Is boxing underrated?

I found this one from Houston. Homer's other videos are in the ring

Damn, that's what it's like when you know how to throw them dubs! Homer made all three of those cats leak!

Unless you are a child or live among human trash, there probably isn't much need to pick between boxing and martial arts based on the potential outcome of an imaginary street fight (although it may be an amusing debate). Just do whichever one looks fun to you and the one for which you can best access quality facilities and teachers. I've found boxing to be an amazing full body workout - improves stamina, coordination, muscle tone and strength. But I expect you can have a similar experience with a good teacher in most of the martial arts. I'm less inclined to try one of the grappling arts just because there seems more scope for injury with falls and throws than kicks and punches but probably not a big issue if you have a good teacher and are in reasonable shape.

You know who NEVER says boxing is overrated? Guys who have actually fought. It's always keyboard warriors or bjj blue belts who are sure boxing isn't great.

If you're in the streets, it's too easy to lose your footing when throwing a kick. Is the ground slippery? Is there a piece of cement missing from the sidewalk? Is there a stray beer bottle or piece of slippery dog shit? Good luck if you throw a kick.

Again, guys who have actually been in street fights know: NEVER lose your footing, and never go to the ground, because the guy may have buddies about to kick you in the head.

Most guys simply couldn't hang in a real boxing gym. IN the MMA gyms where you're paying 100-200 a month, you don't have the street youths. You don't get tough training with spoiled white kids.

Every time I watch this clip (I've seen it 3 or 4 times). I always go "Why the fuck would you hit some random person, wtf is wrong with you?"

I know there is that Knockout game that has seriously hurt some people.

Some people just have terrible decision making and impulse control.

Im always impressed by the way that guy jumps into action.

He doesnt hesitate, he starts punching right away.

And it ends as it started, he goes calmly, grab her by the hand and off he goes.
