there are people who don't appreciate artistry involved, and prefer the brutality of mixed-martial arts. For them, masterful footwork, slipping punches while scoring off a jab and a war of constant attrition bores the living daylights out of them. They'd rather see fighters knocked out in a flash or forced to submit.
You can make all the chess/checkers comparisons you want, but when it comes down to it, it's just a matter of taste.
>>67369242
how is that even a question?
>>67369951
There's no question in OPs post.
>>67369873
Boxing is much more brutal than MMA.
What are some genuinely brutal Boxing matches I could watch?
Preferable recent stuff, just two guys slugging at eachother
>>67371329
Diego Corrales vs Jose Luis Castillo(GOAT SLUG FEST)
Lebedev vs Jones
Miura vs Vargas
Miura vs Uchiyama
Gatti Ward (overrated in my opinion)
Gatti Augustus ( underrated in my opinion)
Marquez vs Vazquez 1-3
Berrera Morales 1 and 3 (a lot of technical aspects in those 2 fights a casual wouldn't notice)
Matthysee vs Molina

>>67371273
Only when they brawl instead of box. The best boxers are rarely hurt and even then most boxers can continue to box for years with little wear on their bodies. (1)The average MMA fighter's professional career lasts 3 years, and only half of that is spent fighting for a major promotion. A professional boxer's career can span anywhere from a few years to a few decades, not to mention this is is in addition to amateur experience which is arguably less brutal, but far more noteworthy than training to be a blackbelt in judo or jiujistu at a gym and occasionally participating in a tournament.
Suffice it to say, Boxing is generally, not as brutal as MMA. It's more rigorous, which requires far better conditioning to last 30-45 minutes in the ring, but it's not as devastating to your health. Freak accidents like what happened in Russia when Kovalev killed a guy, or when Nick Blackwell was placed in an induced coma to stop brain bleeding, is relatively uncommon. Less so in MMA.
>>67371458
>>67371329
Povodnikov v Bradley was brutal as fuck and more recent.
I used to think boxing was tough until I got into wrestling and BJJ.
Honestly, grappling is far more draining. Secondly, as soon as a boxer touches the mat, it's fucking over. He's just fucking done.
Just look at James Toney vs Chuck. Chuck smashed him like I smashed that fucking like button last night famigos.
>>67371893
>The average MMA fighter's professional career lasts 3 years
do you have a source for that
also if you want to see high level footwork, speed, and technique in MMA, watch a Dominick Cruz or Demetrious Johnson fight
it's there in the sport, but I agree MMA hasn't been around long enough and covers a much broader skillset than boxing, so MMA fighters are rarely able to develop the depth of technique in one area that boxers can
>>67369242
I don't need to
Have fun with your dying sport friend
>>67371935
>Secondly, as soon as a boxer touches the mat, it's fucking over.
When 2 people attack 1 Wrestler, what good is it trying to take someone to the ground?
If you took my friend to the ground trying to penetrate him, I would boot you into the head.
>>67371935
Hm.. not sure tough would be the right word, because boxing really is tough. Mastering the sport takes ridiculous amounts of dedication and a lot of natural ability, most of which consists of footwork, accuracy and conditioning. If you mean it's easy to get in the ring and just trade blows, then yeah, that bit isn't tough. To be great, you really need to put in more work.
That said, grappling is very draining, but then again, in MMA you only have to do it for 15 to 25 minutes at a time, and even then, you really don't need to do it the whole time. Conditioning is still really important, but far less important than it is for world-class championship boxing. Once you reach that level, it becomes your most important attribute.
>>67371893
>tl;Dr I don't know what I am talking about.
>>67372058
Referring to a sport setting
The same logic can be applied to what you said about a street fight
If you tried to attack me 2 on 1, I could pull a knife out and start stabbing
Or because I'm an American, shoot you
>>67372023
Sure, I can try to dig up a few, but 3 years is the general figure most former pros I know throw around. The ones who last longer typically do so for a good reason (they managed to stay out of danger, or end fights quickly through submissions throughout most of their careers).
https://combatsportslaw.com/tag/average-ufc-fighter-career-length/
This confirms the average length of a career with a major promotion, though.
>>67372143
When you knock someone on the ground in Boxing, you give them some time to recover, that is called SPORT.
In MMA when you knock someone down, you then jump on them and pummel their face relentlessly, that is NOT called SPORT.

