Has boxing made you realize how many people just can't fight?

[J.Dempsey]

Boxing is ultimately a form of self defense. And as such should never be practiced outside of the gym/dojo unless it is a last resort. Just like someone with a blackbelt in whatever martial art it is.....you could get arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon because of your training.

i'd have to disagree, boxing is a sport, self defense is alot more uglier (biting/gouging/kicking to the nuts etc) If ur life depends on it, u'd do anything to protect it and boxing wud come last for me, if someone had me cornered with a knife, a kick to the nuts wud spring to mind

I broke my ex's bf's face some years ago. I did a Tyson right hook then left hook in the southpaw position. I was like " This mofo can't fight for ****, thank God for boxing!"

your ex-boyfriends face?

weird site that.

How does someone collate all the stuff?

Put yeah, 95% of people's first punch would be a crazy wide haymaker that a competant person with any kind of reactions would have to be drunk not to avoid.

I remember watching 'I love New York' the first series, when Chance put the geeky Boston out and was convinced that he could fight. He couldn't fight at all, I wonder if someone kicked his arse since then.

its true at my school most of the supposedly "tough" kids dont know how to punch properly, wouldnt last five mins in the ring

If you can throw a good jab and a hard straight right you will beat 80% of people on the street , basic but its true .

yea its crazy. some guy called me out with text messages a while back, i was like whatever if he wants some he can get it. so he got scared and got his friends to start texting me too, i was like "ill take all of u on no problem". and they punked out.. i guess thats more about mental toughness though, i mean they know that i box so i just let them know how confident i was and they got scared. not to say i was bluffing but if i was they didnt call it, u feel me?

my point is, true most ppl cant fight. aswell as they wont even with the odds in their favor if they think they have even the slightsest chance of losing. since boxing nobody has intimidated me outside of the ring, others are mentally weak.

I try to avoid street fighting since I know if I sit down on my punches my hand is most likely going to break without being properly wrapped. People that don't box can't throw a proper punch and are clueless on defending one. Bodybuilders are the worst fighters without any boxing training. They think they're bad because of their size, but they can't fight and have piss poor stamina.

Tell ya what.

They should put them kids on the undercards of some major fights.

Let'em go at it without gear and gloves. Plus they'll make a little money while they're at it.

You'll definitely get more excitement from those than a lot of the undercard fights we've been getting on PPV.

Its shocking how many guys dont know how to throw a punch it really is!
U just assume Everyone is born knowing how to throw a punch, i knew before boxing anyways but that aint the case!

What do you mean doesn't know how to throw a punch exactly? Like can't throw a hard straight punch or isn't capable of mixing up hooks and jabs? Essentially that most untrained folks would just throw wild roundhouse punches from their waist until landing..
