MMA dubbed the Couture-Toney fight as MMA vs Boxing match. Boxing fans will surely find this prejudiced. It was the same thing I felt that I thought Dana or whoever labeled it fouled offensive to the one who governs Boxing.
A totally unfair and biased BS thing that an aged fighter who will make his debut in the MMA world, fight a freestyle MMA fight type, set him up pit toe to toe against a veteran grappler/fence clincher, and still labeled him as a Boxer against an MMA fighter.
This will be more likely a one sided fight in favor of Couture. And that would be the only thoughts of Dana White and the whole gang for now, expecting to see how people eventually realize that a Boxer won’t get any chance beating up an MMA fighter inside Octagon or anywhere else in a street fight. But the thing is, how if the 10oz less gloves strike onto the face of an MMA fighter?
Yes, Toney was never been an offensive fighter, in resemblance with Floyd Mayweather or Pernell Whitaker. But ALL Boxers has been trained hard to defend and definitely PUNCH no more any less. Vitality has never been a huge factor inside the Gym in amateur Boxing, on the reason that they have been donned by a protective headgear with sometimes body armor, and in order to crack the armor up is to improve the punching power and speed up to the limit.
Take a look of an MMA Veteran Tim Silva, who just caught by a straight punch by a Boxer named Ray Mercer. It was the only punch threw in the fight that made the MMA veteran turned out like Ricky Hatton stunned cold in the canvas before the game was declared over.
This never ending Boxing-MMA competition question will never be answered on 28 or 29 here in UAE. But absolutely, it will be an acid test of a Boxer’s iron fist without the 10oz gloves.
Who are you picking? I turn my LIGHTS OUT!
