    Now I don't want to get banned or anything. But I'm more just curious as an infighter on how I would be able to dodge, block uppercuts in any type of way in a street fight. Please tell me everything you can do, and would slipping an uppercut be safe?

    There's a "Boxing Training" sub-forum where people go for advice.

    But the best piece of advice you can probably receive right now is "stop getting (or looking to get) into street fights".

    If you want to go to a gym and learn to box, that's great. Whether for self-defense, fitness, or even if you have ambitions to try and make money at it. But fighting for free? Untrained? Out in the wild? With no rules, ref, coaches, anything? That's a very bad idea, unless injuries and/or jail sound fun.

    Don't fight in the street is the only correct answer.

    Look, putting everything else aside, you never want anyone to be able to say they saw you close your hand into a fist and strike another person with it. Whatever the scenario or evidence you cannot trust police not to charge you.
    And more importantly, what if you land a good one, KO the guy and he cracks his head open on the pavement? The consequences can be serious, as in deadly. You don't want to live with that.

    If you are trying to "dodge uppercuts" in a 'street fight' instead of kicking his knees to hell or choking the MF out with the hooks in, you are doing something wrong.

    Also a nice punt to the ballsack does wonders in calming the uppercutters down.

    I've been lucky so far I guess ;)

    That said, anybody who actually trains boxing already has a huge advantage over your average citizen.

    Billy big balls wants everyone to know that he's proper hard because he gets into street fights and is a gritty inside fighter. And I'm the King of England lol.

    Infighting is boxing technique, or style or whatever, you dont use it in street fights

    Street fights are fast, they end quickly, it aint about tecnique

    Power, explosive power, and maybe fearlessnes to be able to take a punch

    Also luck is heavy factor, you can KO somebody and then get life for killing them with bad punch to the arcade

    If I would say recognize the opponet would use uppercuts on me, I would take him down and choke him

    Crossguard. Alternatively enter grappling and parry/catch it on the arms inside. Behind high guard sway to the side I guess.

    Absolutely this. You have to be lucky.

    Lucky that the guy isn't a Muay Thai or boxing instructor out for a pint.

    Lucky that he doesn't have a knife or brass knuckles on him.

    Lucky that he doesn't have a gun.

    Lucky that he doesn't have a couple of mates just around the corner, one of whom is 6'8

    Yeah ... I can't recommend being lucky, enough.

    I don't know...I have a homeboy that would bob and weave in fights in prison. But that might be different than street fights, lol.
