So boxing is useless in a street fight?

[goldenglove2]

That's basically what MMA fans are saying on sherdog forums. I encourage these fools to try and square up with a legit in shape non washed up boxer and see how fast they get K.O'd.

I'm an MMA fan over a boxing fan but boxing is one of the best possible things to know on the street. The ability to move and throw quick combinations and keep yourself from becoming surrounded is one of the best things you could know. But one on one, an MMA fighter will win the vast majority of confrontations.

Exactly. And both sports are about 1vs1 confrontations, right?! People don't realize how hard it is to catch a guy coming in for the takendown with a single punch and KO him. Nearly impossible. Almost every MMA fight goes to the ground when one of the fighters wants it to.

Guns are the most useful in a street fight. I want to see the most fit MMA fighter take on a fat old guy with a pistol pointed at him from 10 yards away.

Yup big puss!es always hang with his buddies and carry guns cause they can't fight for ****. You take his buddies and his guns and all he has is his big mouth but is like a scare rabbit in the woods. LOL

well.....a FIGHT does not only consist of only punching. It all depends on your opponent's skillset/level. A boxer have a hard time fighting a good wrestler........

staying on topic. No, boxing is NOT unless, but its not the only thing you need in a street fight. street fights don't have standing 8 counts and "breaks" when fighters grab each other..

They werent street fighting they were in an MMA fight. In the streets it would have got stood up.

What about if the good mma fighter fought a good boxer...

It would only depend on the fighter really, there is a lot more to street fighting then both MMA and Boxing. From Bruce Lee's mouth, there is finger jabbin' to the eye, kick to the groin and biting. Now try to put someone who's willin' to do all that into a submission; see how that works.

Yea a good bite usually makes somebody let go of a choke hold.

Grown ass men shouldn't be getting into street fights. If you're over, let's say 19 years old, and you're still getting into street fights, you are a man-child.
