    For me, the best fights are when guys slug it out - and preferably, when somebody hits the canvas, hard. :nod

    However much they BS it, this is why most people are boxing fans.

    Hit and not get hit that much while walking down your opponent and knocking them the **** out.

    it is about defeating an opponent in hand to hand combat using technique, intelligence, and any physical attributes you may have been born with. it is not about avoiding defeat. not getting hit is the ideal way to accomplish that goal, it is not the goal itself.

    It's about winning, beating your opponent.

    If that means coming forward and knocking him out, or moving around defensively outpointing him so be it.

    There's no single way to skin a cat (so to speak).

    Hitting and not getting hit of course, that's the general rule for winning a fight.
