With the increase of "extreme" sports, and the multiple "mixed fighting tatics" federations that there are, boxing will lose out because boxers ONLY use their hands.
Everyone else gets to punch, kick head-butt, bite scratch, suplex, break body parts, and just about kill their opponents.
In other words boxing has gotten run over by a steamroller.
I would rather watch a boxing match, which requires skill AND stamina than any "combined" fighting where there are fewer rules than a street brawl, and even fewer skills than kangaroo boxing.
Boxers would spend their entire career for a shot at the champ, whereas the mixed-sports fighters are more pro-wrestler than athlete.
Sure, they may know martial arts, and be a big name in their field, but these mixed-sports contest look like a ramped up WWE.
Bring back good old boxing!
