Boxing vs MMA

[Jaime]

You can be the most powerful puncher in the universe, but if you can't defend the takedown it doesn't equate to anything. Take it from someone with a background in Muay Thai, Judo, Boxing. I'm more of a boxing/kickboxing fan and I have been critical of mma's talent pool and marketing, but it's improving. But the only pure style that isn't kamikaze is a grappling base. As to who could and couldn't cross over it's all down to the individual. As has been the case with guys from all martial backgrounds. For a referance point go and look at how Holyfield controls Tyson in the clinch and negates a large part of his offence.

Little known fact, guys like Dempsey, Johnson and a lot of the oldschool guys were well versed in catch wrestling.

You teach a boxer like Vladamir Klitschkoe basic defense against kicks and put him in a no holds barred gloveless fight against an MMA guy in a parking lot and I GUARANTEE the MMA guy would get his ass kicked.

The majority of fights go to the ground.

If you could teach Vladimir Klitschkoe to be a great wrestler really quickly and about a million ju-jitsu submission holds you might have a point. Also he'd need world-class take-down defenses for his boxing skills to benefit him at all.

I don't know what that means.

that part of what gives them their punching power is the shoes they wear. .

I love you Pellius but C'mon man

Wow...lots of pent up angst on this thread.  You guys need to get in a fight or get laid...

[noworries]

LMAO!  Looks like my toilet after I take a big stinking shit in it.  So what do you sell tough guy?  What kind of "shops".   

It probably is your toilet since you are probably are homeless and sneak into the local library to log onto Getbig.  Dude you have been outed on here as full of shit as much as Goodrum.  Hey post some more videos of other fighting and telling us that's how you fight.  I always love those.  Oh, tell us how big and tough you are too.  Honestly I need a good laugh today.  hurry up McAnusLicker

His place is beautiful, he is a successful businessman, and can back up what he says.  Did you notice that is the exact opposite of you with your endless shit-talking in spite of the fact that you have never been in a fight, much less won one, and you empty other people bodily fluids (and solids) for a living?

[SgtSpar]

Why are you mentioning me? I never said anything about what a single stylist would do in mma and i certainly never thought Toney stood a chance. Oh your a bouncer, that explains it. The one single job that attracts the most number of insignificant trash. All you do is shit talk, you truly are a sickening little creature.

Yeah, I worked as a bouncer in a strip club because it was fun and added $25-30,000 a year tax free to my income for working 3 or 4 nights a week.  During the day, I work as a system/database administrator.  I also train in boxing and MMA, so you can bet this "sickening little creature" is not only smarter than you are, but also makes more money and can kick your ass.

It's true. Just like wrestling shoes are called wrestling for their unique characteristics that help with wrestling. Boxing shoes do indeed provide the traction that you don't get when bare footed. Ask any boxing coach. I say coach because often times the fighters themselves are unaware but just wear them because they are told to.

It was mentioned tangentially on one of the MMA sites and I'm sure if you google it it will confirm the importance of boxing shoes.

That would absolutely be the best day of my life.  I'll fight MunchAnus in the parking lot with no rules cuz I don't want to hear ANY excuses. I think Mindspin and I will miss your fight though, cuz we'll be too busy high-fiving over the ass kickings we just inflicted.

LOL!

So you don't think wrestling shoes, basketball shoes, baseball shoes, long distance/sprinting shoes, boxing shoes makes a whit of difference and it's all just hype? When I had heel spurs and had to wear wrestling shoes during training I definitely got more traction on the mat to shoot and in a clinch. How much of a real world difference does it make? I don't know. But when the difference between winning and losing become very small anything helps.

One of the draw backs with having more traction is I think the risk to knee injuries are greater since your foot is planted firmer. Not so much in boxing though as your not twisting it in a clinch and having to worry about throws.

Don't make me come over to wherever the hell you are.

You train but aren't pro which equates to you being fucking useless. You worked on a door, i have known millions of bouncers, all of them were complete failures at life. You keep training and standing around outside nightclubs, all the while knowing that you have zero potential to do fuck all with your life. Train in mma whats that...? that is what all the twelve year olds say who know fuck all about the arts, you train in a discipline not mma you little prick. All of your posts are crying about mma and mouthing off like the little insignificant fag you are, keep crying.

Lol, you ever hear the saying "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."?  Every time you post, you look dumber.  Every sentence of that proves your a tool.  If someone isn't a pro at something, they are useless?  What are you a pro at, apart from looking retarded?  Do you lift?  If you aren't a pro, you're useless.  You have known "millions of bouncers"?  I guess you are no better at math than logic.  As far as zero potential at life, I'm a system and database admin, own my own house, three vehicles, have a great savings account and have no bills.  I also had the balls to get into the ring and to work in the roughest clubs in Phoenix.  What about you?  Here is another wake-up call for you, MMA has been its own discipline for about 15 tears now.  What have you ever done?  One of us is insignificant all right.  You have never made single logical point and you're still too dumb to just close your mouth and walk away.  I bet you can't even count the number of times you have been punked in your life so you come on an internet board thinking you can be cool here and then you get punked again.  How many times do you need to be made a fool of?  "Millions"?  You're a tool, you've always been a tool, and you'll always be a tool.  Shut your cum dump before I push you down and take your lunch money.
