MMA 'angles' Vs BOXING 'angles'

Boxers are obviously better at boxing specifically and punching in general because that's where all of their training time goes. Their defenses appear to be better because they don't have to worry about being kicked, kneed, elbowed, clinched (really clinched, not a 3 second boxing clinch) or taken down.

Boxers also appear to have superior footwork because they can use footwork purely to set up punching offense and defense.

They also wear shoes which makes a tremendous difference in how much traction they're getting off the canvas.

Also, the guy in that boxing clip was amazing. Thanks for linking it.

I don't think Irish are very Anglo. Anglos are a mix of French, German and English mostly. Where Irish have more of a Viking influence ethnically and culturally. Your joke was almost funny doe.



I heard someone say "Lomachenko's lead foot has a PHD from MIT in Physics" dude is amazing.

Also, the Irish are the most anglo of any country, except Florida. Which is in Spain.
 
There are only so many angles that you can use.

During the much anticipated mma vs boxing match up, many boxing and mma trainers are trying to explain the differences between both sports by how the angles of the shots are thrown during the fights. What are the difference between boxers and mma stand up and how does 'angles' affect punch efficiency?

What your opponent can respond with determines distance and angles. Ex. In traditional muay thai we throw a "long" uppercut with your upper body staying mainly upright instead of the condensed torso and upward explosion you see Tyson using. This is because if the opponent is close enough for you to throw that Tyson uppercut, you'd use an elbow or knee instead and / or you'd get countered with one. More tools means more options, means more distance and angle possibilities.

Also keep in mind a boxing punch only allows narrower angles side to side as the shoulders are only so wide. Compare that with the ability to step 45 degrees on the front foot and deliver a sweeping rear leg roundhouse...your leg is much longer and therefore can be delivered from out in "right field" vs a boxer's punch.

Did you cringe when you wrote that. I toasted you and you respond...like a fucking 5 year old..and say I have a vagina by the "sounds" of it? By me saying I'm not your mom? Look, I'm sorry you have the reading comprehension of peat moss..don't bother responding

U "toasted" someone else completely, dumb fuck. You said u weren't that guys mom. I just noted that, though u are not likely to be his mom, u both share the common characteristic of having a wide vaginal canal.

Mm, Cruz, dillashaw, and garbrandt all come close...so...

This has got to be a joke. Watch the video of TJ sparing with him and you will see just how massive the gap is

Yeah well I guess close is relative, what I mean is those guys display similarities to thst type of footwork and angles at time.

Not exactly. Cruz and TJ sometimes use the hands down stance but do not dodge in the same manner. The similarities are mainly surface value. The are worlds apart on a technical stand point.

The main point that differs is that when Lomachenko dodges he'll slightly roll his shoulders, head slip, and switch stances in place to make punches just miss. This is not something that TJ and Cruz show proficiency in. They prefer to slip outside or under punches to better transition into wrestling. They share a similar stance but not similar applications.

Cody's style is adapted heavily from boxing (which is not surprising since he was a 31-1 amateur boxer) but is nothing irregular. It's a fairly standard rolling with punches and circling footwork. Not comparable to Lomachenko due to the like of abnormality and a bad example for MMA since it's primarily a boxing method.

Very good pull in choosing them though. Silva, Cruz, TJ, and Cody are probably the best available examples.

I'm aware that I didn't address how they cut off the ring but can if you would ask me to. It's just...complicated and a bitch to break down

That's all true. But to be fair loma is in another level to other high level boxers too.
