Interesting point Knuckles: I'm a little more acquainted with boxing than MMA, but they have their own categories in my head. I always knew, but I guess I never noticed, that in MMA you can tap- and in boxing you can't. Just one of those things I took for granted~ like the difference in their gloves: never thought about it, "Of course it's that way."
I know I digress here, but my brain is just wrapping around the fact that MMA'ers can admit defeat; but boxers have to be defeated. Interesting.
Of course the tap is there because otherwise the fighters could be irreparably damaged, and in boxing any holds or clinches are broken up- but it's interesting.
