Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2831707, member: 7894"] I'm not a big fan of UFC, but I've seen some here and there. Chuck Liddell in his heyday landed a few knockout punches while he was backing up. That's hard to do, can't generate as much power as when you are stepping forward and have your body weight behind the punch. I would not tell Mr. Liddell he didn't know how to throw a punch. He was really unorthodox too, he would throw bombs from unexpected angles. Others have done a good job of pointing out significant differences between boxing and MMA style fighting. Another I haven't seen yet is that boxers wear thick gloves, MMA fighters have much thinner gloves. I think that makes some difference. Edited--huh, I'm getting edited on a word that I don't see a problem with, and it's allowing the plural form of the same word. Whatever. [/QUOTE]
