    @@Kiercho Conor is the type to sleep his opponents off of one good read. Remember that mayweather wanted to go out with that perfect 50-0 record. If you have a record like that and your going in with a striker of Conor’s caliber, you’re going to take it more seriously then an exhibition with a youtuber. This is not me saying that conor is at Floyds level in a boxing match. It’s me saying that conor is at the very least dangerous enough for Floyd to not play around and lose that perfect record. Especially losing his perfect record to an mma fighter.

Seeing even the difference in Floyd just shows this, Floyd knew for a fact he never had any problems with Logan a completely inexperienced boxer, Conor has left shot power, and is a huge red panty night fight, he is always going to take that more seriously.

    Nope, Floyd led Connor to a trap. One of the most clever traps in boxing is to Gass out his opponent just like what Ali did to foreman. He let Connor threw a lot of punches. If Connor had power, Floyd would have never put himself in the corner. Once Connor got tired, Floyd slowly dismantled him.

    I mean, MMA was set up as an arena for all styles to fight each other. Its literally the most open rule set, boxers can enter and box if they like without restraint. I don't get why MMA fighters should feel burdened to prove themselves in a boxing ring, it makes logical sense that its should be the other way round (from a martial arts perspective).

Pure boxing (MMA fighters usually train boxing as well) may be more "hardcore" as a sport, but its a less smart as a way of fighting. In a true no holds barred fight you can punch, kick, grab, slam etc. why stay put eating punches to your head when you can just take the other guy down and nullify all his best arsenal?

    Why wouldnt an MMA fighter take a boxing match for more money then they will likely in their whole UFC career? As somebody who trained in both boxing and MMA what i can say is this. Firstly the gloves actually make a difference. Punches that would normally land dont because your opponents large gloves block punches that mma gloves wouldnt. Then the stance makes all the difference in the world. Youre more squared in mma to be able to check kicks as well as spawl for a takedown and land fast kicks. This leaves you open for a plethura of punches when you are soley using your fists. Likewise a bladed stance wouldnt translate over to MMA as your lead leg is vulnerable to leg kicks and single legs. Stances are your foundation for combat sports and it takes years to get comfortable in the opposite stance as well as mastering the footwork in the stance.

    @@Teddy-se8qb "What does the boxing stance have anything to do with boxing correctly?"....nothing thats not relavant to the conversation. We are talking about MMA fighters going into boxing matches and why it doesnt seem to work out. Alot of it has to do with the bladed stance and how you have to switch from a squared stance to bladed. Its hard to train out of you in like a year. "Do you talk about the wrestling stance when training wrestling, do you tell you coach "well i would get kneed if i do this takedown?". Im not quite sure what your talking about, if your training pure wrestling then why would you? Youre not using it to fight youre using it to wrestle. Most MMA gyms have modified their grappling art wether thats wrestling or BJJ or a hybrid to take these concerns into consideration. "Do you go up to the muy thai coach and say "i cant do this because i would get taken down or do you fight like thai?"" Why would you worry about take downs if your training muy thai?. The conversation is about legitimate MMA fighters COMPETEING in boxing. Also the thai stance is already wider because of kicks so it does translate over to mma quite well. "Its funny how the MMA community has a special thing about boxing" I mean yeah but no. We are seeing MMA fighters competeing in boxing so of course youre going to see commentary on it. To an obnoxious boxing fan it solidifies their sport is the better combat sport and that boxing is king especially when its UFC guys that was at the top get dismantled by a guy like jake paul. To the obnoxious casual MMA fan usually thinks the MMA fighter will win then after the L its either "the fight was rigged" or silence. But to actual mma fans and people who train its expected and we simply explain why it happens.i have no ill towards boxing ive trained and competed for years but when you transition yo MMA you throw out 8/10 things youve learned and for good reason just like you would going from MMA to boxing

    You don't need to sit through this. (Before i even watch) The answer is: - Bigger, more cushioned gloves stifle their punches & make it far more difficult to get clean shots through their opponents' gaurd. - There aren't as many clinch/grappling set-ups or situations where they can land short punches to stationary targets. - Boxing rings are much larger & have more room for opponents to evade & get away from their shots. - Most MMA guys don't have/aren't used to the pace & style that works in a 12, 3 minute round boxing-match. - You're only able to throw 2 weapons as opposed to 4. - Most MMA guys are training wrestling & Jui-jitsu as well as several other aspects of MMA fighting that don't translate well vs someone who strictly trains for boxing, & cardio designed for boxing.

