I am sIck of people saying boxing does not work in a street fight

[C-SHO]

LOL no they do not, if your a drunk party animal then yes cause thats all who you associate yourself with lmfao so obviously all you going to get into is drunk fights. But in the hood/****** whatever you want to call it you can catch a scrap just walking to the corner store/candy lady on a sunday morning. The' What the fuck you looking at" is real out here, and just a bunch of personal beef/homies beef etc can land you into a bunch of fights just hanging out parking lot pimping.

Dont get me wrong alot of fights do happen when people are drunk but that usually in a drunk enviorment not on the streets just hanging out, unless your the drunk that like to start something then im sure you got your ass whooped plenty of times and tried to box just to find out no matter how many times you tried to land the 1,2 you just couldent lol.

Right , lol forget about the drinking alot of street fights happen about drugs , with people that are on drugs.

Ya all those trained professionals who box for a living, I see them go off balance but never you? gimmie a break.

You're seeing them up against other professionals who are forcing their move. Boxing against your average Joe is very useful; most people throw looping punches or load up their body too much before throwing a punch, so it is very easy to tag them.

I think with the advent of MMA people are starting to disrespect boxing more and more. Those same people, who are quick to point out the faults of boxing in a street fight, do not realise the faults of MMA in a street fight: Grappling on concrete, attempting take downs when there is no cage to back your opponent into, punches to the back areas, bites, eye gouges and so on.

I think aspects of boxing work in a street fight, if thats all your bringing to the fight it might not be enough. A combination of different fighting styles is probably a good idea though.Why are you assuming the guy your fighting is an average joe? maybe he has more experience than you?

Because more often than not, someone will end up fighting the average Joe, what with him being the average.

More often that not, simply being able to throw your punch straighter than your opponent will be enough in a straight fight because people have incredibly poor technique. You run into someone skilled, things usually settle when you both realise there is no easy opening.

Lol I getting the idea where you live normal non drug addicts just meet up and fight for fun? Where I live there is usually a financial or respect issue leading to it. Average normal people dont tend to street fight here.

You seem to think average joes are street fighters and technique will beat them all, you couldnt be more wrong but I think its best to just agree to disagree.

In a street fight these dudes only throw punches or want to grab..if you can box and control distance and set your punches up you are a nightmare on these streets and yes people will want to shoot you... throwing punches and being able to dodge and or take them is a gift..people will fear you...**** what these clowns say..if you can box you are a menace in your hood and NO ONE WILL WANT TO FIGHT YOU PERIOD...

No it does not.

If you think it does, fight a good martial artist and prove it.

lol theirs drug addicts here that fight but its drug addicts and their damn drama, lol wtf beef will I have with a crackhead?

We scrap for all kinds of stuff, I personally been in scraps for scrapping someone who was involved in jumping my cousin, jumping my homies etc etc, for people dogging me, got called out when a homie was scrapping in a 1 on 1, scrapped for homies callin a favor, scrapped cause I refused to take my hat LA hat off, scrapped for someone disrespect my family, scrapped for someone disrespecting my race, scrapped for someone not paying up on a bet, scrapped a few drunks cause they just dont let a issue die so I had to lean them, scrapped for a tons of different reason but I never scrapped a crackhead lol.

Like I said what beef will normal person have with a crackhead, like i said unless your a drug dealer wtf are you doing dealing with crackheads.

What drugs have you tried to fight on to make such an observation?

The worst was shrooms, weed is hard to fight on as well. Lol im just saying most fights ive seen or been in usually feature people not in there normal state of mind.
