Boxing is such a superior skill in real fights. There are two types of fights that happen outside of the sporting ring...there are the gentlemanly fights/group fights and the fight for your life type fight. In neither one is mma practical, but boxing skills are practical in both.
1. In the gentlemanly/group fights, I am talking about the type of fights you see in basketball, rugby, football, hockey etc...or the type of fights that happen between two guys at a bar, ususally with one maybe slightly unsuspecting. In these fights MMA is impractical. In group fights that you see a lot in sporting events, taking someone down and wearing them out for 4 minutes and then choking them/kicking someone is impractical and totally useless. YOu dont want to take someone down because while youre choking them, theyre friend is going to come by and fieldgoal kick your face. If you kick youll look like a complete ***** etc... boxing is pretty much all that is used in those types of fights. In the sucker punch bar fights, reflexes/counterpunching and striking are all that matters. a. someone will break it up if you try that mma stuff and b. if you did try to go to the ground again, chances are someone smashes a beer bottle over your head or while your ground and pounding for 5 minutes the cops come in and you go to jail. A guy like Tyson in a bar fight? 1 hitter quitter...lights out, game over.
2. The other type of fight is the alley type life or death fight. In that type of fight mma stuff might be practical, however, MMA is way too limited. You arent wearing gloves and if you try to arm bar someone or something chances are they use their other hand and rip your nuts off Sonny Chiba style. Also last thing you want to do is be wrestling on the ground with a guy in a fight like that...way too likely they have a knife and gut your sides. If Im in a fight for my life and I know the other is un armed, im throwing punches and if it gets to the ground im ripping ears, gouging eyes, and doing anything...mma holds wont work and dont include fish hooks.
So in summary the only practical skill in actual fights is boxing.
