@discipleofkhorne9472 5 ай бұрын

@@RaphialLeeYou can compare retired boxers to MMA fighters and they don't stack up well, retired boxers often have some of the worst brain trauma of any fighters. Even Freddie Roach suffers from Parkinsons due to the brain trauma he suffered. Boxers constantly die in the ring. MMA has had 7 deaths in sanctioned bouts in its entire history, boxing has 13 deaths per year. Also the careers are "shorter" because they fight less often as they don't need to pad their record as much and losses in MMA mean a lot less than they do in boxing. Also grappling is not great on your joints and hips, and generally athleticism/explosiveness is somewhat more important in MMA than in boxing.

@samstyler8604 3 ай бұрын

This is correct, it's a mixture of reasons, an often overlooked one is that boxing has very limited striking surfaces, no leg kicks, no knees to the body from a clinch, no throws or trips or submissions... Most shots are thrown to the head, it's the prime target and takes the brunt of all the trauma. Also boxing gloves are so padded out you are able to punch incredibly hard without as much risk of breaking your hand, all the padding also makes cuts less lieky so the bout is less lieky to be stopped for bad cuts that would happen with bare knuckles or much thinner gloves. Bare knuckle boxing is statistically safer than boxing due to the fact fights are stopped more often for bleeding stopping the guy just getting his brain constantly rattled also fighters have to pick their shots and how hard they throw them to which targets.... You're a lot more careful looking for that knockout blow when hitting a couple of inches too high will result in you shattering your bare/only wrapped hand on your opponents skull.

Well it's definitely arguable. The only real danger in boxing is the brain damage, and statistics have shown about 20% of boxers end up with CTE. It's kinda hard to just outright say that's more dangerous than a sport that has potential for the exact same levels of brain damage, plus about 10x more physical injuries. In all reality they have the same levels of danger, it all just depends on the context of the fights, cause I've seen plenty of mma dudes take 5+ knockdowns without the 10 count and are taking strikes during recovery on the ground, same shit as boxing.

Also the difference between gym etiquette is not what you would expect, in boxing they spar HARD every day. Basically having fights every single day. In MMA gyms there’s more of a more aware culture where light sparring is more common and you only go hard on certain days.

Not only that, boxing gloves are heavier and regardless if you think they are “softer” you’re being hit with an additional 4-8oz over the course of 12 rounds, that all matters. Length of fights, damage over time, and continuing to fight while concussed.

Its also easier to parry, evade or block them. Btw incase you guys missed physics in school, the power will spread across much bigger area in boxing gloves compared to much smaller mma gloves. How about elbow to the head ? Or a knee?

As a boxer myself who’s been fighting at an amateur level for 4 years I have to say I disagree. I’ve had torn both of my biceps tendons, had broken my ribs twice, and have had numerous concussions (never been knocked out before) during my fights. That’s just from boxing. Imagine competing in MMA with kicking, knees, elbows and on the ground? I have so much respect for MMA fighters for that reason.

@ItsAme7143 5 ай бұрын

I've boxed longer (barely) and I completely agree with this post bc I've done the research before and there's been less than 30 deaths in total in mma.... Idk if you've ever looked up how many people have died in the boxing ring but even when you take into consideration boxing being around longer and do the average per year, boxing doubles it so you can't let your assumptions blind you with bias. Mma might be scarier to you but that doesn't make it more dangerous 🤷boxing averages about 10 deaths a year lmao it's not something to brag about but in my opinion saying mma is more dangerous just bc it sounds more dangerous is kinda goofy

@chaytonhotah1544 5 ай бұрын

Well, well, well, looks like both boxing and MMA are in quite the knockout competition when it comes to fatalities and injuries. While boxing may have a longer history with a higher overall number of deaths, MMA seems to be giving it a run for its money with a lower total death count. But hold on tight, because when we shift our focus to sustained injuries, MMA takes the spotlight with higher numbers compared to boxing. That’s all I’m saying.

@ItsAme7143 5 ай бұрын

@@chaytonhotah1544 in terms of injuries? Yea you're right, in terms of fatalities I already explained that the average deaths PER YEAR (that means it takes into account that boxing has been around longer) almost doubles that of mma, so in terms of fatalities no you're absolutely incorrect mma isn't catching up to boxing, gotta do the research if you're gonna say shit like this🤷
