A guy who never boxed in his life on a pro lever fought the best in the world, and took him 10 rounds, and won rounds. And stop with all the excuses. He's 40, retired, carried. Matt Serra Serra is 43, and hasn't fought in 7 years. Let's see Lomachanko come in and go 10 rounds and win 3 of them. He won't last a minute.
What happened when Michael Page , an MMA fighter decided to go to boxing.
And what happened when pro boxer, Heather Hardy, undefeated champion came to MMA?
She lost her nose.
Her opponent, a ta kwondo champion, never took her down once. She stood and banged. Kept her distance from the punches and just kicked the shit out of her. That's all you have to do to a pro boxer. They can't do shit without boxing rules against any martial artist, or wrestler.
And whoever tries to bring up Holly Holm she was a kickboxer before she was a boxer. 6 amateur fights, undefeated, and 3 pro fights, 2-1. And her trainer was the same guy, her whole career. An MMA guy, and pro kick boxer. Never a boxer.
Sorry, but this is silly.
Floyd has never been a knockout artist. He is a defensive fighter. If you think Conor "won" anything there, then you don't know anything about boxing. I'm a Conor fan, and all things considered, he did a great job. But Floyd was in complete control of that fight the entire time. Conor won rounds that Floyd allowed him to win. Floyd literally threw no punches in a couple rounds.
Boxing and MMA are different. It is just stupid to compare the two sports.
Boxing isn't easier than MMA, and vice versa.
"Who would win in a fight/Who could come over to the other's discipline and do damage" are completely different questions.
