In boxing you can stand there and take shot after shot after shot, because of the big ass gloves, try that in MMA. MMA'ers stand further away from thier opponent until it's time to attack, because of the high risk for KO, takedown, clinch. In boxing it is the opposite, go forehead to forehead, look down, throw punches for however many rds. All they have to worry about are punches so they can be more focused on that, needless to say you can't do that in MMA. I hear these posts from time to time on here and it just never sinks in with some people, if you want to watch "technique" watch boxing.
What is the goal when Chuck or Wandy fight? to knock their opponent out, while not getting knocked out, do they do that, hell yeah, you can't argue with results. I don't care about the process, just the end result. So who cares whether or not they follow pugilistic rules and styles, not me.
