boxing +1
MMA -1
I respect the MMA guys though. It is a tough sport. Maybe it is a generation thing. I think boxing is more artistic.
The thing that gets me is that everyone at the gym now is training to fight MMA. I see them hit the heavy bags and speed bags and laugh. They really need some training. We also have local amateur fights that have just started. I've seen guys get fucked up bad because they do not know what they are doing.
In boxing it takes 6 months just to learn how to punch properly. MMA is much more complex. Factor in the grappling / wrestling it takes much more time to become proficient. Guys take dbol, hit the heavy bag, and think they can fight. WTF. I respect the guys that know what they are doing and train properly.
