Did Artem just answer the "Who would win a street fight" Question?

[TheCell8]

It was a relatively even matchup going in.

Artem has a losing record in MMA(13-15)

Paulie is past his past prime but was a 2 division world champ.

Both are in their 30s. Yet Artem pulled out the win.

Boxers are not real fighters. They're sportsman.

If you put in a hockey goon in there, I guarantee he'd beat up any boxer they put in front of him. Boxers don't fair well in street fights.

Most definitely.

Paulie is an ex-world champion and Artem is a BELOW AVERAGE MMA fighter.

Any decent MMA fighter would of knocked Paulie out in the clinch.

Only the most biased boxing fans would give a street fight match-up to a boxer vs an MMA fighter.

Nah you can't compare. Mike Tyson would clean out any boxer or MMA fighter in a street fight.

Artem is the equivalent of a hockey goon. He would be someone you would hire as a body guard in the Russian mafia.

Those guys win in street fights every time over the fighters who use "shoulder rolls".

[Southpawology]

and now it's been settled.

I guess. If a 14-15 MMA fighter and a 40yr old shot boxer is settling it than yea alright.

Who's to say a boxer is incompetent with his hands out of the ring ???

Streetfighter has nothing to lose
A pro engaging in street nonsense has everything to lose.

Streetfighter will go all out while pro will try and swerve....even though they know they can beat that ass.

Or maybe not.
I'd bet on Mike Tyson vs killing a street thug.

The art doesn't make the fighter......the fighter makes the fighter.


MOST pro boxers arent used to real fighting is correct bc they are paid to obey rules ,that doesn't mean they wont win and blast you out with a punch. the same applies to an MMA guy who may not be efficient in outside set rules off wrestling mats...etc.

In the end its who knows how to fight outside any rules or referees that has an advantage if they are also COMPETENT trained fighters.

Ive seen pro fighters dropped ( even been involved ) outside the ring, but in the end the smart fighter will win most of the time ,sometimes the tougher one and sometimes the lucky one,but the guy who knows and is ABLE to apply a technique or strike and end a fight the fastest Usually wins.
