OFFICIAL DISCUSSION: Floyd Mayweather Vs. Conor McGregor |August 26 2017

I give credit to Chael and Bisping - amongst a sea of MMA retardation leading up to this fight they were the only ones to be honest and correctly state that boxers hit MUCH harder than MMA fighters.

 

to be honest, I think it would pretty much comes to who makes the first move. If the boxer decide to throw punches, he probably wins, while if the MMA guy goes for a TD or clinch first, he probably wins. Thing is. Considering the dangerous nature of the environment of a street fight, I'd much prefer be the guy that has the advantage when the fight is standing

I can only speak for America, but "like I said before", boxing's more popular in the States now than it was 10-15 years ago.

I remember in the very early 00s, when I was legitimately worried if boxing would be around in 2015.

Fast forward to now, and the sporting event all my friends and colleagues are currently discussing the most, is Canelo-Golov.

Some "dead" sport this is...

 

Street fight doesn't have soft canvas etc. There's chairs and tables in the way, hard ground. Easiest thing to do usually is throw some motherfucking punches. in a street fight men are "freaking out"...they're aren't casually getting into clinches etc....it's all arms and elbows and knees.

 

boxing won't be dead in the US because of the vast amount of mexican-american

 

Excatly. and going in a clinch and suplexing someone is really easy to do also, and it hurts as fuck. Broke a guy hand doing so in my youth, and ended the fight this way.


Look, I like boxing more than MMA, but let's not pretend that the only way to win a streetfight is by striking.

 

It's huge here right now, definitely a peak of popularity since I started following. This fight helped too

 

who said it was?

 

My final verdict is - in a street fight it would really depend on the situation, and the individuals involved. Impossible to say that one sport has the definitive advantage over the other.

Sometimes the MMA would win, other times, the boxer would fuck them up. That's the REALISTIC answer.

MMA guys would have you believe that their fighters would win 100% of the time in street fights, which is comical to believe.

 

too be honest, kicks are a lot less useful in a street fight than in a ring/octogon, because jeans make it much harder to do a high kick, and the ground is not even, make it much more hard to have good enough balance to throw a good one.

For what it's worth, in all of my years bouncing, I don't recall seeing anyone throw a good kick standing up (some were thrown when a guy was on the ground already).Even when you see MMA guys in streetfigths, they barely never use any kick.

 

Where do you "bounce"?

 

You also have to consider this - which individuals would be comfortable in an actual street fight. Cause BOTH sports, boxing and MMA, operate under rules.

Some boxers, like Hopkins, Tyson, and Duran, were street fighting since leaving the womb.

 

I don't bounce anymore. was doing this when I was studying.

In montreal

 

Excellent point.

 

Man, street fights don't last more than a few seconds. You don't have enough time to destroy the leg of someone in one. I never saw any fight ending this way, even on the internet

 

If they laugh at all these traditional Kung Fu guys, then why is Conor's idol Bruce Lee?

 

A teep would be useful, but kicks are most of the time too risky in a streetfight

 

I agree with the teep, see above

 

you misunderstand me. I said a teep is probably the only kick that I don't consider risky, and would say is useful in a streetfight
