Useful Boxing Techniques in Street Fights?

[Double_L]

Hey all, I was wondering if your standard boxing techniques are useful for your average street fight. Now I'm not planning on going out and picking a fight or anything, I'm just wondering how training boxing in an amateur setting would help a person defend himself should the need ever arise.

Could anyone with any experience, or anyone with an opinion, say how useful (or worthless) these techniques are in a real fight?:

- Keeping your hands up
- Head movement
- Use of the jab
- Counterpunching (and good defense in general)
- Feints
- Foot movement

Feel free to add anything I didn't mention that you feel is useful.

Seems like most n00bs you see fighting on the street just throw wide hooks until they get lucky or KTFO. I know that most fights end up on the ground but maybe if you caught them coming in...

Fight like Aaron Pryor, don't stop punching eventually he'll try to block them and then start using accuracy more than using power.

Also clinching and hitting on break.

I find punching people in the face when they are in mid sentence as hard as I can is very usefull in winning a street fight.

Has worked for me many times in the past. Don't argue, don't discuss who was right or wrong, just punch them as hard as you can dead in the ***in mouth....

This is all you need to know, this **** is one of the best things I have ever seen. Nothing is more funny than people acting funny and not even realizing they are hilarious.

The only thing about street fighting is that 95% of the time you'll win if you train regularlly. But if for some crazy reason you fight against a world class pro boxer, you gonna get KTFO hard. That happened to one of my friends's cousin in Colombia who got beat up by Juan Urango. I'm not sure it's true but his cousin got his ass kicked in the story so it's probably true.

I guess the next step would be to run away as fast as you can after because the element of surprise will wear off.

Hopefully the other guy isn't too fast
