What a self owning douche bag post.  Not only did you pick an off TV boxing match, but the UFC fight you cited sucked elephant cock.  Frank Mir is SHOT and was just a punching bag/tackling dummy.  Put either of them in boxing gloves opposite Anthony Joshua and lets see what happens.  I'll tell you, the 1st time he hits Overreem in the chin, he goes to sleep.

I actually don't mind UFC.  In fact, I sometimes enjoy it.  But good boxing beats great MMA.  That's just science.

What? That makes no sense whatsoever. There are far more skills require in MMA than in boxing. That should be painfully self-evident. Boxing as a very specialize sport that has had countless generations to refine it's craft to such a high level. The UFC started in 1991. It's in it's infancy compared to boxing. So of course those with athletic gifts and a good background in one of grappling sports like wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu in addition to kick boxing you can rise rapidly.

A pure world class boxer is clueless when it comes to submissions and leg strikes/defense. Far more skills to master in MMA.
