Default Boxing & Muay Thai - what do you prefer?
What do you guys prefer for stand up Boxing or Muay Thai?

Some of the punches i've seen muay thai fighters throw don't look anything like how boxers throw punches, boxers look alot more crisp and powerful imo, do you agree or disagree?

i would say boxing practitioners, because they only use their fists can and do have more time to get better at punching.. plus theres obviously a distance issue when you get in a bit closer to punch, if you're a thai boxer you can throw a shin kick easier as they're within range.. both are great to learn and probably great to learn seperately so you can bring the boxing skills into muay thai... hence MMA