>>67372023
Right, MMA does have some fighters who display spectacular footwork, but it's not really the key focus of the sport. Most of the fighters who do display it have a background in boxing or kickboxing. They've just got so many other things they have to focus on that they really can't afford to get too attached to any one thing. As a result, it makes for a very effective fighter, but it's far less eloquent.
>>67372398
Eloquent, from a boxing perspective, seeing good striking is seeing good striking
These people have to deal with kicks and takedowns too, their footwork is far more practical and eloquent in that way
>>67372381

Street fighting is for dumbasses. If someone tries to fight me on the street they are getting their ass beat by 15 spics who don't give one fuck about MUH one on one MUH fair fight or if I'm by myself you're getting shot and laid on.

Street fighting isn't a sport, it's assault. Also, arguably responsible for almost killing the Rocky franchise.

>>67372474
>>67372377
The first rule of a street fight is you NEVER go to the ground
That's just asking for someone to start stomping your head from behind
Very rarely are you dealing with a one on one situation in a street fight and the last thing you want is to be vulnerable on the ground when a guy decides to take out a knife or his friends comes up to knock you out with a kick to the head

Not sure I'd use the word eloquent to describe dodging tackles (either by sprawling or slipping attempts), or rolling around on the ground while struggling to establish position.

Uh.. no, I do understand it. I just don't agree with your interpretation of the word eloquent, nor do I feel it's the appropriate adjective to ascribe to those specific actions.

no, I understand that they're not, but that wasn't my point. Boxing is often more artful, while MMA is generally less so. And that's great in its own way, since it caters to people who enjoy brawling, sprawling and knockouts. Nothing wrong with that. To each his own.

>>67372696
Yeah, that's true. I wasn't saying that they're the same thing or anything. I'm just saying I prefer boxing because you usually don't end up seeing shit like that (mugging, lack of defense, etc.) — there's a greater show of sportsmanship. I get how some people don't really care as much about that as I do, and I think MMA definitely appeals to that crowd. Nothing wrong that. People like what they like.

I'm sorry, I'm just trying to establish how you believe I know nothing about grappling given any of my previous statements in this reply thread. I haven't expressed any opinions on grappling that show a lack of understanding, so I'm guessing you're just inferring that based on my statement that grappling in general isn't "eloquent." What you're failing to understand is that the term is subjective. One person can find something eloquent, while another person views it as gauche.
That said, I never said you were wrong in your view that it's eloquent, just that I don't believe that's the term I would use to describe it. It's not a "you're wrong, I'm right" proposition, but you're certainly trying to make it one. Maybe just relax and realize not everyone is trying to argue with you.

Well actually, the reason I only mentioned those specific aspects are because they're the only ones I would remotely describe as graceful or eloquent, though I still feel either would be an inaccurate adjective to describe them. I'd use terms like skillful, challenging, difficult or impressive instead. Again, this whole debate is subjective, but whatever.
>>67372172

