How Most of Us would Do against a Pro Fighter

500 year old Whitaker beat up some guys on this show, it was great

 

thats how u would do, not me.

 

I'd do an old pro (no homo)

 

Dude you need to check out a boxing gym. I've seen a bantamweight little 5'3" journeyman with a losing record bust up and brutally ko not just avg joes, but college football players and guys outweighing him by 100 pounds. He's retired now, but walks around 120-125. I learned alot from that guy. He could barely bench 100lbs, but his technique and speed give alot of pop to his punches. And the funny thing is he has a glassy jaw, but not against an avg joe he doesnt.

 

I think I'd matchup well versus Chad Dawson. Would be a close fight but he'd eak out the decison.

 

an avg joe who never boxed would freak the hell out as soon as a punch has landed.

 

Yea I think that is the biggest shock is what it feels like to get hit. I've seen plenty of non-contact martial artists freak out the first time they get actually hit when doing contact sparing for the first time. All that training goes out the door and they start flailing as the primal fight or flight kicks in.

 

Yea i remember when i first started boxing and as soon as i got tagged i would freeze for a sec, whenever anyone throws a shot i would be far far away with my arms fully extended. i didn't wanna get tag at all but after a few months and coach forcing me to fight for multiple 4 min rounds and tired as hell, got used to getting tagged and lost the big fear of getting hit and it took me about 6 months and i was weaving and bobbing into close range to put some damage on my opponent.

Learning how to box has changed my life and gave me a lot of confidence. Plus i realize a person who is not train stood almost zero chance against someone who is trained.

 

Exactly. Boxing is a lot more then learning to punch. All of the top fighters have been putting in a lot of rounds over the years and have seen it all. To me a big part of boxing is being able to see the punches coming at you, anticipating. As soon as an opponent moves his shoulder you already know what he's trying to do before it happens, what type of punch is coming. Obviously way easier said then done and that is what seperates the elite defence specialists and the rest of the pack.

 

Hey, isnt that the ref that did the khan/petterson fight???
"Let's throw some thunda!!!"

 

True Good post:good

 

calloway is not little and he has some skill. i'd rather face someone smaller like gatti (rip). easier to keep at a distance and he ain't landing them lead hooks on a guy like me.

 

good stuff

 

he was all of about 150lbs and those dudes were huge! he busted them up!!! one of them got a lucky shot and busted his mouth...he turned it on after that.
