For Boxing Hardcores.... what would your MMA style be... would you just box

[boxingking500]

hey guys, this question is for the boxing fans who have trained in boxing, or fans who know alot about boxing techniques

if you were say, going to fight in mma. in less than 6 months....

what would your fighting style....

would you just ****, are you extremely confident in your hands....

or would you take time and learn other fighting disciplines

like kickboxing, wrestling,jujitsu.. etc.

"Styles" in mma are just like styles in boxing, very minor subtle differences

It's not like the old days where its boxer vs kung fu master vs wrestler. If you just came in and treated it like a boxing match you may as well not bother fighting because you'd lose.

Id be a submission master.

Nah. You'd have to adapt. It would be foolish not to.

boxer with good takedown defense. kinda like chuck liddell if he had any talent or skill.

[1 on 1]

Since the TS specifically mentioned that the fight would be less than 6 months away. I think it would be difficult to learn mutliple disciplines.

I would however focus on learning how to evade/block kicks, basic takedown/clinch defense. And how to defend/position myself in a "safe spot" if ever put on my back or how to survive if my back is taken.

Obviously, it also depends who I'm fighting, some guys primary style might be BJJ or Wrestling but, how good are they in their style. Who knows, I might beat them at their own game.

With less than 6 months to prepare, it would just be information overload to try to learn "everything" with the given time frame.

boxing, muy thai, wrestling, and BJJ/judo.

for the stand up tough, i would take more of a bareknuckle fighters stance,a hybrid if you will, and use more of the arm and wrist of the lead hand for defense and deflecting shots.
with those small glove, i think that using a boxers defense leaves you too open, whereas with the hands out a little bit you're able to not take as many shots. the turtle defense in mma takes too much punishment.

hands up and elbows in for boxing is fine, but when you can place shots better with those small gloves or no gloves at all, it's better to not take shots off your arms and body like a lot of boxers do. in mma, those type shots have more of an effect.

also the bareknuckle fighters stance also is somewhat of a deterrent for guys shooting in, the operative word, somewhat.

i've worked with both in training with friends and sparring and, i would say form my own experience, that he bareknuckle fighters stance has been better, it also leaves you great opening for counters, and landing straight shots.

don't let the old school stance fool you into thinking that it's outdated, those guys back in the bare knuckle days, had to protect themselves better and had to protect their hands, you can't have someone whaling away on you, they will break your hands by hitting the back of your hand.

back in the day, they called it fencing with fists, and the turned lead hand with the knuckles facing the opponent were because you could drop a lead with your knuckles right on the other fighters nose and shoot a straight shot in with no tell or wind up.

good ****, it works fairly well in mma from my miniscule work with it, i've been studying for a long time.

also, bare knuckle fighting tactics are some of the best in a real life fight situation, for many reason. if you wanna know, hit me up.

you are just covering up for how terrible mma fighters are at boxing. They need to tuck their elbows.

i'd focus on my stand up game and takedown defense. i'd be the kind of guy that would let the guy get up.

Naw, you gotta be a more versatile. Chuck Liddell tried to strictly box, look at what happened to him.