Let us, and people how enjoy fighting, just enjoy all the fights we get to watch in the ring; regardless of the form they use.
>I'm also excited for that new Armored Weapon Fighting. That looks fun as hell.
>>67372638
If you were an actual boxing fan you would understand that "keep your hands up" is the shittiest defence coaching possible in boxing much less with small mma gloves. I mean, in boxing people sneak hooks and straights through the guard, imagine having 4oz gloves on. Being out of range, parrying, rolling with shots then blocking as a last resort. Using your forehead as a last, last resort. In a sport where blocking is almost completely useless and head movement gets you caught with kicks and knees much easier "keep your hands up" is shit advice when it wont do anything.
I like MMA and Boxing, and think that the Heavyweight division in boxing is due for a comeback. I really would love to see the winner of Tyson Fury vs Klitschko face Wilder.
Would absolutely love to see GGG vs Canelo. I think boxing has some good fights coming up in the next few years, it's just all about whether the promotions let the top fighters actually fight each other instead of ducking to remain undeafeted.
>>67373799
I think you're missing what I said. 3 years at a professional level (world class) and 1.5 on average at a major promotion. Keep in mind that this is an average. We're not talking about the stars who manage to last 5-10 years because they keep winning in such a spectacular fashion that their bodies don't take the same amount of punishment as their opponents.
>>67374735
Likely won't happen due to politics. In fact, you can blame Al Haymon for that one. He likes to pad Wilder's record by placing him in the ring with sub-par competition. I think Wilder is capable, but he'll remain untested until Haymon gets over his beef with other promoters like Top Rank and Eddie Hearn over in the UK.
Golovkin is a beast with an insane work ethic. If Canelo stops acting like a diva, I'm sure that fight can happen. What's interesting is that Golovkin has talked about doing MMA in the future if he continues to dominate boxing's middleweight division and grows bored since he's done some Jujitsu and kickboxing and really enjoys it. If he demolishes people with those gloves on, I can only imagine how insane he'd be without them.
>>67372954
Why not add more padding to the gloves? Better yet, make the gloves pillows.

>pillows
You are uniformed about boxing and the human body.
Boxers wrap their hands, then tape them then put the gloves on. Its not to protect their head; you severely underestimate the devastating power of a boxers punch. It is a McMeme punch. Its a punch that will dent a car and break every bone in the hand. The gloves are to protect the hands, allowing you to continuously pound at a mans thick skull without breaking your hand and ending the fight.
I'm 99% sure you have never clocked with a boxing glove. I would much rather catch a bare knuckle than a glove.

>>67369509
its actually proven bare knuckle boxing is much safer than with gloves. The extra mass and protection of the glove causes more head trauma and fighters can throw way harder punches. Without gloves they need to throw more conservative punches and avoid breaking their hands.
Watching elite kickboxers is better than either.

how would that be a counter argument? if it was true (and probably is) it means that in fact boxing requires more endurance, conditioning, chin and is a more violent sport. All facts that are usually true tbqh

>>67392218
why do people still believe that lmao. it's al4ready been confirmed many times that boxing gloves do not offer more protection than mma gloves, also mma fighters have shitty punches anyway most of the time

Leather is known for being tough. If you think a leather glove is a pillow fist, you are underaged or retarded.

>>67369242
>Boxing fans are perpetually insecure about their own sport
Yeah, not about to watch a "sport" that caters to faggots like that
>>67392640
Leather is not as tough as an unpadded human fist.
>>67392647
You have a weak mind and are easy to manipulate if speaking intelligently is the definition of intelligence to you. The guys clearly a retard along with 90% of the UFC.
>>67392678
Every time you speak you expose how little you know.
UFC is so 2015

Why don't people ever talk about k1 or full contact martial arts.
I watch mma and guys just completely drop their guad and don't know how to check kicks or use their knees to check tackles.
i cant
mma is fucking trash and only survives due to hyped up meme fighters
>>67369242
>gets media attention 2 times a year
Boxing is literally Crossfit tier since Mayweather retired. Nobody ever talks about it.

I didn't even know people that think boxing is more exciting than mma still existed.
>pillowhug
>>67369242
Boxing is just a part of MMA.
It's like saying steering wheels are better than cars. Or that putting is better than golf.
Absolutely retarded and redundant statement. Consider suicide for being such a fucking idiot.
>>67392926
Amir Khan is walking out with 12mil BEFORE ppv splits
>>67392926
McGoober is guaranteed to make 10 mil for his next fight
>>67392915
>Look at me I don't know how the entertainment industry works
>>67392955
13 million
MMA is infinitely more exciting and requires so much more skill. Everything that boxing utilizes is utilized in MMA, but then MMA has literally a million more variables that fighters need to take into account and train for.
tl;dr pillowhug is a ded shit sport
>>67392954
Boxing
Kick boxing
Muay Thai
Wrestling
BJJ
All much tougher than MMA. Just because you threw a bunch a shit together doesn't make it better or tougher.
>>67392950
this fight was average as fuck don't understand the hype at all desu
>>67392964
The number 1 MMA star is making what fucking B side to this weeks event is making.
Thank you for further proving the point.
>>67392986
Retard logic.

