Boxing rewards the fastest reflexes, coordination, stamina more than MMA. Elite boxers are better athletes than elite MMA fighters. Shields looks like a better athlete than anyone else in the women's MMA game right now. Just needs time, that was a very close call.

I dont think it was fixed or anything, but Elkin was just really really ****ing bad. How that chick is supposed to be a brown belt I dont know.

Toney was also in there with a former multi-division UFC champ, nowhere near a regional-level can like Shields fought. He obviously cashed out though, regardless ... tapped quick and cashed a check.

Different kinds of athletes. Boxing does require more speed and reflexes but MMA requires more strength because of the grappling. And grappling, kicks etc drains the tank much quicker than punching. Coordination is arguable because kicks are a much more complex movement than punches.
