They dont need to dodge many.. just enough to get in a shot. If elite strikers cant avoid getting taken down and destroyed by wrestlers in MMA until they have grappling training.. how do you expect a straight boxer striker will?

The wrestler isnt going to go toe to toe with the boxer, but if you dont think theres a large number of tactics from standing entirely unrelated to punching or kicking you are going to get your tail kicked sooner or later. You severely underestimate a wrestlers standing ability. IT doesnt involve punches or kicks, but its still extremely effective.... Easily if you had a wrestler at the same level as the boxer in his sport he would be a match on his feet.

No no mate. I never in my life undersetimate anyone. I've done that and learned from that.

You are just suverly understimating what a good kickboxer is capable of.
