The current level of boxing in MMA

Mark potter

Striking in MMA is entirely different than boxing first off. If a boxer went into the cage with a standard boxing stance they'd get taken down with the quickness & so do MMA guys when they get too married to striking over fighting. And good luck using much defense with those 4oz MMA gloves. Boxers would get dazed like a mofo in the cage with those lil a$$ gloves just like everyone else does so aggression pays much better dividends in the cage than in the ring. There aren't really any successful defensive fighters in the UFC for a reason. If you tried to throw a punch with those things you would probably break your hand.

Boxing in MMA isnt even on the amateur level. Mostly yes. The only guys I can think of as appearing to be genuinely skilled in Boxing are Conor and Stipe. Also due to the gloves the stance has to be old school(borderline bear knuckle) leaning back.
