Boxers vs. MMA fighters

Watching combat sports are always fun to watch. But learning it is even better. When watching either boxing or MMA, it makes you want to learn it and do what you see on T.V. Even way back then, fighting has been a sport and people would love to watch it or learning it and as time go by. There are more and more fighting styles that are being taught.

Boxing has been one of the most popular combat sports to learn. Every body knows boxing, so boxing is your typical combat sports to learn with along side with karate. But a boxer can only use his hand to fight. He/she cannot use anything else. If they kicked, elbow, knee, or wrestle their opponent. Most likely they will be disqualify.

MMA is now the fastest growing sports in the world. It's now being also one of the most popular combat sports to learn. MMA can use knees, punches, throws, elbow, and grapple. MMA is pretty much the whole total package for combat sports.

In my opinion, I think that a MMA fighter can go into boxing and do well with other boxers. I believe they can compete with other boxers and can possibly win a boxer in his own game. A MMA fighter does have to learn boxing if he/she wants to be a good MMA fighter because you have to learn all the aspect of fighting. They have to learn to fight on their feet and off their feets which mean on the ground.

Now, if a boxer was to go into MMA. He/she will lose and will lose badly. I think so is because a boxer will not know what to do if he/she is being taken down to the grown. If the MMA fighter was to wrestle the boxer down, he/she will be lost and will not know what to do. Also, it has been already proven that boxers will not do well in MMA. A boxer tried going to MMA and compete with MMA fighters and he got destroy in a MMA fight. So, in my eyes, a boxer can't really go into MMA and compete with them and a MMA fighter can go into boxing and compete with boxers.
