I guess some boxers could be gunshy the first few seconds and get KO by a big crazy guy
    gunshy? now that's funny

      I was in some a few years ago, to be honest there isnt much to tell. Like i said i just pick my shot and take them out, it helps when your pretty big too.

      I'll save my storys for another day.

          more seriously , i m a former national amateur boxer , and honestly the fw fights i have been in i just landed a combo and the guys were knocked down or looking at me with a scared look .

          most peôple dont know how to fight , and even more dont know you can put punches together.

          i fought in muay thai too but i would only use low kicks and knees in a fight , kicks are way too risky IMO .

            If I had beef with a world class fighter on the street, I dont think I would fight him. Unless it was a guy from 135lbs and lower

              He probably did. Boxers hit extremely hard compared to an untrained person, even boxers like Hopkins who aren't known as huge punchers.

                  All I know is. Fighting RJJ on the street would be an absoulute nightmare. He has size, speed, power, and intelligence. Imagine him slipping punches and hitting you with blind shots. Damn.

                    Actually if you have a good command of pressure points and or sweet spots for punching and kicking, (most boxers do) you should be able to handle yourself.
                    Tell me one time a pure boxer has won a fight in a full contact match (UFC, PRIDE, etc). There was one or times I've seen it happen...well, I actually saw it once never saw the other. In the earlier UFC matches where there were no rounds nor were there gloves...the boxers were getting hammered left and right.

                    Of course these people were not elite boxers nor were their competitors. It'd still be the same now considering all the full contact fighters are no longer just karate or jujitsu or kick boxing practitioners and they work out full-time.

                    So if we get a mediocre boxer against a mediocre martial artist in the street the result will probably be the same as they were in the first series of UFC tournaments.

                      But don't forget that these "theories" are almost all practiced now in MMA schools...believe me, I've been to three and there were pictures of BRUCE LEE all over each of the schools. I mean to say in the 70s to put wrestling & boxing together was pretty silly. Each school sort of kept to their own thing rather than thinking about other styles and schools.

                      As for crazy people...I fear them more than bigger trained guys I've fought. You can never really predict what they're going to do.
