Only prob i have with boxers moving to mma is the bad match ups. They should give themselfs time to learn and take it a fight at a time. Fight low level guys to build up ur game and slowly climb the ladder. Sometimes they get fed to sharks too soon.

but im pretty sure cabuy has a background in some sort of martial arts in indonesia.

never know what might happen, but in boxing, cabuy regularly tanked fights claiming injury.

I agree, Its not fair when you put a boxer who has fought on his feet all his carreer vs someone who can bumrush them and get them on the floor. In MMA you need to know at least 2 arts to be competitive and 3 to really make noise, striking/grappling/wrestling. Boxing is a great addition to an mma fighter but like Ndou said its just a small part of it.
