But, in truth, only the better boxers look really good when they throw punches. I’ve seen plenty of amateurs and low-level pros that don’t look any better than MMA guys when they deliver blows. Hell, even a former world champion, Wilder, doesn’t look great throwing punches. Lol
Although I much prefer watching boxing in general, I definitely appreciate a good UFC match. There is certainly a lot of skill involved. I watched the first seven or so UFCs, but lost interest when it started to morph into what we now regard as “mixed martial arts”. Ultimately (no pun intended haha), MMA is much more like a real fight than boxing. There are far less rules — street fights involve grappling, and often wind up on the ground.
