GLOVES - Boxing vs MMA.. Which Hits Harder? [VIDEO]

MMA & UFC fighters punching harder than a boxer....Punching is their game.

It can't be explained even more since you explained it perfectly. Lol, the only difference is that MMA fighters use the MMA gloves. Boxers hit harder with their gloves than MMA fighters with theirs.

your logic makes no sense. that would only contribute to my point. there would be more stoppages in the amateurs then. I've seen many amateurs get knocked out. The headgear does assist somewhat but not nearly as much as you think. The most important thing in amatue boxing is protecting the athletes. If one gets hit with a big shot the ref will step in and give a standing 8 count. 3 in one round or 4 in the entire fight will be a RSC.

your logic makes no sense. that would only contribute to my point. there would be more stoppages in the amateurs then. Just use common sense 3 rounds vs 6 to 12, 8 count gives fighter time to recover means less knock outs. If you can't understand that than you have a serious problem

One reason they have less Ko's is the head gear than the 8 count if you get hit solid the ref intervenes and gives the fighter an 8 count which gives him time to recover rather than keep getting hit. Than you only have 3 rounds how many pros do you know only have Ko's in 3 rounds or less your logic makes no sense. that would only contribute to my point. there would be more stoppages in the amateurs then.

I think the test is wrong. Common sense tells me the heavier the glove the softer the punch. That's why they use 16 ounce gloves in sparring. If these tests are correct they could use 4 ounce or 8 ounce gloves instead of 16 ounce gloves in sparring and it would make no difference. Their tests had the bare fist as by far the hardest punch. Then they say some padding with a 4 ounce glove lessen the power a lot. But then even more padding of a regular boxing glove doesn't reduce the power one bit more. That doesn't compute. I watch UFC fights all the time. I see guys getting knock out with punches that wouldn't come close to knocking out a boxer using regular 8 ounce boxing gloves.

that's bs. ask the boxers who spar with big gloves and small gloves. it makes a huge difference. just look at the amateur program vs pro. we know for a fact headgear doesn't protect your chin. so the diifference is all gloves. do amateurs have just as many KOs as pros?

This is why MMA fighters wanting to fight in smaller gloves against a boxer? Is not necessarily going to benefit them! If Mike Tyson was allowed to wear 4oz gloves, he would of been a mass murderer! (This is why i think Floyd Mayweather wants to fight in 8oz gloves against Conor Mcgregor!)... Note: BOXING GLOVES, produce prolonged beat downs! Due to the surface area of the glove, so technically that is why boxing still has more deaths and fatality compared to MMA! But yes? Smaller gloves end fighters much quicker. Sometimes a quick knock out is better for you, than a prolonged beat down!

The guy doesn't punch that hard for such a big guy.

Their testing apparatus doesn't emulate a human face in the slightest. I am not convinced by these testing methods at all.

Tldw: It's MMA gloves but only slightly.
