And plus he advocates MMA being more safe because you get knocked out only ones. Well lol. Thats kind of a crazy argument to throw in. How about checkings the stats of knocking people Unconscious in MMA and in boxing. MMA will always trump with those numbers.

      Wouldn't it be about the same? You can still get knocked down in mma and keep fighting. The only thing I can think of for boxing is that the fights are longer, but I'd imagine you can do way more damage with kicks, knees, and elbows anyway.

      ​@@Buckaroo_Banzai47yep your pretty much right, the longer fights is a big part of it. Boxers do tend to throw a lot more strikes than in mma tho. Also yes obviously kicks and elbows do way more damage bit that's the thing if you get kicked in the head you're out, meanwhile look at a tko in boxing, sometimes they might eat 10 or so clean shots quickly in a row and be out on their feet before it's stopped.

      @Buckaroo_Banzai47 The thing with light oz gloves and elbows, knees, ect is a higher chance of ko or stoppage. In boxing you can take (hundreds). There are pro boxing fights where more than 1000 punches where thrown by one side. Light jabs for years rattle that brain. MMA has a much faster stoppage. Which I believe personally is good for the sport. Can't let unnecessary harm come to these guys, ya know. Anyway, nice chatting, I'm done shitting. Have a good one👍🏻

TYPICALLY boxing leads to more brain damage but they both have the potential to be just as dangerous as the other. Yall are also forgetting the brain damage that choking people out leads to lol. Can you cite these statistics cause every single detailed study is either boxing only or both combined. The only study that separated them just showed that 7% of boxers have been knocked out vs 4.2% of mma fighters. And also showed that mma has a 60% injury rate while boxing has 49%.

      ​@@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
    @samstyler8604 4 місяці тому +1

    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.

    100% on point,in MMA once you're down once you're done,in boxing you keep getting up until you dont😂

    People arguing with a man who's a former UFC world champion while they've never punched anyone in their life except the air. It's crazy!

      You don't need to compete, just be competent enough to not get in fights.
      If you are planning to just live an average life, that's all you need.
      Thats the other secret, don't live near other people.

      @@WhoThisMonkey Yeah but this video is specifically about competing, so the "secret" can't be to not fight.
      My point: your comment is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. Unless you think that people shouldn't compete in combat sports.

    I’d say MMA is more painful but boxing is more dangerous in the long run

    All i can say is in mma, no one has died inside the octagon. Maybe outside due to complications, but not inside. People die in the boxing ring almost yearly.
