Boxing as streetfighting?

[deuce_drop]

i have to say that kid was patient and has a helluva left hook.
any kind of fighting experience is going to help you in a streetfight.the majority of people in the world don't have any fight training.

the only thing is, a lot of people who do like to fight do have some kind of training, that or they've fought their whole lives and like to mix it up.

Have any of you guys been in a streetfight where your boxing training helped you out? One of my friends told me boxing wouldn't help you in a streetfight because its not the same style so you wouldn't expect the same punches, but check out this fight:

the guy has his guard up and it looks like he deflects the other guys punches then hits him with a left jab. What do you guys think?

I dont really think having a knowledge of boxing helps ina street fight. Like Emannuel Steward says even a crafty veteren like Winky Wright will have porblems with a guy like Soliman for the first couple rounds. You have to adjust to the wild and unorthodox style and fights usuually last no more than 30 seconds. Its basically who ever lands the first wild shot. If you try to wait and jab jab and throw punches the guy is just gonna rush you and maybe take one jab and throw many haymaker punches.

I think it may help a tiny bit but not as much as poeple think. Wow how many right hands did the blue shirt kid throw? ZERO

It helps in the aspect of being able to throw a proper punch cause theirs alot of people who cant actualy throw a proper punch

as a kid yes you can box another kid into submission.. as you get older the conditioning becomes more of a factor

this is how you should train for a streetfight.

Boxing is definitely an advantage as well though in a streetfight as most people like to punch, and who punches better than a boxer? nobody.

Thats cool, I always thought having boxing training gave you experience on how to throw a punch. About a week before I started boxing, I got in a fight with a "gangster" who said he was going to knock me out in a few seconds. A crowd of about 30-40 people showed up after school, and I had been saying I don't wanna fight you for a while (he's a big dude, and everyone kind of knows him to be a good fighter). He ran at me and through a huge right hook, and I ducked under him and came back with a left jab right to the face and literally knocked him out. It inspired me to box for some strange reason.

Anyways, I doubt it, but do you think that your boxing guard can stop their wild haymakers?

most street fighters only have 1 or 2 good punches most will only use a hook or overhand .... yes it will help but it does not always lead to a automatic win ...

[C mART!]

got into a fight once, Kid threw crazy haymakers, i just leanin, when i saw me opening, hit him with a cross, he never saw it coming, fell down, hit his head, and went unconcious for 15 minutes...scariest 15 minutes of MY life. I could have went to jail for murder, then the kid just snapped out of it...since then i avoid all fights unless in the ring, or i feel im seriously threatened. Kid are dumb, and have big ego's. Is it worth it? yeah sure, they'll call u a p*ssy and such, but in my mind, it shows a lot more charecter to walk away from a fight you kno you'll win then to start one you know you'll win

[DUPLICITY]

it depends, a trained boxer with a big punch could easily take any untrained fighter out. Imagine it like.. George Foreman taking on some guy the same size as him.

Yeah. This is an excellent example. One of the hardest punchers in boxing history against some guy off the street.

Brilliant.
