Why do people act like Boxing is not effective in a street fight?

[squealpiggy]

lol.

You've never been in a fight, Ikea boy.

Is there some hidden meaning to Ikea that I'm not aware of, or are you just a ****?

It's possible to get involved in a fight without looking for it, that's what you missed in your initial post. But Ikea boys like you don't get involved in any fights, cause you don't get out much anyway.

Of course boxing is effective in street fighting, if you aren't fighting someone skilled in something else. Wrestling, grappling, are better suited for street fighting IMO because a street fight has no rules and will eventually come to grappling, kicking, etc...

street fights will usually involve several guys jumping you and/or some maniac pulling a knife on you. Street figthing sucks and should be avoided if possible.

actually it is lots of fun against opponent who starts it himself. when you see fear in his eyes after few landed punches.

Ikea Boy:

A Stereotype of a guy who indulges in buying designer furniture and decor, or watches HGTV and subscribes to the Horchow catalog to satisfy an empty part of his life. The majority is often Emo or Gay, but also includes guys in the entertainment industry, and urban loners with too much money. The title, Tyler Durden (Pitt; alternate personality), gave himself(Norton) in the movie, "Fight Club".

Near the end of Fight Club, when Tyler stands up to... himself;
-"Now why would you want to put a gun to your head?"
-"Not my head Tyler; Our head."
-"Interesting... Where you going with this, Ikea boy."

"Ron, Your lamp shade matches your coasters... This is your dorm room! When did you become an Ikea boy?" -not Fight Club

I am 6.1 154 pounds, 20 year old. used to have red hipster type glasses that just screamed ''i can take that ****** , no problem, my gf will be so proud''. Practiced boxing for 2+ years .

So basically every Friday in the old town there was someone who would try to disrespect me because i looked weak and got more woman than they did. Anyway i have fought around 30-40 times on the streets and most of them ended up being the average ''looping right hand that you saw a day before'' joe. Once they get hit with few jabs they understand that they are in deep trouble . Some start hesitating, some go berserk but none can achieve anything. They just dont know how to punch, how to keep distance , they just hope that if they land i will fall.

One time when i got in a scrap with an mma dude everything was all right but of course when he felt that stand up ain't gonna cut it, he took me to ground. I felt him trying to lock my hand. My brains went, **** this **** no more fair play and i poked his eye. He let me go and I just rained punches until he asked me to stop which i did.

The other one was a security guard . A big ****er around 6.4 210 pounds. A grown man. My friends decided to hit casino for few minutes. I didn't have an ID on me so I waited with one of the buddies outside. Just smoking, waiting. Suddenly security guard bus arrives and tells as to go away. We ask why and the big **** just headlocks me. I spur out and yell at him ''what the **** are you doing ******''. He decides to hit my leg with his stick. Being the ****y bastard that i am, i start teasing him so he starts swinging with his stick. He catches my shoulders, legs and starts aiming for my head. I slip under one of those punches and catch him with a david haye type looping overhand right. Cheek bone cracks, he collapses and I kick him in the spleen. It is over, faces of surrounding guards are priceless, my lads rush out and lay a beating on all of them. I end up geting a 5k compensation.

No martial art can go hand to hand in a fist fight vs boxer, kicks are pretty useless on the streets. and this BS about being trained to catch a hand mid punch is garbage. Ain't nobody catching my jabs and straights. block or evade are only options. Different story is when a ground guy gets u in position where you can't cheap shot him. Than it is over for boxer.Bones break, tissue collapses, lights go out.

Closest fight that i have had vs average dude is when i was blackout drunk. Friend told me that it looked like a poor mans version of myself. Still won, afterwards got jumped by two of his friends a knee to the chest and chin. Felt backwards and hit my head against hinges. Woke up in the hospital.

I bit my toungue on the rest of the nonsensical stories in here, but this just reeks of typical BoxingScene-pissing-contest-storytelling-to-try-and-impress-random-people-on-the-internet-they-will-never-probably-meet.

If you are older than 15 you really are flat out lying or an immature idiot. over 6 feet but you weigh less than I do, and you are dropping 200 lbs people having "boxed for 2 years", whataver that means, who knows how intensive that is, I have been boxing since 2003, so even 2 elite years is not a whole lot on the grand scheme of things, I also laughed when a guy in here said he "knew alot" but had only trained for 3 months.
Red glasses? What is this, Sin City? And people pick on you because you seem weak and get more girls? I bet they do. How do they know how many girls you get? If you try and tell stories like this to women you probably get none. "picking on weak" is so cliche, and void from reality of most nightclub scenes. Here in real life when adults actually fight, 9/10 they are low lifes with no self respect, and or it's over a woman, or something trivial and non related to you just looking like a pushover. I'm sure you pull tons of girls (sure not women, at 20) standing outside of casinos with no ID and underage.
30 to 40 fights in the streets? Ok buddy, put down the 50 Cent albums and the weed and try making it through real life. You remember the details of them all yet during some you were blackout drunk.
All else aside, an underage fighting drunk, yep, no surprise there.
And martial arts can't mess with boxing? More foolishness. I have significantly more boxing experience than you, and though it's true that proper punching and movement go a long way, I wouldn't hesitate to use other techniques I have learned studying wing chun and in self defense programs during my time in the military.
It's not that difficult to throw a combination and transition to a wing chun maneuver or go for a submission or dirty blow from the inside.
As a matter of fact the more I read over this nonsense the more I am convinced it's completely fabricated. I can't wait to see if this guy tries to defend this pathetic post, it would be awesome.

Urban dictionary is about as quotable as wiki.
And lol @ having class, style, and being well off being negative traits. I would rather be an "Ikea boy" with the corresponding paycheck and style sense to match and compliment shades and colors than be anything less.

I was not trying to impress anyone. Immature is not the right word to describe my actions in the past, stupid is more like it. My weight is 154 and i am 6.1 it's because I **** like a bird
In and out. Not saying that I am dropping 200+ lbs man on regular basis but the story is true. It was a hail Mary punch and if i have not landed it ,most likely I would end up in hospital with my head dented. That was one of rare times when I was 100% without fault.

I had red glasses as well, now it is lences. Trained hard for 2 years but never went to competition because I was too lazy to go trough all the doctors and I didn't have anything to prove. Went to England for work, came back dumped my girlfriend. After that everything went downhill for me. Became A+ ******* .

If you don't believe I have fought 30-40 times i guess there is no way how I can prove it. When yo life in a country where half of population speaks russian instead of language they should be speaking it gets on your nerves. Russians are hot blooded so it is not hard to get in a conflict with them. Especially in the old town when you are drunk yourself. Half of them fights I can't even remember because of how drunk I was.

I hate 50 cent and I am doing really bad in real life. Making one foolish decision after another. Sometimes it seems that only thing I am decent at is fighting. Ir seems that I am drunk. Didn't have a drink for a month and woke up in a random place totally out of my mind last Sunday. For my age i already have so many addictions that it scares me. If I will not change my ways soon i will end up in wooden box. i am very aware of that.

If not for my friends no idea where i would be right now.

The part about getting woman/girls was just to spice the story up. I guess talking to woman is the second thing I know how to do. But I don't understand why they seem to like me. And why should it be so important part for you ?

Probably I am biased about boxing being so effective on the streets is beacause i have not seen any effective kung fu/taek won do/ moves being pulled off.

Anyway. Believe or believe not I have another black eye for the last Sunday. Certainly not proud about it
