'Raging Bull' LaMotta hits out at demise of boxing

Muay thai's brutal as well .I went to a couple of classes .I nearly broke my ankle where the foot joins the leg.Kicked a sharp elbow right on the top of my foot bottom of angle .Sticking to boxing.Exactly where it joins on the pads .My trainer used to be a 18 stone bodybuilder and got down to 13 .Holy s--t I wouldn't like a thai kick to the head off him.Nearly puts you through the wall on the pads .We done a bit of boxing sparring tho that was alright because of my speed.Hit and run lmfao.Just sticking to an amatuer style tho.I think it's probably brutaler than pro boxing.Them thai kicks are underrated man.I think i'd make a decent 11 stone fighter tho or if I put the hard work in a welterweight.It's the same weight as the pros.

Stfu. I think it's more punishing to the body.Sharp elbows from all angles ,knees from all angles and kicks .Don't forget in mma as well it's something like 4 ounce gloves.The way I see it if I stick with boxing i'll last longer .I'm less likley to pick up nasty injuries.All the stand up in ufc is just muay thai.Head shots maybe catch up with you over the years but sharp elbows and knees just open you up and break bones meaning more time out recovering from injuries while you could be boxing .

yeah that's why in boxing/boxer's record is like either 30-2 vs. an MMA fighter with 10-8. Ugly record, but I think MMA fighters are short lived