    Floyd had such control he carried Connor to the 10th for a reason and I can prove it. About a week and half before the fight, Floyd attempted to bet the under for the over/under of 9.5 rounds. Now boxers ARE NOT allowed to bet on their own fights. Everyone knows this including Floyd so why would he try to place a bet if he knew he couldn’t do it? Floyd knew the media would hear about him trying to bet the under and pick the story up. And the news did just that w/ stories saying Floyd tried to bet the under but he wasn’t allowed to! Floyd’s no idiot and did this for a reason. He knew if the story got out, everyone would rush out and bet the under for the fight which would shift the odds for the bet(think of Pulp fiction when Bruce Willis bet on himself after word got out he would throw the fight). And if you remember Floyd stopped Connor in the 10th round. I would bet you anything Floyd had his friend bet the over after the odds shifted. The Floyd trying to bet on himself for the under and stopping him the following round is straight up fact. And even if you watch the fight Floyd seems to not attack to much in the 8th and 9th but turns up the heat in the 10th round. That’s how much control Floyd had in the fight by carrying Connor to the 10th round. Or you could believe that Floyd really had no idea he couldn’t bet on himself after 20 years as a pro with a boxing family and it was just a coincidence that he stopped Connor the round after the over/under was suppose to be

    To be honest, I just think that the type of boxing MMA fighters do is very different biomechanically. At extremely close range mma fighters are going to be opting for clinching/takedowns/elbows/knees, and mma fighters can't use the same kind of upper body movement/footwork as boxers do to build momentum for strikes. MMA punches are a lot more loose whippy punches designed to connect at the end of the punch at long range. In boxing you need to punch through your closer targets more and punch through the guard of your opponent. Actually conor mcgregor is a great example of this, he had amazing hand speed probably better than most pro boxers in his prime, but the mechanics of his punches are designed for chin sniping at the end of his punches which is far more effective when the opponent does not have two big gloves to use to hide those small targets, and has to use their hands for grappling/catching kicks. It's not that mma fighters have bad boxing, it's that the kind of boxing that works in high level MMA isnt the same kind of boxing that works in high level boxing. I don't think Floyd would be a devastating puncher in MMA.

    Its the timeless question, WWYDIRL. If we're talking the streets, I'm not very interested in clinching, take downs, or submissions. I want to put my attacker out with one shot. I don't know if he's got a knife, or if his buddy will bottle me in the head when I'm on top of him. I also don't want to stick around, once the opportunity to escape exists. That isn't to say that learning defence against grappling isn't of use - it surely is. But if I had one tool and one tool only, it would for sure be a KO punch.

    It's been done, the Muay thai fighter has to utilise low kicks because the boxer is very dangerous on the inside. The boxer has to learn kick defense and go for a bit of a more square stance or their front leg gets destroyed. Boxers still demonstrated very very high level striking skills even relevant to Muay Thai fighters, but suffered from the lack of defence.

    0:38 wasn't he a wrestler before? It may be the one thing he is most skilled in. 6:00 i like the idea of similar formats to Triad Combat. It is basically Dirty Boxing rules. I like that it doesn't involve kicking whatsoever ,just stepping. Reminds me of another video i saw ,how boxers were dominating Muay Thai right now. A format of upper body striking only, punching ,elbows, shoulders clinching and maybe standing submission,like in Shoot Boxing,could be an alternative sport to Kickboxing. Could be useful thing to train for,for both groups,to focus on upper body. Maybe allowing Greco Roman type wrestling? It is gonna give a different type of entertainment than what is currently offered. Even with rules seemingly favoring the boxers,weren't the MMA fighters the winners of the majority of matches?

    Yeah Ben askren was a wrestler and was never considered a striker. though even with greco roman wrestling bieng allowed, the boxer would always be at a disadvantage and the fights would likely be heavily lobsided. I think the boxer would sooner take to kicking than any form of wrestling. Great suggestions though, the fact that mma fighters seemingly are winning more fights is the sheer quality of the fighters they have managed to get from MMA I believe.

    A bladed stance is if ur foot is behind ur other foot a boxed stance is if both feet are next to eachother the boxing stance ur talking about is a mix between bladed and boxed mostly bladed so it allows less surface area but a little boxed so you dont lose balance and thats just a regular stance in any striking sport not strictly a boxing stance

    Wrong. Bladed is feet slight shoulder width apart, front toe at about forty five degree angle with toe on imaginary line that goes to the heel of the rear foot. It's called squared not boxed and it is about putting both hands in range, quicker lateral footwork to cut the ring off for example, and a wider range of upper body movement to name a few.

    I don't actually think a boxer is fucked in MMA Holly Holms showed that. But they have to at the least learn some kick, takedown and grappling defence. It's also helpful to pick up a few basic kicks. But if they can do that, the high level striking is very dangerous.

"why cant he stop the most basic boxing move and why cant izzy use the same 1,2 back?" i'll give you the answer. they suck at boxing.

    There is a reason for an amateur system in boxing. I think some people honestly believe hitting focus pads teaches individuals how to box. Even having a few amateur fights and fighting primarily local meaning your own state is not enough. Unless you’re a special talent. Once an amateur start participating nationally and internationally. That’s when it usually get real. Boxing has many styles and unfortunately. Too many individuals these days don’t have a clue about boxing. Kick boxing and MMA coaches don’t have a clue about boxing. Back in the day the commentators would educate the public and explain what the fighters are doing in the ring. Today most commentators are very biased don’t just cheerlead for the popular fighter. Let’s be realistic what are the chances of a novice grappler being able to defeat a world class grappling competitor. It’s the same when it comes to boxing
