Just don't see it. Unless Wlad can pull a Rulon Gardner, He's flat on his back 30 secs. in the match.
lets put wlad on the same roids as that bitch lesnar and then see what happens o even better take lesnar of his roids
if the best from boxing fought the best from mma, mma wins 8/10. the only thing boxers are taught is how to box while mma fighters are trained in all aspects of combat.
You can teach the best from boxing to be able to protect themselves with the basics , but you cant teach the best MMA to throw punches like boxers , if you dont get somebody like Pac or Floyd on the ground your in big trouble the moment your in punching range it will be lights out , MMA suck at standup compared with a top boxer .
Let's not exaggerate. Those guys look like they started training a week ago.
As evidenced here, karate is really not that effective unless you stick to it for years and years. Boxing on the other hand can give you the necessary skill set in a few months. I'm not talking about making you a champion, but all of a sudden you can hold your own in a fight. Being able to punch effectively, defense, and of course taking a couple of hits yourself.
Now, this is a whole different story.

If you are going to judge, at least watch professionals.
Here we have a kick boxer who's most natural at stand-up and judging by his upper body strength can throw a mean punch. Well, he doesn't even get a chance to throw a punch before his ass is on the ground crying in pain.
Let's be real, a master grappler will not even let it get to punching.
The guys you see in the UFC and such are dimwits with a year and half of training. Not all of course.
P.S. I am a boxing fan, obviously.
HEAD TARGET (efficiency)
boxer (95%)
mma (70%)
BODY TARGET (efficiency)
boxer (90%)
mma (70%)
LOWER EXTREMITIES TARGET (efficiency)
boxer (0%)
mma (60%) but muay thai (95%)
It's not about the discipline. It's about the fighter.
Whoever hits the target first!
I see the MMAtards are still making excuses even though 3+ videos have been posted showing boxers destroy kick boxers and the like.
So when do we see the Kits take on Semmy Schilt?
Didn't look like those karate guys had much real full contact sparring experience judging by the way they threw punches n kicks. The more experienced hands on fighters won in that vid not just coz of boxing.
I'll put it like this. You put a prime Floyd Mayweather Jr., Manny Pacquiao, RJJ, Chad Dawson, either Klit, etc, etc, etc, against any MMA fighter of the past 50 years, and I'm taking the boxer.
You're delusional. And I hate MMA.
