well, im no boxing guru. But id say that you should just keep your defense up, and strike when he unleases a barrage of blows. If he just throws random blows, he'll leave himself open, thats when you capitalize

I know that being a boxer you have that better to think quick during an on coming attacker, with say either a quick punch or a quick combo but as a street fighter I would go for the take down take it to the ground hold you and beat you. Am I saying that this is the case with all street fighters no, but in the case of this it's definately a possiblity

I think it all depends on your back ground if you have never been a street fighter or never been a fighter other than a boxer you are going to have less of a chance, you are better on your feet but what happens when yours get taken out or he throws low or kicks you cant really do much.

Its good to be multi talented if you want to call it that, learn how to grapple as well as fighting on your feet then you will be above the other man.

see thats the thing comparing boxing and street fighting is like bananas and oranges. yes, as a boxer you have the skills you learn on your side, but with a street fighter they will go for the choke holds and the takedowns. when I box some one I think every thing out and make it smooth. when I get in a street fight i just choke and punch and do all sorts of crazy shit. so it all depends on the person you fight and your style. think of it this way if a ufc guy fights a bxer using ufc rules then the ufc guy is prob going to win because he wil go for a take down, and if they use boxing rules then the boxer because ufc guys dont sit down on there punches and have no power.

To be honest i would go to the ground, if u have any wrestling background. Once u take him down hard lets your hands go it will be over fast.

In a street figt, chokes and takedowns are a lot better than standing and trying to box the guy. Also when he's on the ground, u might want to use your elbows too. But if youre quick on your hands and feet, then try to counterpunch him when you see his punches coming. Or if you want it to be quicker, just go for the balls.. its a streetfight right? so anyting goes..

OMG... not the balls, less keep some things sacred even if it's a street fight. Only time it's ok under doubt to go for the balls is if youre a 90 lbs chick fighting a 300+ lbs biker.
And besides you might get unlucky and fight geeky manga/ninja/shaolin kung fu dude wich has spent the better half of his youth training the skill golden balls (Im not even joking, since my hand is busted I've seen some movies and yesterday I saw "shaolin kung fu with jet li". Was some dudes pulling weights after them tied to the balls :eek:"

Personally I would just punch out any street fighter, hitting a fast hard combo against normal peoples can be pretty devestating and if the aggressor had alot of pounds on me I would resort to hooking in elbows wich is not a nice thing to do.

I would have to say that your idea aobut just punching out a street fighter is kind of lame, I highly doubt a true street fighter is going to be punched out and hit many times without hitting you back or taking you down. I have never been in a street fight that last less than 20 seconds, and only 2 times have I actually stayed on my feet long enough to actually hurt the other guy. Street fighter and Boxer is two totally different worlds doesnt work like you think it will.

I am just curious as to what exactly a "street fighter" is. Is it one of those people you see and hear at the local watering hole bragging about how tough he is and all the ass he kicked. Those clowns kind of get annoying. I just live by the old philosophy: don't give, don't take shit. If you get beat up, most of the time you will heal up.

Uhm Im talking abt the peoples you would meet out on a normal saturday night clubbin, Im not talking abt UFC figthers. Now see most peoples don't train grappling sports nor boxing for that matter. Actually most peoples that's not used to getting hit kinda gets dazed when they do get hit. I mean like wtf do you mean by a 'real street fighter' the peoples that often gets in fights when they are drunk are the manic depressed ones that actually wants to get beaten up. Ofcourse there are the RARE exceptions that peoples you would fight on the street actually know some shit or that they are hyped up on xtc etc. Or even the rare occashion of wanksters stashing weapons outside the club. In general though there is no way a normal person would be able to do a takedown on me w/o me getting of at least 2 hooks or gotten up a knee to meet his face. I would also dare say that most peoples would have problem planting a hit on me and most peoples hits like chicks anyways and for the record I've been in and seen several street fights end in under 20 sec.

Im not saying doing boxing necisarily makes you superior what Im saying is most peoples that picks a fight are pussies and I seriously don't need more then one well connected short hook to drop a pussy, or a well connect elbow for a bigger pussy.

This is my honest opinion, but I also realise this is a forum on the web and any geek can pretty much claim to be the personification of Clubber Lang so mjeh w/e Im not gonna spend the rest of the thread arguing with peoples I really don't know shit abt.

To win street fight u have to land da first clean punch.. SIMPLE!

wen u c these jokers throwing 50 shots each, and with abuot 20 landing and there stil standing shows they dont know how to punch!

a propa street fight, is 2, 3, 4 punches and whoever lands properly wins, now obviously a huge 100kg guy vs a 60kg guy, u know who has da advantage, but den again this is a streetfight, so anythin can hapen!

