I think that would depend on your reflexes, for most people it would be useless.

[Larry the boss]

Boxing is the only sport you need in a street fight because once you are good enough you can end the fight with the first punch you throw

Bingo...that is what lets me know people here can not fight..1 punch from me and that is it, period

Why in the hell do you need to shoulder roll?? just throw an accurate well timed punch and more then likely it it it...even if you do have to use it it is great because it sets up a well timed counter punch

A nd what if you miss , this 1 punch ko shot of yours probably got you off balance.

a trained boxer would not be off balance man..boxing trains you to always be in position to punch and evade punches..

I dont agree with your fist to fist idea, im a little guy 5'7 130 lbs but i throw punches hard and fast. I have never had a guy my own size try and fight me its always 6 foot 180 type guys who are lookin for easy fights and will eat some punches just to try and get close to maul me or try and take me down. Your idea of fist to fist only usually relates to the first 5 or 10 seconds

But ask yourself, when a fight breaks out what is the first thing both fighters do? PUT THEIR GUARD UP RIGHT When you engage in a fight the natural reaction is the use your FIST. Yes when someone see they can't beat you with their fist and if you are too quick for them then YES they will try other things like taking you down. But the good thing about Street Fights, their are no ring or cage so you can be as elusive as you want until the guy you are fighting gets tired and usually the guys who just want to grab are the first ones to get tired.

evading punches doesn't equal evading takedowns. Not close.
