I'd say a similarly talented MMA fighter would beat a boxer 90% of the time.

the boxer's only chance is to get the MMA fighter before the MMA fighter can get low and put them on their ass.

I don't care how strong the boxer is, the number of people who can knock a world-class fighter out from their back is a very very short list.

She'd shoot on Tyson, hook a leg; work her way up him (if even necessary) and submit him.

I think alot would depend on how well she could eat a punch. Royce Gracie could take shots from guys 3 times his size - Beaker Mar 13, 12:58 7
- Based on her post fight interviews I get the impression that part of her swift aggression is to avoid getting damaged. - Max Mar 13, 13:02 6
  - I'd expect that he can't get low enough to stop her from shooting on him and getting a leg. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:06 5
    - that's why I went 50/50. 50% she gets in, 50% he catches her on the way in and takes her head off -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 13:09 4
      - also, she goes what? 135-145 lbs. If he comes in at 225 or so, she might not even be able to get him off his feet -- nm - Beaker Mar 13, 13:10 3
        
        We did see her toss that larger dude last week like he was a pillow, right? - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:14 2
        
        That was a compliant victim over the hip though, I doubt Tyson would allow it. -- nm - Max Mar 13, 13:15 1
        
        I doubt he would per se...but he also isn't able (legally) to punch the back of her head - Will Hunting Mar 13, 13:20
