Boxing useless in a Bar Brawl?

[j]

dr filth, obviously a bar room isn't a boxing ring. what i meant is that boxers aren't afraid to get hit and train to hit. this, combined with simple streetwisdom, can make a dangerous streetfighter.

i certainly didn't mean bouncing around on your toes and using the pacing that boxing matches use in a street/bar fight.

you should know what i meant.

i wasn't cutting u, i posted that because that's what my buddy said when he was cutting me down, and later i saw he was right. i agreed with what u said, i was just adding my own experience. u fight different in a streetfight than with gloves on in a ring, but the skills u get from boxing will help u beat the **** out of muscle heads in bar

dr filth, no prob, i figured we were on the same page.

i've actually noticed 2 trends from "streetfighters" - meaning guys who have fought a few times without recieving some training - they are either very wild or, interestingly, try to mimic boxers in a sense.

anyone else seem to notice this.

kicks are pretty useless in street/bar fights.

I have used kicks twice in street fights. A spinning back kick, landed flush into the guys gut. A jump kick, right to the face.

i missed the part where someone said kicks are useless in a streetfight.

that person just doesn't know.

whoever thinks that kicks are useless in a streetfight is a complete idiot...i know from experience that kicks can be the best thing you can use. A good boxer can box in a streetfight, but theres a good chance that he will get his ass kicked...when you're fighting someone, you cant just walk up and throw hands at them. you have to read them while you're fighting them and attack where they are'nt expecting it...

when i'm fighting, i like to stick to straight punches and low straight kicks. 9/10 people wont expect you to throw a combo like jab, jab, low kick(below the knees, straight out), cross... i have thrown that combo so many times and people get completely ****ed up from that kick. what you want to try to do is throw a few setup punches with the jabs while you're coming in, and when you have their attention on your hands...you throw that low kick, real fast. they will instinctively look down and leave their face wide open for the KO punch, the cross...street fighting is about incorporating all fighting styles into your attack.

boxing is useful in a streetfight, but if you matched two people equally skilled in boxing, but one of them was a kickboxer too, he would win easy...boxing is'nt **** in a streetfight unless you know how to incorporate it...

Kicking can work in a streetfight but there are problems. Space. The face the kicking distance can be taken away. And the fact that most confrontations start at punching distance.

[FeelTheA-Force]

So a boxer who gets himself in great shape and spends all his time training to throw fast hard punches and gets plenty of experience sparring would be useless against some fat drunk in a pub? Wow. whoever said that must be truly ignorant.

THIS IS THE BEST POST IN THE WHOLE THREAD

there are no problems with space when you use low straight kicks...big fancy high kicks wont do **** for you...