just stop, this is becoming embarrassing
>>67392964

>entertaining
don't be mad your sport's talent pool is so shallow and the sport so unpopular that you're literally left watching the same 3-4 bums fight each other over and over and the only way you can get mainstream attention is via talentless meme fighters.
>>67393009
>Retard logic.
great argument. i'll take it you concede the point then?
>>67392964
and yet canelo khan still making more money
>>67392986
Boxing is more exciting it has has the most exciting boxers it has had for years Joshua,GGG,Canelo and all UFC has Rowdy and McGregor and Lawler and Lawler is only exciting as he trades and does not spend most of the fight bumming like most of the UFC do. Only WWE fans watch UFC it's dead in UK and most of Europe now only Ireland like it.
>>67393038
TIMBER!

And Tiger Woods has a higher net worth than Mayweather. Dosen't mean im gonna watch some boring ass golf over MMA.
>>67393017
No it becomes watered down and soft.
MMA sounds great on paper. In practice? Dog shit that reverts to homo crawl.
>>67393051
shut the fuck up you shitposting cunt, go back to heem
>>67369242
Boxing Is only 1/3 of an actual fight. I cant take it as serious as MMA. All that hand speed and power mean jack shit if you get taken down and don't know how to grapple. Plus, too many weight classes and orgs. Look at Manny vs Floyd and how long it took them to finally fight. That shit wouldn't go down in MMA.
>>67393095
depends on the fighter
>>67393051
>it's dead in UK
I wonder why. It might have something to do with your most successful fighter being Michael fucking Bisping.
>>67393095
>MMA sounds great on paper. In practice? Dog shit that reverts to homo crawl.

should we know who that is?
>>67393097

Nigga were on a sports bread
>>>/k/
>>67393162
never heard of him. probably because MMA is irrelevant outside of american rednecks and the bandwagoners who follow the latest meme fighter.
>>67392992
If that were true, then how come fighters don't just stick to one discipline and then just win every fight, every belt and become a legend? Seems pretty straightforward.
Oh wait, they can't because they'd get BTFO by someone who can actually fight.

Real fights are like that though. You're going to get someone's crotch in your face.
Real fights aren't Hollywood movies m8. They're brutal. Messy. Uncoordinated. Unscripted and awkward.
>REAL FIGHTING YES YES YES OMG MY EYES CANT HANDLE IT.
>>67393089
you just went full retard mate. what the fuck does golf have in common with mma & boxing. also he was talking about mcmemegregor being a bigger star (that is also making more money) than boxing talents which i demonstrated to be false since a fight that wasnt even supposed to happen between two non-top tier fighters is splitting 15-20 times the money your star has ever made

Stop it. You're embarrassing yourself.
>>67378748
MMA punches are just as hard if not harder than boxer's punches you massive, massive retard.
The padding in boxing is because boxing is for pussies who are concerned about muh safety despite not realising that they cause more long-term damage than no-gloves.
MMA gloves are all it takes to protect your hands, and in fact, strapping would be enough providing you do it right.
You have absolutely no clue about the science behind punching. Stop posting.
>>67393358
These are the same fags who thought wrestling was real into their late teens. Don't expect too much.
>>67393356
Well no shit, every Mayweather fight is going to be like that. Especially against a 22 year old overweight Oscar Dr LA Hoya hype job cash cow.
Go watch Miura vs Vargas, Earl Vs Katsidis, Corrales vs. Castillo little bo.

You keep going until it's over, noob. There's a chance he could have recovered and hit him with an up-kick. You keep going until the referee calls it.

>once there finally is one the sperglords come out of the woodwork and tell everyone that boxing is more popular
90% of the people watching these ppvs couldn't name you a single fighter from the rest of the card
Why do MMA fans only seem to exist on the internet?
