    the fact that you're faster, more instinctive, more composed, and in much better shape, and less likely to fatigue from straight up nervousness makes you more than a match for 90% of the trash out there.

    it's the man, not the style. throughout the sport's history there have been plenty of boxers who grew up rough and were notorious brawlers before they found the sport. even an old dempsey who started off beating the **** out of would-be rapist hobos, still knocked the **** out of a pair of muggers when he was already an old man. flip the switch and a great boxing phenom like hamed who grew up in the gym was known to have his ass handed to him in pubs (in his defense, the guy was only a FW).

    stylistically, boxing is still among one of the best and most practical forms of defense (but surely not the only). you can go into details, but even all of these "reality defense programs" for your every day housewife still incorporate traditional boxing into their arsenal.

      In the past i've mentioned that Vargas was a street fighter and would get in a fight with many that looked at him the wrong way or said some ****** ****. And people act like Vargas attitude is just an act, but Vargas was a type of guy who would fight you in a second and walked and the talk. But for some reason people that don't know or where around Vargas, don't belive this, but Vargas was down to fight whomever.

        I try not to get into street fights. I have though when I was young and ****** and they didnt last too long and its a bigger mess than you hope to bargain for if someone gets hurt. Someone out there can have your number as well or a gun. My brother and his best friend both boxed as well and they've been in multiple street fights, bar fights that I have heard were ugly. I tell em to keep it in the ring because they could hurt somebody and it ain't worth the trouble. Against a regular street brawler boxing should come in handy. If you fight someone that maybe has wrestled or can put you on ground and split you up it would be hard if all you got is hands. How many people you meet in the street study, know, or compete in mma though? How many people you know, know how to throw a proper punch? Alot of wannabes though.

          Last gym i was at. My teammate kept getting into street fights. He'd win, but his would end up messing up his hand or hands and could train for a few days. Supposedly a liscensed boxer, by law, his hands are leathal weapons, i belive this goes for both amature and pro. At the same gym, a couple of boxers ended up in and out of juvinal hall/jail because they wouldn't back down in a street fight. One of them i expected to hear from him now as a pro, but instead i hear that he gets in a lot of street fights and this guy was another Oxnard top usa amature boxer, i remember at one time for his weight he was ranked number 8 in his division in the usa amature boxing.

            In a real street fight technique is secondary. Will to win and willing to do whatever it takes will determine the winner. Grab objects to use as weapons, strike the eyes, throat, groin, back of head, bite, scratch, anything to win

              I don't think i could do all that **** to win but then who knows. But i know a friend who's only 5'2 very stocky guy, strong build. He's a really good street fighter, one of my brothers went to school with him and he has told him this guy could hold his own and more. This friend once told me, "i'll box a guy if he's the same height as i'am, but if the guy is taller then me i'm going to put him in the hospital, hey, im a small guy, i have to hurt you quick." Then he went on to show me some street tactics, and this guy is a good boxer too. Me personally, i havn't been in many street fights, my fights happened when i was younger. I had a certain look and hang around some heavy people so most people would think twice about picking a fight with me. But when you are older, you don't care to get in a street fight at least i don't unless i can't avoid it. As a boxer and i think most boxers know what they can do and don't need to prove it to no one unless they have to.

                    I heard a statistic say 97% of fights end up on the ground, that really says alot. Hey, if you can throw a porper one two as a counter and knock someone the hell out you won't have to worry about it going on the ground.

                      jab jab jab all day. keeps you back, up off the ground, and makes em lunge in opening them up for the finishing left hook. if they don't just run away with a broken nose from the jabs.
