GLOVES - Boxing vs MMA.. Which Hits Harder? [VIDEO]

Tldw: It's MMA gloves but only slightly.

Their testing apparatus doesn't emulate a human face in the slightest. I am not convinced by these testing methods at all.

The guy doesn't punch that hard for such a big guy.

I call bs, again, on this poorly setup experiment.

Of f#cking course they are similar with force. Its the same f#cking guy using the force.

What is doing more damage when its landing doe? The big "safety" glove we call a boxing glove or that smaller old school bag glove looking MMA glove? Based on watching thousands of boxing matches & MMA fights its clearly the MMA glove. Guys get cut easier, guys get dropped easier, guys get KO'd easier. The MMA glove is putting more of that force into a smaller target which logically should have more impact on damage. If I'm landing 200lbs of force with a 6-7 inch blunt instrument its going to do less damage then 200lbs of force with a 4-5 inch blunt instrument cuz that 4-5 inch blunt instrument is putting more force on a smaller area thus its going to cause more damage cuz its less spread out.

Hoping some cats who can explain this better then me chime in cuz this ****** study is looking at the wrong thing I'd argue to determine the real differences between boxing gloves & MMA gloves.

This is why MMA fighters wanting to fight in smaller gloves against a boxer? Is not necessarily going to benefit them! If Mike Tyson was allowed to wear 4oz gloves, he would of been a mass murderer! (This is why i think Floyd Mayweather wants to fight in 8oz gloves against Conor Mcgregor!)...

Note: BOXING GLOVES, produce prolonged beat downs! Due to the surface area of the glove, so technically that is why boxing still has more deaths and fatality compared to MMA! But yes? Smaller gloves end fighters much quicker.

Sometimes a quick knock out is better for you, than a prolonged beat down!

that's bs. ask the boxers who spar with big gloves and small gloves. it makes a huge difference.

just look at the amateur program vs pro. we know for a fact headgear doesn't protect your chin. so the diifference is all gloves. do amateurs have just as many KOs as pros?

One reason they have less Ko's is the head gear than the 8 count if you get hit solid the ref intervenes and gives the fighter an 8 count which gives him time to recover rather than keep getting hit. Than you only have 3 rounds how many pros do you know only have Ko's in 3 rounds or less

I think the test is wrong. Common sense tells me the heavier the glove the softer the punch. That's why they use 16 ounce gloves in sparring. If these tests are correct they could use 4 ounce or 8 ounce gloves instead of 16 ounce gloves in sparring and it would make no difference. Their tests had the bare fist as by far the hardest punch. Then they say some padding with a 4 ounce glove lessen the power a lot. But then even more padding of a regular boxing glove doesn't reduce the power one bit more. That doesn't compute. I watch UFC fights all the time. I see guys getting knock out with punches that wouldn't come close to knocking out a boxer using regular 8 ounce boxing gloves.

your logic makes no sense. that would only contribute to my point. there would be more stoppages in the amateurs then.
