People saying shit doesn't make it true. There is no such thing as an "a level athlete", it doesn't exist.They exist. You hear that shit even in the programming / gaming scene.
Most MMA guys dont even know understand how distance work and how to control (mega rare). They cant throw a good jab ... they lack basics.
You have no idea what you are watching.
MMA fighters fight the way they do because striking in the context of an MMA fight is different than boxing in the context of a pure boxing match. There is nothing wrong with the movements and stances of MMA striking, that's what striking looks like when you have to think about your opponent using all 8 weapons AND the possibility of trying to take you down.
MMA fighters are better strikers than boxers because they refine their striking under the context of a real fight, NOT a boxing match. Of course they wouldn't beat a boxer in a pure boxing match, but who the fuck cares? Boxing is objectively inferior to MMA in terms of fighting and martial arts.
You are the one who doesn't know what he's watching.
