Wrong! All the boxing skills in the world won't do shit for you if you can't stay on your feet.
he was saying streetfight..... changes that you get in a streetfight with a capable fighter are slim...
boxing skills are very, very important!!!
to get you to the ground, a dude has to get near you... right in the strikezone...
i train mma, jiu jitsu, and muay thai and boxing.. boxing is by far the most difficult and very important.
even in mma! if i could choose 2 sports it would be boxing mixed with wrestling, gets you very far in mma...
a jiu jitsu guy has a very tough time getting people to the ground, once there though it is lights out...
a wrestler stays on his feet very very well! combine that with lightning fast striking and hard punches.... = ko machine....
a fight always starts standing!
mma would be far more exciting without the endless rolling around imo.
should be a rule max 1 minute of rolling.....
not applied when a guy delivers decent ground and pound off course...
just endless , dumbass rolling...or pushing a dude against the cage for minutes.... = boring...
