Comments Thread For: Joe Rogan "I'm a fan of boxing...Your sport is gettin SWOLLOWED"

I'm not sure who told you that it was,but there is no technique in taking a punch.You don't train to take punches.

No, but you build up a resistance to them because you train for them.

You get used to getting hit. I may have phrased it wrong is all.

MMA takes less skill to win. Period.
You get one big punch in or a quick submission and you win. I've seen it happen more than half of the time.
Example being the top MMA heavyweight Fedor loses by submission to a bum after completely dominating a Werdum.
The best fighter doesn't always win in MMA.

yes. damn that bum. It so ****** that he's one of the best submission artists in the world. He should have stood and take a punch like a MANG!!!

Why would boxing purists care what Rogan says to begin with? Part of his job is to promote MMA and try and break into boxings fan base. He's doing his job. That doesn't mean he is right.

The better your conditioning, the more you're able to take punches. So yes....it is possible to build up a resistance to punches.

1 thing boxing fans dont realize though is the glove size difference between mma and boxing. MMA fighters train in boxing with boxing gloves just like boxers but their actual fight gloves are tiny, harder to see, and harder to defend.

I dare any 2 boxers to attempt sparring with 4oz mma gloves and if they dont get rocked. Punches that would never hit you with boxing gloves on will get through with 4oz mma gloves and you'll have no idea what hit you because you tried to defend it the same way you trained with 16oz gloves on.

Joe Rogan is an idiot!

Yes, because it takes precise science to submit someone.
**** outta here.

You must wish he'd get on the ground with you.

Submissions are more difficult than you might think. First you have to be able to recognize which one to use depending on what position both you and your opponent are in. Than you have to be able to apply it. Setting up submissions is as difficult as setting up your next punching combination's because your opponent isn't simply going to comply with you. In both you have to think while being under attack and worry about opening yourself up and being countered.

That's irrelevant, MMA fighters don't nearly throw/land as many as Boxers. They would actually dance around and cuddle on the ground before they ever trade punches.
It's also been proven 8-10oz gloves hit as hard as the 4oz they use in MMA.
