The debate between mma and boxing proponents as to which sport is superior has been an interesting one. Proponents of each sport have harshly criticized the opposing side and will utilize any chance to bash the other sport. Those in favour of boxing usually criticize mma for being to violent and bloody and argue that because mma fighters are not good with their hands they have to take their opponent down.
I guess boxers have not seen mma legends like Chuck Lidell and Randy Couture fight.
On the other hand supporters of mma, make a very good point,and argue that boxing is one dimensional and lacks diversity. The sport of mma is an integration of numerous disciplines such as boxing, jiu jitsu and wrestling and fighters display their diverse skills in the octagon each fight. Therefore fights tend to be more exciting because the viewer never knows whats going to happen next. Whereas Boxing tends to be more predictable due to the fact the viewer knows both fighters can only punch one another and maybe occasionally head but each another out of frustration!
Both sports are great but come on how can you not love watching triangle chokes kimuras and armbars.
Also how often does mma come to a stand still usually never, can boxing say the same?
