    Ok, let's say someone is in a street fight and trying to box. His opponent is hard to hit, because he keeps backing up away from the boxer. Now, seeing that there wouldn't be a ring to cut him off, how would you go about closing the distance?


    Btw, I'm not planning to fight someone, but this has always had me curious.

    If all your opponent does is backpedal, after about 30 seconds it becomes clear he is afraid and you can basically declare yourself superior in the situation and walk away saying "you don't want to fight." You could edge him on and counter-he will probably be nervous seeing how ready you are in previously edging toward him aggressively-but it's probably best to just leave it be and say whatever, you don't want to engage and this isn't worth it. It's best not to attack unless someone is invading your space or saying outrageously disrespectful things.

    clinch onto him to prevent him from going back.
     
  4. If he's backing up, walk away. Boxers dont fight in the street unless defending themselves.

    Unless you're planning on street fighting this question is entriely irrelevant. Why the question would even come up makes no sense.

    In a street fight, it's very unlikely that someone would "get on their bike" and try to pot shot you. Even skilled boxers turn into Margarito.

    Well since this is the street it is no rules. So step on his foot and punch him?
