Kit Cope doesn't look to bad but the rest looked awful.
Absolutely zero fluidity to there movements,robotic,uncordinated,weak punching power and sloppy footwork and stance for boxing.
Though to be fair,you need a much wider flatter stance so you are lower to the ground in MMA to protect from the shoot or to shoot yourself and the shoulder roll and tucking your elbows that close into your body isn't really practicle,it could be suicide in MMA,the last thing you need is to be taken down with your arm trapped so close to your body.
But still the MMA world can still learn so much from great boxing trainers like Roger,Snr and Roach.
Apart from a handfull of MMA fighters they are all C ranked punchers at best but they are all improving fast.
At the moment it seems all wrestlers,BJJ,well all ground fighters are really working on their boxing skills,and know they need to,to be successful but alot of these boxers seem to have the arrogance to think they don't need to work on anything else and could walk into MMA and be a success.
I've never understood the Ill feeling towards MMA from boxing fans,When I've found that nearly all MMA fans love boxing.
MMA fighters lose in a boxing match against a boxer.
Boxers lose in a MMA match against a MMA fighter.
we all know this so why is it so hard for some of these Boxing fans to realise it
I can't wait untill a high level boxer gets schooled in a MMA fight,not because I want MMA to one up boxing but because I hope it would do alot to gain more respect from boxing fans and put an end to these pointless arguments between the two sports.
