which requires more heart? MMA or BOXING? (poll)

Wow. Overstatement of the century. Hardly, that fool seriously has been out cold still swinging, comes back awake and wins the fight. How many boxers can say that. He's a wild ass brawler but when I saw him take do that he got my respect bigtime.

Heart is in the fighter not the sport. /thread...... you hit it :boxing:

Heart is in the fighter not the sport.

No heart in MMA?!? Chris Leben makes Gatti look like a quitter. Seriously, dude out cold, eyes closed still swinging. Wow. Overstatement of the century.

hard to say. only guys that have fought in both sports can say

It's a lot easier to tap than to go out getting KTFO like Margarito did against Mosley.

Boxing. In mma, if you're a seasoned grappler you can rest in certain positions without much trouble and gather yourself. You can win with pure grappling. In boxing, clinches get broken up quickly and you are getting punched in the head repeatedly throughout the fight. Just looking an annual death tolls should tell you that boxers sustain a lot more serious damage in their sport through time. It takes some heart to constantly do it. Here's the thing though, there has been MMA fighters (Gracies in particular) that have had elbows dislocated and limbs broken and they go on to fight, not tap. The average UFC guy won't do this but there are some damn gutsy guys out there literally risking life and limb.

You tap out in boxing and you will never hear the end of it.

Why ask that question in a boxing forum?

You get hurt a lot more MMA.

was thinking. I've tried both (briefly). With MMA it seemed like there is no escape of any kind so once your in there, your in there until KO or the long messy decision. I've taken a gd body shot in boxing and took a knee for an 8 count, i tried the same in MMA and got whooped after going to a knee. My take MMA = more heart, but then again at pro lvl in boxing especially the champ rounds I cant imagine the heart needed. Your thoughts? I did both, you're getting hurt and you try to beat another man who have trained for years, so i say they both need heart... BTW, in boxing, usually after round 6 in a tough fight, because of the pain, your heart is needed to continue...

both..you get punched in the damn face in both.. lol true MMA is ridiculous being willing to hump other half naked men on TV takes a lot of nerve :laugh: LOL..kk
