Exactly. Boxing and MMA are on almost the same level.
Boxing, they use their fists, and as such, are limited in full-body mobility.
For me, however, MMA is infinitely more exciting, because you get a chance to see fighters not only use their fists, but also their elbows, legs, knees and feet. It's quite entertaining to see an elite fighter pull of spinning kicks and other extremely difficult techniques that you couldn't do in boxing.
Plus, if anyobdy follows MMA fighting, they would know how exciting it can be when two fighters of different styles go up against each other - for example, a Brazilian jujitsu fighter vs. a Japanese submission style... or whatever it is. There's just more going on, and thus is more entertaining, in MMA than in boxing IMO.
Hell, you could throw boxing gloves on MMA fighters, and it'd still be more entertaining.
