By no means am I discounting boxing. Boxing is the core to Krav Maga, which I'm currently learning. What I think AKIRA and CORUM are alluding to is that boxers do one thing: they punch. Odds are, if a boxer goes down, it's game over.
In regards to the kid, maybe it's in his best interest to do MMA. It appears that since the end of Tyson's career, boxing as a money making sport has greatly declined, while MMA has risen. Granted, I've followed neither too closely, but that's how it's appeared to me.
BTW, thanks again for posting those YouTube videos on boxing. They've helped my game a lot.
