ok i do mma, i have for a few years. i onjured my knee a while back and i stoppen mma cause of the kicks and joint stress and did boxing for a while. i had great speed and footwork but my knee heeled and i been back in mma for about 6 months. anyways im going to box in a match in about 2 months and i just found out yesterday lol. so anybody got any tips, anything you would suggest to do or not to do.....but just to let you guys know im not much of a power hitter, im more of a speed boxer.
It seems like you have plenty of experience in combat sports. Just make sure your in great shape for the fight. Run at least 15-20 miles a week (or 2-3 miles six days a week). Jump rope, hitting the heavy bag and doing plenty of sit-ups are the best way to get in shape. There is no bigger advantage in boxing than being in great shape. If you are well conditioned you will be able to use your speed effectively. If not then your speed means absolutely nothing. Good luck.

I prefer Boxing, because its more of strategic fight. Where the smartest fighters win sometimes strength over powers speed and vice-versa. Plus you have to train years to be successful!
But in MMA its excellent for gambling because an upset win can happen in any fight. Very brutal and aggressive and someone who you didn't hear about yesterday might kicked the crap out of someone you thought was the best.
But one thing both sports have in common is you don't normally see the fights you want to, don't say every contender fights the champ because Silva and Machida don't want to fight each other and there are several more fighters Silva won't fight!
Don't Bash other sports just be respectful and make good points!
There's no right or wrong answer to your question, it's just what is right for you. I have been involved in the Martial Arts for a long time, from Karate, Boxing, Taijiquan to Aikido. All Martial Arts has it's place, it's as simple as what style suits you & what Dojo, training hall, Sensei, Sefu, trainer or coach for get to like & trust. So yeah it's nothing more than a personal thing, but a journey worth taking.
Love, Light & Friendships always, Ian.
