How well has boxing worked for you in a street fight ?

[garfios]

Yep. This is the right approach. Do what you have to do and GTFO quick. Punching is relatively, clean, quick and low commitment.

Grappling works great in a CONTROLLED 1 v 1 environment where you know there are no weapons and nobody is gonna come out of nowhere and attack you while you're grabbing someone else. Its needlessly risky for the streets and should only be used when you have to, which usually means you ****ed up at boxing range.

Agreed 100%, if it is a melee with a few people, you're in trouble on the ground.

Did you know anyone who has used Boxing in a street fight how well did it work for them ? What were they level of boxing ? Were they recreational boxers or amateur or professionals ?

Depends how smart people are and how trained they are. If i met a boxer id taken him down and pound him.
If I met a wrestler id control distance & id kick or knee him coming in.

Larned how to properly kick with Karate, but it was with Boxing that I learned to properly throw/set a punch while being defensively responsible at same time. Last time I lost a street fight I was 13 yo. So far cant complain.
