Which do you prefer? - Boxing or MMA?

[Grant]

Which of these sports do you prefer the most? Boxing or MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)? I tend to be interested more in the sport of MMA as I feel there's more fighting styles you can pit against each other. But boxing has its perks too. I just prefer MMA for the speed of the fights, boxing can be a chore to watch sometimes. What do you prefer?

Personally, I like MMA more too, I think it's more dynamic and with more martial locks and possible techniques, although without detracting from boxing, which is also a complex and fun sport to watch, and also depending on which boxers are facing off it can be an especially fun fight to watch.

I won't lie about not liking MMA because I do so much. I follow UFC 24/7/365 without missing anything. It's a fighting sports which is very brutal and it's the reason why I'm going to choose boxing over it. In boxing, there's at least a bit of protection with wearing of boxing gloves but there's nothing like that in MMA.

Personally I prefer MMA since it is a derivative of martial arts and I'm a huge fan of it.

Boxing is so good. When two men stand toe to toe and beat the holy hell out of themselves for 12 rounds. It's not a sports for the weak of heart.

The last fight I watched was where Anthony Joshua knocked Helenius out in the 7th round with a verystrong blow to the chin.

I love MMA 5% more than Boxing. So no big deal.

Boxing has always been the exciting part for me when it comes to picking one. I would always want to feel the thrills and the fun side of having to watch boxing play out. I began watching the game of boxing when the Klistchko brothers were still playing part years ago.

Francis Ngannou shocked the world with the beating he gave to the current WBO champion Tyson Fury. Everyone underestimated Francis Ngannou coming into the fight because he's crossing from MMA to boxing. He best Tyson Fury but one of the judges was used to rob him.

For me, boxing is much better because it is much less traumatic, as it looks more epic to me, and the audience at such matches is more intelligent than at mma. There are mostly very aggressive people who are ready to start fighting over one word, and I don't like it.

The grappling and such stuffs where you see two grown-ups toiling on the mat and aiming for cheap shots makes MMA a difficult watch for me.

Stand up! Fight! Knock the lights out of each other with serious punches. Now, that's a sport that gets me emotionally charged.

Boxing over MMA any day, any time.
