I am starting to doubt my boxing...

[GorgeousJorge]

openings??? its a ****in street fight for christ sakes. Overhand right, bum rush him, and smash his head in the concrete. Done deal!

I woulda walked right through that jab and power bombed the **** out of you!

oh yea, dont listen to this idiot below me. never throw a kick in a street fight.

Never throw a kick in a street fight? That's nonsense. In a street fight you should use every thing available. Punches, kicks, fingernails, elbows, headbutts.

You're all talk and I honestly think you have very little experience with fighting.

Power Bomb a guy so when you pick him up you're the most available person in the world to get hit in the back of the head by his friends? Your fantasies are very cute.

Your right, never been in one.


Let me know how that kicking works out for you when somebody bum rushes you.

I don't know, ever since I been back in boxing I haven't been the same and am losing confident in my own skills.

Oh and I know fighting outside is wrong and I deeply regret it and I am deeply ashamed for being partly blamed for the incident.

I fought a guy on the street about 18 months ago in a road rage incident and I can say that things aren't always as they seem.

This guy tried to run me into a median and started brake checking me when I got up behind his dumb a55. I threw my middle fingers up at the guy and he pointed to the side of the road. That's all I needed because I was already super pissed at what they idiot had done. He pulls off the road to the right and I came right behind him about 3-4 car lengths back and jumped out.

I did this out of anger and realized it was ****** because the guy could have shot me if he had a gun. He didn't so I approached and for a few feet from him asking what the problem was and why he was dricing like a prick. The guy went into how I brake checked him first, etc when I just went the speed limit over a bridge that is known for having police sitting on the other side waiting for speeders.

The guys is talking minor crap and I'm doing the same. The next thing you know were pretty close and the guy ends one of his sentences with 'b*tch" with authority. Now, usually I don't start ****, I just react violently once threatened, but this guy saying this so close to my face and having such an attitude saying it, thinking I wasn't going to do anything but b*tch, pushed my button just right.

I threw the left hook and didn't really mean to land it with full force and the guy pulled back so I missed by a few inches. Once I knew where his head was going to be pulling back I threw a right hand that would have made Tszyu in his prime proud. I connected 100% solid on the cheek of the guy.
It wasn't the chin but the way the punch landed I literally looked down at the ground expecting the guy to be there twitching............he wasn't.

The guy came forward trying to throw punches but I was winging my own with such speed and accuracy, he could land nothing and just tried to take me down. I used leverage to push his momentum around me and he hit the ground. As he was on all fours I remember thinking I could kick this guy straight in the face and this is over but I just can't be that cruel. Plus, It had been a while since I had been in a fight and wanted to see if I still "had It".

As it turns out, I did still have it in spades but as we were fighting I realized that weight makes a huge difference in impact of punches. I literally hit the guy with almost everything I had again and he fell this time but he wasn't seriously hurt and certainly wouldn't have stayed down for ten seconds had I not got on top of him this time.

Now, for an additional bit of info, the guy was about 6' tall, same as me but outweighed me by about 20-30 lbs. I go at 200-208 lbs usually and would probably fight at light heavyweight if I boxed. I out boxed the guy easy and landed on him hard enough to fracture my hand but still couldnt seriously hurt the guy.

I came away feeling like **** because I did that for a ****** reason but what bothered me most was not knocking the guy down or out enough to stop him. He landed nothing that remotely hurt me and I landed just like I wanted each time I threw a combination.

I went away feeling like a POS especially when I found out that I lost a priceless necklace in the fight that my brother gave me when I was a teenager. I think it was gods way of telling me to settle down and it's not wlways worth it.

The point of the story was to entertain and to help the TS know and understand that things don't always go how they play out in your mind or how you see it on TV........Stick to doing it in a gym as a sport. That's what I'm going to do............

Hopefully.

Thanks for reading.

Why would anyone throw a kick when getting bum rushed? That's the wrong time to use a kick.

You really have a lot to learn and the more you talk about fighting, the more you show me, but more importantly, the more you are showing to yourself, how little you know and how many wonderful things you can learn about.

Just take steroids. **** it

That's what you get for fighting some random guy like a boxer
No judges/decision on the street

While it's not "the street", plenty of guys have been KO'd in MMA by taking a knee to the face while trying to bum rush or tackle their opponent

Even if you don't learn to kick you better learn how to defend against them -- the average guy on the street trying to pose like tyson would have his legs easily broken by a trained kickboxer's low kicks

It just sounds like you didn't want to fight that's all. There's nothing wrong with that. Your opponent didn't want to either. If he did he would have thrown some punches and not walked off because someone threatened to call the police.

You're also putting unrealistic expectations on what you can do with a single jab and tying your self esteem to how well you think you performed in a street fight. You're more than that. You're not the outcome of a sordid little incident in the street. That's not how you define yourself.

Plus, what makes you think you should be a good street fighter? Boxing isn't particular suited to it and you don't have any experience. Tyson didn't have any joy against Mitch Green when he tried to box him on the street. He had to use rough house tactics to get the job done, and he's Mike ****in' Tyson!

Boxing isn't street fighting and you jabbed him because on the level where it matters you didn't want to fight. You care what people will think about you and want to present yourself as a decent human being. You weren't committed to being the kind of w*nker that makes a tw*t of yourself by fighting in the street. That's admirable. You should commend yourself, not berate yourself.

When you fight in a ring you don't have to contend with those thoughts, when you fight in the street you do. It takes a little experience to suppress your decency and not be concerned about the thoughts of onlookers. That's not an admirable trait.

Your a ****in nerd!

The guy who fantasizes about power bombing the dude who started this thread about doubting his boxing is calling me a nerd?
