As much as I would like to see this happen, I just can't see the boxing world buying into it. Kinda like expecting the banks to buy into crypto......it would further weaken their slipping grasp on their respective market.

Grappling is so damn important to MMA and boxers may not be as unprepared as Art Jimmerson way back when, but will still not be able to fight MMA for the most part.

This will leave it to striker purists to abandon their kicks and ground game and play a one-dimensional slugfest boxing match.

It would be nice to see a hybrid approach but that has already been done and it is called Muay tai!

Will be fun but MMA is the way to go!
