Boxing technique in street fights

[me2007]

ive never understood why people in a confrontation stand directly in front of the other person, 2 inches away...ive seen it happen so many times. idiots!

So with that said if I'm squared up against someone in an orthodox stance should I jab with the left first straight to the face since he'll probably be expecting a looping overright hand as most people do when they fight?

Nope never make the first move.. always use the other guys momentum against him.. You can counter him with a JAB if he telegraphs his punch enough .. if he ahs enough forward momentum.. you can stun him with the JAB and then Finish him with a nice right..

But still What you are saying works too.. But I prefer to counter

I don't know how u guys fight in the street, but we don't box. I've seen people bite, spit, throw sand in the face, etc. Boxing is boxing. A fight is a fight. I will do just about anything to win. You can try dat boxing **** but when somebody bites you like a dog and punches you in your throat or knee you we'll see how much it helps.

you can have all the boxing skills or street fighting skills in the world but if you lack the mental strength to street fight you will get ktfo.

I have seen a martial artist who had years of experience, black belts etc get beaten senseless by someone throwing wild haymaker type punches.

In a street fight most mma skills are useless. If you are fighting the guy 1 on 1 on a padded floor maybe its of use, lets be honest, if you are in the real world, you probably have more than one attacker, going for a take down will get you kicked in the back of the head, stabbed, or worse.

If you have to fight, stay on your feet, fight fast and feriociously until they are no threat, then run like the wind or you'll get busted.

I agree with this thats why I don't buy the whole "I'll let the other guy hit me first," talk. Just like pro fighters say, everyone has a plan until they get punched. A single punch can rattle you, and cause you to panic. Thats why if I think its going down, I'm making sure I get off first.

I have a friend that just recently beat the hell out of some 4th degree black belt kid because he just started wailing on him with haymakers, and the kid panicked.

Boxing helps like any martial art would help, but you need to be multi dimensional if your in a street fight with someone who has some fighting ability. Unless you get a lucky punch in and KO the dude you will end up wrestling/grappling. So I would say its good to know some other art like wrestling to help you out if you dont KO the guy with the first couple of blows.

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.

i agree with this...

The chances of breaking your hands in a street fight are pretty high.

If it goes to the ground, like it usually does, it pays to be knowledgeable and in good condition in that situation.
