boxing can go for those KOs, but a muay thai fighter has more tools. a plain boxer, no matter how good he is, can't avoid the leg kicks, and that alone will end the fight.
watch this fight. the boxer isnt some slouch, Arthur Williams was the WBC champ for a while i believe

that being said, isn't the point of MMA to know that every single style doesn't have all the pieces? using everything is the only way to do it.