Opinion is an opinion and your entitled to it I have no problem with that I was giving mine like you give yours. As humans we have the right to agree and disagree, thats what makes this great earth the place to be. I do agree about the geek part though this site has far to many I say you and I should make our way to the club and take out all boxing scene bad ass wannabe's! What do you say, you can throw your elbows and hooks while I take out the knee's and bash their faces off the pavement when they go down.

Depends on where the setting is and what you can do like what the guy is wearing, the space around you and if there are people going to jump you.

number one, look for a weapon to use. Street sign, stick, chair, rock, sand, beer or coffee in a cup, whatever. etc.
No beer bottles, you can hit the guy in the head but don't brek them to use it as a knife. They break and cut your hands and even when you use it to hit people in the head they cut your hands. doesn't work like in the movies. I got a scar 2 inchs long in my palm to prove it.

IF, and big if, when you have the space I alway take my shirt off in a fight and throw it in the guys face. You be surprised how many times people try to block a shirt. Natural instinct. One, the shirt might stick on their face and block there vision or they will throw their arms out to block the shirt and you have a wide open 1-2 shot and KTFO.

number two, Always keep both hands high and the chin down and fight dirty. Fingers to the eye, knee to the groin, bite the ears, whatever it takes.

If you didn't finish him by now you go into part two.

after the guy is getting the shirt off his face. poke really hard into his eyes. He will protect the eyes and stop fighting. Land the KO punch


Too dumb to listen to me. do this next.
Get in clinch range. Don't throw punch, they will miss unless you are 100% accurate the punch will land.

Here are the choices. HARD Knee to the groin, double leg take down to the mount or stomp the nutsif you have enough room, guillotine choke works in tight spaces and works 10 secs. You can hold his hair pull the head down and throw knee or uppercut.
KTFO

Some guys have shaved heads so bad idea but these ******s have baggy shirts. Grab the shirt collar and pull the shirt over the shoulders and head like they do in hockey. That is why I take off the shirt. Works great. KTFO again.

If you didn't beat the guy, this guy is a brawler. Some guys been enough fights to not get fooled by this crap and the fight is going pass a minute.

This part requires some submission skills and tons of space but works 100% of the time.

Let the guy throw a punch and slip the punch. Go to the ground on your back and keep the legs bent. 100% of the time the guy will stand over you and try to throw punchs. When he bends down over the legs to throw, kick your foot into his face or do heel kick. If that doesn't work let him try to hit you and grab his arm when he punchs and go for armbar and rip that muscle off his arm. watch out for stomps.

I prefer a weapon > shirt+cheap shot > knee to the groin> poke the eyes> guiliotine > take down if there is space > hair + knee ~ shirt over the head > getting into the guard position.

BTW, if you are close enough a wrestler will always take you down. You will get the shots in but wrestlers are a tough bunch and get you in the side control and a head lock and choke you out. More good wrestlers out there than boxers.

Most people hit like pussies is very true. Poeple don't know how to throw a punch. What gives? When my woman gets mad at me I let clock me hard as she can closed fist on the chin. I laugh it off but it makes her feel better. My lil bro ( bigger than me actually 6' tall) stings and bruised me up but no knockout.

i agree whoever lands the 1st. clean punch will probablly win the fight ...my advice is if you are in a confrontation for example in school or in a club as soon as the guy gets in your face talking shit take your best shot no need to talk shit back and aim for his nose trust me this will **** him up after that jump on him the fight will not last long because it will get broken up quick .

In a real street fight, anything goes. In fact, the BEST choice is to avoid these at all costs, and if possible walk/run away. In REAL street fights, broken bottles, knives, and guns can and will be used...

If you have no choice, then the first person to throw a clean strike is almost always the winner. Boxing and Street Fighting are very different things. I believe it was said somewhere on this board that "fights start standing up." There is truth to this, so that is the only way I can see how boxing could be somewhat beneficial.

There is nothing badass about a REAL 'street fight'. Just my 2cents.

I don't like street fighting, it's just for tough guys to try and prove themselves to their friends. I've only street fought when I was the one who was being provoked and I ended up winning all the street fights I had (about 5-6 :p)
What I recommend is a shot to the nose that will water up their eyes, most street fighters only care about ****ing the other guy up so their defense is lame, with watery eyes it's even worse.

i ve been in a few street fights , boxing came in handy .

most people are not used to the spedd power and combos of a decent boxer .

straight right left hook , and most of the times it sover , people arent used to get hit . plus they froze at the first punch and if they arent out they will try to wrestle . boxing is a weapon .

I've been downloading street fight vids lately. Just a a buncha silly suburbanites wailing on each other. So I figure the majority of people in the states fight like bitches. Lots of shirt grabbing, stalemate headlocks, and shitty hits. It's not even really a hit. It's more like bring down their fist in a primitive action. Like a monkey trying to open a nut with a rock. Or knocking on a door.

