How effective is boxing in a street fight situation?

Simple question, how effective is boxing in a street fight? Please do not say boxing is only good for sport or say that other martial arts are better. I just wanna know if its handy incase you get into a street fight.|||Pretty effective. I have a friend who is a boxer and he has decked a number of people in street fights already (I was there but I get hit a lot). He just knows where and how to punch and when it lands, his enemy will sure feel it because he punches a lot harder than anyone I know.|||It will help but anything goes in a street fight and size and strength matter more in a street fight!


but as far as punching it will help you but boxing is not for a street fight because of the big gloves street fight you can't fight how you fight in a ring! and boxing can only do so much because if you get to the floor is a whole different game.


the best way to be good in a street fight is to have more street fights it's like practice you will get better, before you know it you'll be kicking anybodys azz!|||If you are skilled at boxing.. fight on the balls of your feet {not flat footed so you can't move}..keep your guard up and keep moving ...there is no reason why it wouldn't work in a street fight. It has for me in the past.


But Bruce Lee said " The best way not to get hit is to not be there!" so do not get into that situation.


First use your brains and talk your way out then use your speed and run your way out and {if given no other choice} fight your way out..ie do only as much as it take to make a gap and get the hell out!!


Street fights are stupid dangerous and unpredictable and who says they don't have mates waiting to jump in or a weapon even a gun.


Street fighting will always get someone hurt sometimes even seriously or dead! Avoid it if at all possible!|||Effective? There's nothing BETTER.



I been boxing since I was a teenager, and I grew up pounding the SHT out of anyone who wanted it. You get any good at it you'll cut your opponent to fckin pieces before he even knows what the fck happened, sittin on his *** with his jaw hangin off his face.|||Boxing is very effective in a street fight. If it's a one on one fight. A gang street fight will get you killed by a bullet. But it is in our nature to start throwing punches even if we don't know squat about boxing. In that way knowledge is power.|||To tell you the truth, everytime I got into a street fight the other guy was scared to fight back.


Like they tried fighting but it was nothing.





I think being able to handle a fight calmly is the best technique|||If you are good yes it can be effective, if you think you are good it will get you killed.|||Yes it is. Boxers have stronger punches than average. And their stamina is very good too.
