Best in a street fight?

fists seemed to work for turkish rambo just fine.

i snuck a guy once who was beating up my friend, out of a full sprint with a straight right hand (With a case of beer and ice in a backpack on my back..)(this is before i boxed though) to the back of his head. he fell down hurt, and i ran off,(mardi gras, crowd of ppl saw) my hand was fine.

personally i like 2 box
and it really depends on who it is im fighting
when ur opponent comes rushing in,peck him in the face with a straight hard punch
make him think again
but who cares its a street fight
kick his ass in the balls if u have 2 lol

Realistically if you hit with power, or if both guys in a streetfight situation hit with power, all that is going to matter is who connects on the chin, temple, heart, liver or solar plexus with the first good blow.

it's too big a risk to use your fists when your life is in the balance. i teach self defense for a living, not fighting, but self defense, methods of keeping you alive and out of trouble. one time or another something might not happen to you when you use a fist, but the reality is the risk is far greater than the reward. there are too many bones, joint and tendons in your hand that compromise the stability of your strike, especially a bare fist against a hard ass skull. i have known people( a certain person in this case ) to break a knuckle on another guy chin, knocking the guy out and busting a knuckle at the same time. then having to fight off homeboys friends. luckily i was there to get my friend out of there before he got murdered, and luckily i knew the bouncers so they got him out of there before the cops came.

the reality is, using your fists in a real street fight is a risk, you can take the risk and nothing might never happen to you, and i hope nothing does ever happen, but the fact of the matter is you can hurt your hand a hell of a lot easier when using a fist instead of using a edge of hand blow or use a tiger claw palm strike, or an elbow.

perfect case in point, bare knuckle boxing, guys would dip their head when their opponents threw so they would strike the top of their head, which would in turn hurt their opponents hand more than it hurt their head, in a lot of cases the guy striking would break or sprain something. if a guy throws up an elbow in front of his face to defend himself and you hit him on the elbow? what's going to win, the elbow or your fist? the fist will get busted hitting an elbow straight on.

like i said, if your life is on the line, a fist isnt worth the risk. plus you can't gouge anyones eye out with a fist!

Most fights normally go to the ground so if you are a boxer i would say keep your distance and throw.
