Boxers would be absolutely lost the first time they experienced a kick to their legs

[BKM-]

There's an unlimited amount of things a boxer wouldn't be able to deal with, it would be sad. The leg kicks, not to mention kicks or knees to the body and head. Elbows too. And What they call 'dirty boxing', something boxers are not allowed to do in boxing and their refs save them from it. And I don't even need to get into takedowns, submissions(including ones that can be done standing).

It would just be sad to see a great boxer so humiliated and brutally beaten, it's a great art but so limited when it comes to real fighting.

It wouldn’t take long for a boxer to learn how to defend kicks from bum wrestlers

Because of this the standard of striking compared to boxing and K1 is very poor.

But then you still get multiple K1 guys coming unstuck on the feet in MMA fights. Saki, Cro Cop, Reem, Hunt, Manhoef etc. Its just a very unpredictable ruleset where one shot can make a huge difference.

Whenever an MMA fighter vs Boxer fight is brought up, the argument from boxing supporters is the superior punching skills of the boxer would negate the other skills of the MMA fighter.

The truth is MMA fighters know how to take a punch, they do it often and on the receiving end of 4oz gloves so a closer approximation to a bare fist. What no boxer is used to is a swift kick to the legs which can be debilitating if you haven't spent a significant time condition your legs.

In a street fight between the the two a kick to the boxers legs would probably immediately send them to the ground.

- -U already knocked on U back kicking U legs.

What grade U in? 3rd?

MMA isn't a real sport, though. It's basically pro wrestling now that they've added cages

Boxing has more fake and shady **** than MMA.

It would take many years for a boxer to learn all the basics needed to even defend against the most basic non-boxing techniques in MMA.

Naturally, a boxer would not be quick at picking those skills up. The only thing a boxer would become good at quickly are elbow strikes, because it's a similar strike to punches. Everything else is a very long way to master because they're so one-dimensional.
