MMA safer than boxing ???

[Bonafide]

First and foremost I am a die hard boxing fan and prefer the sweet science over MMA but for those of you who think that boxing is a much safer sport than MMA should read this.





Mixed Martial Art is a sport; it’s a mix of all martial arts. If you had a wrestling, karate or boxing event no one would have issues, why is it an issue when you mixed all of these in one event? People might say yeah they have small gloves, they is a good thing, this mean when someone gets hit hard once, its over. Unlike boxing where you get hit over and over, this is not good for your brain at all. Boxing you win by getting KO’ed or towel thrown in (which means your corner had enough of watching you get killed). In MMA if you are in trouble you can protect yourself by holding on to the guy (not boxing), in MMA if you don’t like getting hit you can take the guy down (not in boxing), in MMA when you had enough you can quit by tapping (not in boxing), in MMA if you don’t defend yourself intelligently the ref will step in and stop the fight (rare in boxing, they usually wait until you get KO’ed). Mixed Martial Fighters are educated, smart and very respectable human being. Don’t judge a book by its cover, doesn’t mean because you fight in cage you take that to the streets after. Let the sport grow, use that to bring money in your city, make more events. Both the fans and the cities can benefit from this, its revenue, it can be BIG revenue. My point is, there is nothing wrong with this sport, no one ever died from MMA. Lets make this sport grow, isn’t this a free country…

i didnt even read the whole thing, it just sounded dumb. you get hit with a small glove thats like twice the damage. you catch punches, elbows and kicks to the head. way more damage than a 10 oz glove.

I suggest you read the whole thing. I prefer boxing over MMA anytime but this **** makes sense.

MMa fighters will suffer less head trauma then boxers and will show much less the affects of their fighting in later years. It is true.

on average i agree but like ICE said one good knee is more powrer then any boxer hits with + they get slamed on their heads to the mat

you know what all you have to do is look at an MMa fighters face after a fight compared with a boxers ...fact there were more ring deaths in MMA in a shorter timespan then boxing has ever had that is why they made the rule change in UFC

i think only time will tell

if you've seen the hogan show, im sure you know who his is and its a trip the guy was a wrestler and hes up jacked up or it seems that way he talks about having his knee operated, his hip and injects **** into his spin and thats only from wrestling, so with mma which get hit for reals and slammed like wrestlers who knows what the futre holds for them.

you have to read the history of boxing, boxing has had many rules added through out the decades to make it safer for the boxer
