More physically demading. MMA or Boxing?

[Deeznuts]

I would say Boxing....mma does take alot out of you but, if you get tired in mma you can take a guy down for the rest of the round and just hold him there. In boxing if you get tired you're fkng done

The viloence in MMA? You mean the Violence that has never seen one person die in MMA?

And again explain how only using one fighting style is more demanding than using 4 diffrent styles at once?

Every 'legalize MMA' article has included the it's safer then boxing argument. Don't deny it.

Boxing inflicts more damage on the participant then MMA. Longer matches and rules which allow the fighters to continue under a concussed state.

#1 is brain trauma. That's nothing to be proud of but it is the reality of the situation.

Stamina and overall depth of talent plays a part also, but it's the brain trauma.

You do realize that the braintauma is caused by the boxing gloves themselves right?

Not really. Most of it is caused by having a rule set which inherently weeds out all those who can't take any punch (unlike MMA) and then have the very best fight each other for double the length of an MMA match with knockdown rules.

MMA is more inclusive, but boxing requires a much higher physical toll.

Gloves don't cause trauma the fist behind the glove does

ESPN had the same thing and they had boxing as the most demanding sport in the world.

I've seen MMA guys winded after 20 seconds.....I could maul a guy for at least 2 straight minutes at near full intensity before I started to crash and I'm just an average Joe.

As far as which is more dangerous....well, you tell me which fights consistently involve more blood spillage in the arena and which sport results in popped elbows and kicks to the face. Yeah, the safer sport has to be the one where the opponent can choke off the blood and air flow to the brain until you pass out right?

But thats not the question of this thread! The TS isn't asking which sport causes more damage to a person when they are older! hell if thats the case Pro football is just a bad as boxing with all the football players turning into drooling vegtables when they get old.

physically demanding present and future, including being concussed and stamina being at a higher level with boxers. Different sports but if you have to compare them...there you go. Being hurt in a fight is of greater physical demand then anything involving grappling because broken bones do not kill you and a head choke to the death would never be allowed.
