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

[Mushroom]

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.

It would be much easier than the for the wrestlers who have managed to reach the heights of MMA striking even though they suck at it.

The use of distance and footwork would help in learning the basics of kickboxing which in reality is all that’s needed.

Nate Diaz has crap kickboxing.

Francis Ngannou started off as boxer moved to MMA in his late twenties and just destroyed a lifelong kick-boxer Jairzinho Rozenstruik who had 85 kickboxing fights.

Are we seriously going to have this thread after every big MMA fight?

Boxer whoops MMA fighter in a street fight, end of story. You throw hands in a street fight you don't do fckin takedowns

It reminds me of the stand up routine with Eddie Murphy 'The way he explains the effect that Rocky Balboa has on Italian people'.

Every single time a mixed martial arts event is on? Some weasel somewhere, whether it be online or in a neighborhood 'Will get pumped up and think they can take on the entire world'.

I have mentioned this on previous threads 'Mixed Martial Arts' attracts a certain personality, that I may dislike. I have witnessed this in my life, and I can even see it surfacing online etc.

I did karate as a kid, I am no stranger to martial arts 'But the culture which I see in today's so called Mixed Martial Arts, can attract a character that I may dislike.

I have no doubt in my mind, that a boxer has enough transferable skills to dedicated adapt and learn another craft 'If push came to shove, if weasels started piping up'.

When discussing boxers you’re talking about generally phenomenal athletes. You’re talking about people with lightning fast reflexes, power, incredible stamina, incredible strike resistance and amazing combat iq.
I wouldn’t call that one dimensional although slightly less limited then an mma fighter.
Personally I think it’s 50/50 in a street fight, who ever can apply their craft first wins.
If the fight is stand up boxer will end it quick, if they tie up or go to the ground the boxer is done.

That 'incredible combat iq' is only geared for punching. Any fighting that goes beyond the use of fists and their iq drops to ******ation levels with all due respect.

Even the small amount of grappling boxers do, is suicide against MMA fighters. Boxers clinch and give up underhooks. They basicely help the MMA fighter to take them down. Lol.

If the fight is stand up, the boxers gets his legs kicked and then eats a headkick which he won't see coming after all the low kicks. KO. Have you ever eaten a debilitating kick to the legs from a trained kickboxer with conditioned shins? I wish all you boxing guys did.

Literally everything you said is wrong.

You know why wrestlers can become great strikers? Because they have the threat of the takedown which makes them much more unpredictable strikers. You know what happens when the wrestler level-changes and makes the opponent think a takedown is coming? A punch to the face is coming instead.

Do you understand it a little bit better now? I'm trying to teach you about MMA pal.

Apart from it often doesnt go that way. Justin Gaethje is/was considered one of best strikers at LW. He never looks or threats takedowns and his striking also sucks.

How often does Yoel attempt a take a takedown, or Costa or Diaz or Conor? Not often. There are countless others.

How bout Francis Ngannou btw. This guy is arguably the second best HW and didn’t train any MMA until late 20s.

Jesus are people still having this conversation.

A boxer wins in a boxing match an MMA guy wins in mma

A street fight never happens because they are professional athletes not 13 year old schoolkids.
