Comments Thread For: Top Boxers, MMA Fighters Predict Couture vs. Toney Bout

, Whereas if Toney wins that shows boxing to be better than MMA.

Thats as silly as Whereas if Brock Lesnar wins that shows Wrestling to be better than MMA.

Boxing is part of MMA just like wrestling is a part of MMA. If a world champion Karate fighter where to fight Couture and win does it prove Karate is superior to MMA? MMA is the sport of fighting...you're allowed to use any style(with obvious certain rules)

obviously people understand that it's 2 different sports, but because boxing is a part of MMA, MMA fans will use it as a promotional tool to say that MMA > Boxing.

Also, have you considered the reverse? Perhaps it is not so much that all MMA fighters have glass jaws (like you proposed), but perhaps it's due to them having more tools in their arsenal (Head kicks, Knees) and that they may strike with more power than your typical boxer? The usage of the smaller 4oz gloves would compound this effect and support this notion.

Care to point out the "head kicks,knees" in this particular gif? Seems like one heavyweight got pawed and easily dropped to me.



A heavier glove,in control of a far superior puncher,is always going to generate more force than a smaller glove.


I think you'll find that the vast majority of knockouts scored while standing are actually from punches.

Since the fighters are fighting for such a prolonged period without rest.

Two minutes longer,in fact.Mind you,it still doesn't explain the knockouts that do occur within the first three minutes of an MMGAY "fight".

In MMA, when a fighter gets dropped, his opponent has full rights to rush his opponent with repeated strikes until the referee interferes and calls the fight.

Knockdowns do not occur as regularly in boxing as they do in MMGAY.The right to "rush" a downed opponent is pretty irrelevant if he's already knocked out.These single knockouts happen on a regular basis in MMGAY.