I haven't seen a real good street fight yet. If I were to say anything based off what I know already then I'd say Boxers got the upper hand. Should try to use the knees and elbows though.

if a boxer goes against a normal guy, the boxer will win 9 out of 10 times. if a boxer is taught how to defend against kicks and takedowns, then he will win 10 out of 10 times.

true, go to your strengths, if ur fast and got long arms, make sure u keep outta range. If he rushes ya, step to the side and keep the straight punches coming... from a boxers perspective anyways
frankly, i neva seen a boxer lose a street fight

Talking is for the biatches and fighters throw down.
That is till you get thrown in the tank or get parole and can't even leave the state. You can beat everyone up but you are at the mercy of the law.

I met Bas a few times at King of the Cages. He tried the bottle thing too like in the movies. He got laughed at when the bottle broke at the handle and were shorter than a toothpick. Bas actually got in some bad scraps as a bouncer so he stopped doing it. Got beat worse in street fights than fighting in the ring.
HE knew it was too dangerous even if he could beat everyone up
all it takes is one knife.

I had a lot of MMA fighters friends when I was younger and they were all bouncers at one point or another. Rampage jackson worked at Majestic in HB but he's lucky because it's an viet dance club. He can pick any of those guys with ONE hand.

Kick the balls doesn't always work. Some times you miss or damn cholo's pants are too baggy and you miss. That is why you use a knee.

open street fight wrestlers beats the boxer 9-10 times.

idiots... don`t talk to much shit plz...
i am boxer and i was in 5 street fights... nobody was able to take me down and no fight was longer tahn 5 seconds or 4 punches...

the point is.. if u are a good martial artist(sparring necessary) u will win against every normal person... a good boxer can ko a wrestler with his first two punches... and even can beat him on the gropund if he is very aggressive and an other boxer will get beaten up by a good wrestler... no matter what kjind of martial arts u are doing... the single erson and not the martial art wins the fight...
and now plz don't make me laugh... u don't need to learn defence against kicks in a street fight against a random dude... 5 seconds and it should be over...
i would prefer to stand up even if i would be a wrestler... it's very dangerous to go to the ground if there are more dudes around...
but a good dual leg takedown to the hard asphalt can also be nice...

straight on the opponente with punches if he has fall until you get near him, grab him, throw knees to body and crouch, he will bend over this is when you can throw an elbow in his backbone.

anyways the most important in any fight is the mentality

if i was in the situation were i needed to fight at school or on the street i'd jab(this will probably cause the guy to rush you with a barrage of punches) then juss try and bob and weave and block those punches, hopefully you don't get caught with one of those punches or its lights out if the guy has a heavy hand,after he throws 4 or 5 punches he'll probably become fatigue and this is the perfect opportunity to counter-punch....i dunno, this is bascilly boxing imo becasue your hitting and not gettting hit most people who train and box will have an advantage over the average joe and most people aren't used to getting hit

In a street fight, usually the figth starts wen both ppl are pretty close together, at furtheest like 20inches away. this distance wud not be good for a kick, it wud be good for a punch,elbow,headbutt,grapple. if ur the first person to attack with a punch,headbutt or elbow, and keep attacking and u got hard hits, ull beat him 4 sure, well u shud unless if hes skilled and grabs u. but most of the time, the 3-4 punches in the begining will finish ur opponent. but if it does go on the ground and hes a good wrestler and strong as u or stronger, high chance hell get u in submission

The only way boxing actually helps in a street fight is the fact that the boxer knows how to throw a decent punch. However, there are no rules in street fighting and 90 percent of them end on the ground.

ricecrispi
10-24-2005, 09:24 PM
I forgot to mention a blow to the throat works wonders. Don't wanna to poke the eyes and kick the balls. Smash his throat and automatic choke reflex.
Man how did i forget that one. Has it been that long.....

The only jab i throw is fingers to the eye and blow to the throat. You only jab in a street fight to see how the guy reacts and see how smart he is. Jab works on wimps who can't fight and aren't tough.

When you fight a grown man, not some skinny 16 year old geek or skinny ******, that jab ain't going to stop a fight. I'm talk 200 pound 6' tall man, not some little kid you beat up in the playground behind the grade school. I'm talk some tough guy in a bar, ex-con, ex-cop, or ex-military.

As for a wrestler, they are tougher than people think. Before they grapple they do a lot of hand grappling and slapping the head. They naturally protect the head, keep the hands high, chin low and have quick body movement to avoid punches.
You don't know how to wrestle it's over very quick once when they grab you.

Figthts always end up in the ground if you can't knock out the guy on your feet.
