Can a really great street fighter beat a good pro-boxer?

You forgot about divine intervention. Thats the best way I can explain it. I have been kicked, piped, bottled in the back of the head so many times but almost always with very little injury. Thank the Lord for he is good!

 

Its a Turkish amatuer heavyweight (name I do not know).

The video shows what a boxer can do in a street fight, Im suprised actually to read this thread and wasnt going to comment but I cant resist any longer.

Boxing is great training for the street- its simple, economic and trains someone to be conditioned, respond immediately, and yes-take a shot and return.

Only MMA type training or Muay Thai compares IMO.

 

Very true. Its surprising how fluidly some can slam sandwich a head or dislocate a shoulder. Then there are adrenalin adaptions. Lenox lewis once said "its good for a boxer to stay out of street fights because once they go there its much harder to get any adrenalin advantages in the ring". The wrong kind of adrenalin rush can also have several disadvantages in the ring such has sapping long-term energy or making one forget offence.

 

Howd you think they discovered Pacquiao?

 

Was a street fighter???
He is a small guy but i remember back in the day one of the best fighters around our area was a 5'5" guy not the same build as Pacquiao a little chubbier but he was intense like him and would whoop some ass.
No one wanted a piece of him all these 6' guys or bigger wouldnt fight him because whenever someone did they would get pummeled. Its funny because this guy is seriously a little bigger than my 12 year old brother. He could fight!

 

Pit says "Say no to street fights kids"

 

Pac was always in trouble as a youngster what better way to exploit his skill. The guy has no basic boxing skills to show for ..go watch his old fights...he still aint got much technical skills now
remember also in the Islands, there aint many 6'0 200lbs guys

 

If trained properly, then I would say yes.

 

I wouldn't want to mess with Lennox Lewis in the streets.

 

Sounds like a bunch of pussies. I hate people that go and stomp someone like that. Wow were tuff... lets all 12 of us stomp one guy and feel like bad asses.

On a lighter note....WTF is a pimp cup.

 

good old fashioned hand to hand combat . pressure point's and dirty fighting.

number one thing is you fight to hurt not win in a street fight that what i was always taught. thing i always found usefull was inshinru style . very effective in demobilizing your enemy.

 

And thats where boxers excel, streetfighters are untrained fighters, boxers are trained fighters, their is a big difference. Once a boxers lands a left hook to the body and a right hand upstairs, it's over.
