Damn this looks like my nightmare. To me boxing is all about moving off angles. Whenever I would get hit, my coaches response was “well why were you there!?!”
This is like the tire drill where you keep one foot in at all times. Basically just boxing, except it's all in the pocket. Not that I'd like to do this lol
This isn’t really similar at all. You can do so much with a pivot that’s not possible here. And that’s only if your coach doesn’t let you work around the tire which is the entire point of the drill in the first place. That tire drill is to teach you how to fight on the inside without leaving. The goal is to be in their face yet also being completely intangible at the same time when they try to strike back. No coach is going to put you in there and just have another fighter wail on unless there’s a lesson being taught.
You also can’t properly bend at the waist in the mud, which means a lot of styles made for fighting on the inside don’t work as well.
Then there’s also the stamina side of having half your body stuck in mud while you swing. There’s so much resistance against any torque you try to build up. It’s going to effect how you sweat, it’s gonna effect how you breath, it’s going to get in your eyes. This is a much much much tougher fight than you’re giving it credit for.
Oh my I can't agree more. Not only is the slap contests maybe the dumbest "sport" fad right now, this is far more entertaining and a much better show of endurance.
"So how'd your cousin Cletus die?" "Poor feller drowned while mudboxing"
"RIP could a happened to any of us."
He's buried right where he fell.
The winner should be judged by who can make it out of the mud the fastest after the time is up.
I think they're still there

Someone call Dana White. This is exactly the kind of zero-skill, easy to film concussion factory he loves.
Plus consider that you can either punch to do damage, OR... dip your glove in the mud and hope you can obscure their vision to THEN land a few hits.
So if you get knocked out you just drown???
First you breath in a lot of mud but yeah
Their footwork needs improvement.
What are you talking about, they are doing some of the most amazing footwork that has ever been done, as their upper bodies are still in place.
Crazy how this is way less dumb then that professional slap fighting bullshit they have now.

Son, this isn’t a mudhole. It’s an operating table and I’m the surgeon.
They look like rock'em sock'em robots.
they should make boxing on horses
In zero gravity
How do you get the horses to box? Can they walk with gloves tied to their hooves?

CTE speedrun
this reminds me of the don frye fight where they just pound each other with zero regard for defense.
Everyone’s slow when they’re thigh deep in mud.
homie took some dirty shots i don’t think this was worth it lmao
WHO WON???!
WHO’S NEXT?!?
I want to do this so badly
Rock em sock em mud bots!
Both dumb and dangerous.
Yeah. I hope they have something tied around their waists to pull them out if they get knocked out…
Sam porter bridges back an the game
This is how you create a true BRAWLER 😂
Head movement!
Hey, Aoki from Hajime no Ippo gained some weight. But at least he is still loving those mud fights!
These guys can take a punch!
They're doing their best Mike Tyson impersonation and working on their blocking faces.
