But a real fight is and has always been in the form of using fists!? Dating back probably hundreds of years. So why now all of a sudden a real fight is only if you get taken to the ground and choked out!? Seems like a way to bitch out of a REAL fight

[@FM19964]

A real fight is about using all the tools necessary to win. I hope you’re intelligent enough to understand that only striking is limiting yourself. Real fight is about doing whatever you can to get superiority.

[@ncmMackin]

Striking what is that? You mean punching right!? But If we were to fight like men to squash some beef let’s say, and I turned up to have a fist fight, you know like proper men. And then you then turned around trying to put your feet in my face or choke me, others watching will just call you a sausage and tell you to stop fucking around and fight properly!?

hes right tho, if fury fought him under mma rules, the odds would be totally the other way around. fury would stand no chance at all. Its the whole reason fury is taking this fight. massive reward with very little risk, I hope Ngannou somehow pulls it off and teaches fury a lesson for taking what fury thinks is an easy fight.

You are wrong! Many fighter in MMA are only striker and they are champ and that is what Nganou did in MMA because he is a very weak wrestler or jiu jit su fighter.

[@davebear9825]

Well yeah... bottom line.. in this Boxing Fight Ngannou has the odds stacked against him, but he has a Punchers Chance... land a few Good Shots and he could cause a Upset but its landing them. Vice Versa in a MMA, Fury has a Punchers Chance again if he can land some clean shots. I'm not sure Fury would straight up do a Full MMA Fight/Rules rematch though...

from the title sounds like usual excuses MMA fighters use before they box.

[@dirtycaveman1454]

I wouldn't say it's an excuse. He's right because in a street fight anything goes and half of what a boxer does under boxing rules doesn't work. Mma however is much better adapted to that situation. Mma fighters have much more avenues of success. Ho look at randy couture vs James Toney. A boxer that receives mma training for a while though can be really devastating though

[@chrishayes5755]

MMA is extremely close to a real fight. Boxing is a brutal combat sport, but pretty far from a real fight. Real fight = hand to hand combat in a war-like situation, or a street fight without almost any rule set.

WTF are you smoking? Let's put street fights aside as they tend to be not on purpose and who ever throws first on the unsuspecting foe tends to win.

@@jediknight2350 people who walk in off the street are mentally ill people and trolls. knocking out "hundreds of idiots" means nothing if you're a trained boxer and they're untrained or are just random thugs. if you're fighting anyone with heavy grappling training and they saw your hand skills they'd do nothing but grapple and melt you. that exact same way you destroy untrained bums on the street is what you'd look like trying to grapple or deal with low kicks, knees and elbows from the clinch etc. your punch from the clinch isn't doing more than an elbow or knee. as a boxer you're not stopping an elite wrestler from picking you up and slamming you on concrete unless you catch him real quick on a dirty entry.
