You're going to have to help me out here brother.
When did Boxing start to get owned like this, have I missed that?
A boxer in the Thai ring, sure he's going to be up against it, however the reverse is completely true of a Thai in a boxing ring. A boxer on the mat with a grappler, yeah he will get owned, but so will a grappler in the boxer's ring. So not sure I follow so far.
OK so MMA. Well, boxing is just a component of MMA, in the same way kicks, clinch, knees, elbows and grappling are just a component. I haven't seen boxing get owned by another component of MMA, I have seen MMA fighters get owned by better MMA fighters.
So, to the pavement arena. Every serious altercation I have been in has started and finished in conversation range, where hands are king, and all my primary tools have come from Boxing. All of the best people I have worked alongside in this arena also employ Boxing as their primary arsenal, to awesome effect.
So all in all brother I hope you don't mind if I'm still a little confused, and just wondered when Boxing started to get so owned?
