Boxing as a sport is beautiful. Boxing as a business is corrupt as fuck! For example…March 2015, in this clip I get illegally hit and my opponent doesn’t get a point deducted. I rock him and put him on the canvas and it’s considered a slip. I throw a Superman Punch rocking him again and get warned cuz my foot was off the ground and it’s “illegal”. They must not know about David Tua’s leaping left hook ??. Anywhore, I’ve done my time in boxing as a “rookie” to the game and it felt easy for me. I decided to pursue MMA because in my heart as a kickboxer I knew some nerd in pjs made of sandpaper could beat me without throwing a single strike. Having to learn a whole new set of skills from scratch was very humbling, but it paid off in the long run ??. It was fun but I’ll never box again, I prefer to use all my weapons in a real fight??
