boxing and street fighting

[LoftyDog]

Will boxing help in a street fight, yes. Is it the best thing or the only thing that could help, no. Theres definatly less of a chance of someone fighting you if they know you box. If they don't know you then theres no deterrent, and fighting isn't always avoidable. You just got to be carefull because before you know it you could be outnumbered or have a knife pulled on you or something. One bad thing is because boxers dont have to worry about certain things, like being kicked in the balls, your not trainned to defend against it, so it could really suck for you if that happends.

The simple way to answer ur question is: r u more capable of handling ur self now after years of boxing or before u started boxing.

People can say what they want...but someone with experience in the ring will always beat someone on the street with less fighting experience.

fighting experience or ring experiance? I agree that a boxer would take out someone who doesnt fight at all in a street fight, but what about an experianced street fighter vs a boxer. You never know what the other guy knows.

I mean a boxer vs. someone with no fighting experience in the streets.

Of course an experienced street fighter will beat an experienced boxer.

Hell mutha****en no! I'll tell you a story about me. I was in 4 fights last year. I fought and beat all four of the fools trying to start **** with me. I made them bleed out the nose and everything. Then my friend, who boxes, brought some gloves to school and wanted to fight me. So I said yea, we fought and I got my ass handed to me!!! He gave me a swollen bloody lip, and a bruised nose, IN ONE ROUND FOR 4 MINUTES!!! He kept hitting me clean with powershots and I barely hit him like what, four times. I missed and missed and he just pounded me away. So I joined a boxing gym, just cuz I like boxing, and 6 months later I got in another streetfight and brutally kicked this kids ass. He had beat up like two kids before me, then he tried **** with me, so we fought, he didn't land one punch on me, I knock him down like on my fourth punch, ran and kicked him in the face and punched him on the head while he was down, and I pulled off and told him to get up, he got up and I was about to swing again and he told me "NO NO NO!! I'm sorry man, i'm sorry, lets be cool" so he stuck his hand out to me and I slapped it away and told him to stop talking ****. He bent over and spit out blood for like 3 minutes. His mouth was bleeding, his lip was fat and cut, his eye was black, and he was scared. Now a while later my friends are boxing, they do everyday behind school, some gangster kid challenged me, and he has streetfight experience, he's a gangster, so the first round starts and he's just swinging like Mayorga, but he's missing me and I'm blocking all his shots, then he pulls back his right hand, I see it coming, so I block his huge punch, and counter with a huge right hand and he goes stumbling backwards, then I just slaughtered him until my friend said enough. Boxing gave me speed, power (as I now know how to concentrate my power for the most devastating blow), and reflixes in the sense of both being able to move a lot, and seeing punches coming. So When you say a streetfighter would beat up a boxer, you're wrong. Me and my friend that boxed, the one that before I boxed kicked my ass, are fighting in two weeks, I wonder if my boxing skillz will be better against him.

LONG ASS STORY, READ IT OR DONT! BUT BOXER > STREETFIGHTER. ALWAYS!
