Boxing Vs. MMA

In the world of physical sports there is a debate on what’s better Boxing or MMA. In my opinion I find MMA to be the more enjoy sport to watch. Some people try to make it seem as though MMA is undisciplined while boxing requires a high level of skill. I believe that is completely untrue, you can’t just step in a MMA ring thinking I’ll just throw some wild punches and win. It takes discipline to know when to strike or go for the take down. You have to have a certain level of skill to be able to make a split second decision on what type of submission hold to go for in the middle of a fight. Some people think boxing is more exiting because they keep the action standing while MMA fighters hug each other on the ground. Again this is something I disagree with, when MMA fighters go to the ground they try to put people in submission hold or go to their ground and pound, they’re not just hugging each other because they’re tired. Speaking of hugging people when they’re tired, boxer routinely grab each other in a fight at least in MMA they are doing something productive. Also I believe MMA offers a more diverse challenge for fighters. A MMA fighter has to train to be able to fight not only people in their specific style of fighting but also those in other disciplines as well. This makes for a more entertaining fights to watch than anything boxing is putting out these days.
