Boxing is a little more legitimate because it's bound by rules, MMA is the next step towards "The Running Man" becoming a reality, and is another sign (along with reality TV) of people's degrading standards in entertainment. I am a martial artist too, in case anyone is wondering and a huge fan of martial arts in general.

Typical foolishness from some one ignorant of the sport that does not understand mma and should not talk about before educating them selfs on the subject.

MMA has alot of rules which are striclkly enforced.  MMA by the way is a far far safer sport then Boxing, where every year a handful of fighers die. 

MMA might look more brutal to an ignorant viewer but in fact its safer.

Boxing is only more legitimate becuse its been around for more then 100 years, people grew up on it they are used to it.  While MMA for the most part is 15/10 years into its life. 

lol you are a martial artist, what art ?

I'm sorry my comment offended you.



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

They did not offend me, ignorace can be done away with education and it should be.   So i took it upon me to educate you. 

You clearly lack knowladge on the subject thats why you could post such foolishness like "mma is the next step towards The Running MAn"

K1 ftw

 

K1 is good, to bad its in a talent reccesion now.  The old guard is retiring while the new blood has failed to live up to them.

FEG talent scouts have also dropped the ball, bringing in more freak show types then real talented fighters.

I find boxing too boring. The only part I like is the KO punches - I'm not a big fan of the technical aspect of boxing (my dad is a big fan of that). MMA is a quicker pace, which I enjoy.

Dude wtf type of boxing have you been watching.

Ever see Pacquiao Cotto Mosley Adamek Haye fight ? Watch Briggs vs Adamek, its a 12 round Brawl.  Or Pacmans destrustion of Hatton and Oscar or his wars with the Mexican fighters. 

You need to follow the boxers that have the style you find entertaining.  Stay away from snore fests like Dawson Vlad Hopkins. 

I stopped watching boxing a decade ago - I don't recognize any of those boxers, and quite frankly don't care to.

I do a pretty traditional Korean Tae Kwon Do. My main qualm with MMA is that I've had it just absolutely pounded into my head, over and over that we never use martial arts to attack someone. Martial arts are for self-defense and for health, not beating the crap out of someone. It goes against what I have been taught about martial arts.

Then you'd be opposed to boxing, kickboxing, etc then, correct?
