    I dont get it ..... objective is to inflict repetitive blows to opponents head/torso above belt for 48mins .... wearing padding on hands, which reduces bodys natural defence mechanisms, which are 1) reduces hand injury (so can hit more times/longer before hand pack in) 2) reduces likely hood of knock-out vs bare knuckle (larger surface area)
    Also as only allowed to hit front of torso above belt or front of head - makes for very one dimensional viewing.
    Give me MMA any day of the week.

    Each to their own I find mma a little boring with all the grappling. And the objective is to hit your opponent and not get hit your self really. Mayweather did just that very well although his style wasnt everyone's cup o tea.
