Boxing is will not help you in a street fight.

[KostyaTszyu44]

of course a boxer has an excellent chance in a streetfight

most people, even guys who constantly fight on the streets still cant take a punch as well as a boxer can

our punches would be harder,faster, waaay more accurate,

we're in better condition

and we're not bound rules in the street, most boxer know how to foul and pull dirty tricks anyways if needed, and as for martial arts guys, kicking does **** all in a streetfight unless you are kicking a guy on the ground

and a punch is easier and faster to land than a wrestling move

and plus there are lots of things you cant predict in street fights, like if people break it up....

i know at my school people will break it up if it goes on the ground and get the dudes to fight with their hands standing up, you look like a ****wit if you try and wrestle someone

who said the boxer is gonna try to box someone in a street fight

[Danny Gunz]

A person whos boxed to an extent will find street fights easier than a person whos NEVER trained a martial arts in there life. Generally its true, a good street fighter/mma fighter will destroy a good boxer as boxers can't use feet, can't use heads, elbows etc and have to follow simple rules.

people always say that but i just say ok if anything goes in a streetfight when the kid takes you to the ground you can just knee him in the balls or headbutt his face or gouge his eyes.

Just cause someone knows how to wrestle on the ground doesnt mean he is gonna win any street fight

That someone who is extremely ardbody and gets in bar brawls and streetfights on a regular basis is obviously going to be used to taking bare knuckle punches and will probably be more likely to use dirty fighting techniques that will leave a man chewing pavement.

Not true. A boxer could easily do these 'dirty' tactics and have the advantage of boxing skills too. people seem to think that a brawler has some kinda special power in a streetfight over a boxer who is somehow still bound to the Queenbury Rules. Not true!

A bodyshot can easily be redirected to the groin, and once they are down a Steven Gerrard ping to the head is well in order. i seen so called 'hard brawlers' get dealt with a well timed jab, just like that kung fu guy gets dealt with in that vid. if any other form of fighting was better than boxing, then people are not dumb and boxing would not be numero uno.

so called "streetfighters" cant really fight at all, they only look good against other streetfighters, a decent boxer would embarass them unless its two on one or hit from behind etc

I've been around a couple of 'hard men' and one thing I've noticed is that these guys don't actually train in anything, they're just quite strong and have a fighting mentality. I sometimes wonder how they'd do against someone trained in boxing or whatever. Another thing you have to consider is mentality though. Some of these 'hard men' are used to fighting real fights from time to time, whereas a gym or dojo fighter may or may not have the sort of mentality needed in that situation.

someone said knuckles are the hardest part of the had - wrong! u can break your knuckles on a persons face. the palm is the way to go for face strikes.

but, sticking to the subject, i would put my money more times than not on a boxer or martial artists winning a one on one fight. especially martial artists who train to **** people up and practice contact sparring - which is what i do.

i think, as long as a boxer doesn't only think in terms of boxing as a sport, then he would hold his own for sure.

if you are saying that boxing is the top form of fighting, get out more often!

DISAGREE. Honestly I think you posted this in order to get points.

Non boxers always think that a boxer can win any street fight. This is bull**** because boxing is a controlled sport with rules as for street fighting anything goes. Do you boxers agree with me?

You're wrong. Based off you comment you dont know much about fighting.

Boxing is a controlled sport when you have a referee and judges scoring you based off of what you do. Besides that the people watching if any. And your on a Ring. The two boxers are mentally and physically prepared prior to the fight. SO, they know prior and during the fight, the RULES..

But if a fight breaks out in anywhere, do you really think that boxer is going to care about rules???!!! Or is he going to tear the other guy up in 15 seconds or less with an endless supply of combinations and Kicks and knees and elbows. The boxer will probably go in to survival mode. COMMON SENSE.

BE REAL BE REAL.

Neither Boxing, Muay Thai or MMA is anywhere near the same as a streetfight

Look at the rules common in all these sports, no eye gouges, no strikes to back of the head, no groin shots. no kicks to downed opponent. These make all the difference in a street fight.

But to say boxing won't help you in a streetfight is ******. I know it's helped me. I've knocked off a few guys when pushed in streetfights

Just the engrained reflex of putting your hands up can save your life in a streetfight. I once had a bottle thrown at me (by accident actually, this girl was larking around and it slipped form her hand) and my reflex of putting my arms up meant the bottle hit my forearms and shattered harmlessly rather than breaking on my face !

My instructor is also one of our area's leading security experts and many guys in our gym work security so we do a lot of reality based training as well

but remember this

NO AMOUNT OF TRAINING WILL GUARANTEE YOU VICTORY IN A STREETFIGHT

way too many variables, friends, hidden weapons, lucky shots etc
