Tommy Carruthers vs. prime Tank Abbott, No Rules Fight, anything goes, who wins?

Street fighting obviously holds some unknowns but I honestly wouldn't bet on those unknowns versus a trained fighter.

Fighters try to mimic real situations but the only thing that can get them that knowledge is experience. Experience of a full blown punch, hurt wrist, swollen eyes, being hurt, getting white flashes etc

 

This is wishful thinking at its finest. Any trained athlete will resign themself to the inevitability to being hit and hurt. Otherwise as soon as it happens, the lack of experience of being in that situation will see you lose that fight almost certainly and incredibly quickly.

If Floyd gets hit then everyone is.

 

That was my point.....for those who are skilled in any art form....training can only keep the technique sharp.... But being "Sharp" with technique doens't always equate to being sharp in an actual fight. Being able to have split second timing, reflexes and the ability to instincually fight can only be harnest and honed when sparring or competiting in actual fights. No one should think that Fighting and then learning a form of fighting will see that as an equation for a successful fighting career. That is completely false.

Of course knowing, learning, developing and perfecting ones craft is the best foundation for a successful fighitn career. I wish Tommy would fight in MMA and I think he'd be successful if he deceided to do so....but with that said he'd have to adapt his own fighting technique and implement other successful techniques in order to be competitive. He couldn't just come in to the MMA realm with just his JKD. Just like James Toney can't just come in to the UFC facing a guy like Randy with just his elite level boxing skills.

 

It's an example however Floyd solely has to concentrated on punches and gets hit so what do you think the odds become when we allow any form of fighting. It's simple maths.

It's not about getting hit if you don't have to. It's a man with 2 arms, 2 legs, skills and a will to win just like you.

 

Canibus, stop chewing on men's foreskins. didnt your mama tell you its bad for ya. JKD is bull ****. it is possible for an individual that works hard and has will and genetic potential to enter a more or less crappy style and still be a good fighter. that would be a case of someone overcoming the style. unfortunately they have to work extremely hard to do so. there are better styles, i.e. realistic and based on principles that fit the real world, and there are style that are unrealistic. as a rule the proof is in the pudding, and JKD, is a rather shitty pudding. I never said Tank was good, but he was effective within certain parameters, he did something Lee and the other JKD pantywaists, like Canbibus the foreskin chewer, and that is fight. never known an individual that talked **** the way CaniPUS does to be worth ****. he knows if anyone can fight or not and challenges people who would whip his ass to go to New York. What is the name of the gay bar again, foreskin chomper?

 

And CaniPUS, if your Gayfu has to wait until you are fully developed before he goes into MMA and shows us all how it is done he has given himself a lot of time to avoid having to prove it huh?

 

Tank would kill him!!

 

didnt gene lebell say about bruce lee when asked who would win a fight between them, that bruce, a close personal friend remember, was a tremendously gifted athlete and had incredible skills...but at the end of the day, he weighs ten stone and i WILL catch him......

 

JKD can be adjusted to fall within the rules of MMA. Of course JKD is a fighting style that is based on hitting key areas, vunerable areas like joints, pressure points and unprotected vital organs to be as efficent as possibly in controling a violent situation.

But if an Expert wanted to fight in MMA and utilize the best JKD has to offer in a Sactioned MMA fight they could. Why they don't I have no idea....one exper in Eric P. did and he didn't pretty well. But others who have followed in the foot steps of Eric havn't had nearly the same success.

I'd be interested in seeing JKD on the map like it should be....but the proof would have to be validated by performance in actual competition where seeing would be believing.

 

Honestly go down to an MMA gym. Sign a waver and have a NHB fight with an experienced MMA fighter. See how you get on.

Tape it please.
