[QUOTE="Hencredible Casanova, post: 360718, member: 2584"] Many truths here. I took up boxing during college and recreationally in the past year. Almost anyone who does MMA/Boxing will say the best thing to do in real life is try to avoid a scrap. Discipline is sacrosanct and only fucking idiots look for problems. That said, solid footwork and defense is VERY underestimated. IMO, throwing a punch is the easiest aspect of boxing. Even if an opponent is more athletic/explosive than you, you can use deft footwork and leverage their momentum against them. This is a cool video of how simple head movements can help you win a street fight. [MEDIA=youtube]qSX0PCQXiO4[/MEDIA] And for more complex defense hacks, just check out this clip of Mayweather's tricks. The dude's defensive arsenal is insane (high guard, shoulder roll, forearm clinch, etc). It's easy to miss this stuff when watching a fight in real time but, as you can see, there's a lot of technique involved. [MEDIA=youtube]imwGeX1SRFk[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
