  1. I do Muay Thai, Boxe and BJJ. When kid and teenager i did Hung Gar and Taekwondo. I can say Thai is very limitating, a bunch of rules. You cant switch bases, you cant move around, you have only 1 kick, you cant do others. Yes you do have elbows and knees, but in a very limitating way. The only thing you can do in thai is hit hard and get hitted. So yes, boxing is way better for mma.

  2. That is a crazy take. One includes all weapons of striking and some grappling (clinchwork, foot sweeps). The other is a limited form of striking that only uses 1 of 8 weapons. 🤔

  3. Alright so I'm seeing a lot of claims that a Muay Thai fighter has no way of defending against a boxer's punching and footwork, now let's put that up against the opposite claim that a boxer has no way of defending against a Muay Thai fighter's eight limbs

    State your cases here, specify your points and evidence, now fight in the comments!

  4. You're using boxing metrics to measure boxing yeah okay, how about use MMA metrics to compare the two instead, that's like using kicks knees and elbows as metrics of course it's biased

    The best is to train both boxing and Muay Thai for MMA, but one clearly gives you more advantages and that's Muay Thai without a doubt, you can Muay Thai you just learn ground fighting and you're set to compete, you can box well you're gonna have to do a whole lot more to survive the octagon

  5. I’ll take the 8 limbs over 2, any day. All though they are both top tier. Muay Thai has the advantage also because of the range it covers. Boxers have to get in close unless they have a crazy reach. Muay Thai you can kick to make up the distance.
