street fight vs. boxing

[pistol whip]

but still not as good as a trained boxer so again, i would rather have trained boxers with me on the street than a trained mma.

Former cruiserweight Boxing Champion vs Marginal MMA fighter. By the way this was in 94 or 95 which is ****ing crazy since MMA has evolved a hundred times over.

I love how he toys with him with just a little ground a pound.

You do know that MMA has evolved to where most MMA fighters can strike just as well as this guy right?? I know this is really shocking and your mind might explode but they actually have boxing coach's now and some top level MMA fighters have high profile boxing coach's like Freddie Roach. It isn't 1996 anymore my friend.

What that means is not only could a well rounded MMA fighter beat up these guys just as well with his fists but he could also take the boxer down in a 1 on 1 fight and break his ****ing arm.

Haha you telling me those UFC Guys strike like a boxer? and its like i said its more their defensive limitations letting em down, They constantly open to be hit, which against a big puncher would spell KO!!!

Yes some of them can!!! Fedor Emilalinko the Undisputed HW champ learned to box in Communist Russia sport machine during the 80's and then became world sambo champion before he started fighting in UFC and Pride. Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, Mirko Cro Cop are all examples of fighters that not only carry power in both hands but they can also knock you out with leg strikes and submit you on the ground if need be. They are complete fighters and not just one dimensional.

Really depends who you fight.

A regular street fighter who swings aimlessly will more than likely get caught by a boxer easy.

Now if you're fighting someone who does for instance Thai Boxing and Wing Chun and know what they're doing, the 1st instance the boxer makes to approaching that dude is more than likely gonna get his knee cap kicked right in.

Bruce Lee made mention of it on an old TV show Longstreet



Really comes down to who you're fighting. But a skilled Boxer IMO beats a regular Joe Blow streetfighter.

I definitely have some insight on this one! First of all people that box for real have some pretty clear advantages:

1)Through sparring they gain the ability to take punches and punishment.
2)Their nervous level before an engagement is lesser because they spar. This means they operate more efficiently once the fists or feet fly.
3)Their timing (through sparring) is much better.
4.)Their power is usually much better.

The martial arts such as MMA, Muay Thai or kickboxing offer some of the advantages I just mentioned for the boxer.

Wrestlers or judo can be a tough problem for a boxer, BUT these guys need to have entry skills to really deal with a striker.

I think some of the boxers in the pro ranks could do well in a street fight or against some of the martial artists. Fighters like Mike Tyson, Ricardo Mayorga, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao, or Jeff Lacy to name a few. These are all agressive guys that hit really hard.
The boxers that pace themselves and BOX too much may not do well in a street fight because you would have to get your shots in immediately against a wrestler or judo, jujitsu guy that was determined to tie you up and throw you or to do a double leg takedown.

Boxers vs. most other martial arts: Karate, Tae Kwon Do, or some Kung Fu styles would be very advantageous to boxers because alot of these styles have no realistic sparring or proving grounds for their techniques. Unless the person is always using this stuff in an actual fight in his daily life.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Quality Post!

Well also too, a lot of Martial Artists train in Western Boxing (mainly Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun).

My man practices with Dan Inosanto in LA (One of Bruce Lee's well known apprentices) and he told me they have Pro Boxers training students in the basic fundamentals of Boxing.

These days more and more Martial Artists are becoming well rounded. And for the dude who said UFC guys can't throw hands like Boxers? Don't be so quick to judge. Anderson Silva is one of the most accurate punchers I've ever seen.

Do some history homework. Dude never fought in a tournament with structured rules for a reason. Because it takes away the essence of a "fight"

Yes I did some research and I learned that Bruce Lee actually crashed to earth after escaping from the planet Krypton and is therefore invulnerable to just about everything and cannot be defeated by anyone either.

****head.

If a wrestler took me down in a life or death situation he better not like having eyeballs or ears. This is the nonsense part of the argument. "Ooh if it goes to ground then the wrestler wins!". Not if the wrestler is a clean cut college type and his opponent is a nasty ****er. On the other hand in an unarmed fight the better striker will likely "win" regardless of dirty tactics.

I already made my feelings on street fights pretty clear in this thread, the winner is anyone who manages not to get hurt. But if you want to think of it in terms of "win" and "loss" then the "winner" is the guy who has the toughest friends.

tell your buddy to go un-**** himself, because i'm curious as to how he thinks any of these pricks who hit up their dojo twice a week in between office hours and their evening tango classes with their fiance would even stand a chance against a habitual ass kicker who has nothing else on his mind but fighting his way to the top.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
