check it, its ya boy Twofive and I got something to say...
I know MMA vs. Boxing threads are redundant. Especially in a forum where there are more fans of one sport than other. There is truly no objective discussion in a situation like this. So I will try to offer my best objective perspective about THIS aspect of the MMA vs. Boxing debate as a hardcore boxing fan.
We've all been in fights (except that one poster who said a street fight was just like an actual boxing match and because of that Floyd would destroy Manny in a street fight). Through out the majority of my life living in Houston, Mid and South Texas, Mexico, I SELDOM ever took part in a one on one street fight. SELDOM. The majority of the STREET fights Ive been in have involved 3 or more people. Why? Because when you're out and about, you're with a group. One dude talks ****, another responds, everyone gets hyped, someone throws a punch and all hell breaks lose. It was like that in school, too. Now, you have to ask yourself. Where are you most likely to be in a street fight?
Once you become of drinking age, the majority of you who actually have a life outside of boxingscene and the internet go out to clubs and bars. Tell me how many one on one situations you've been in there? What world do you live in where some **** pops off and everyone makes a circle and you're solo with homeboy? NO WORLD.
How is this pertinent to the topic?
When you're in an environment where there are multiple people engaging in a brawl, are you REALLY going to put someone in a triangle choke? are you REALLY going to try to do an ARMBAR on someone? If motha****ers are BRAWLING all around you? ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO TRY TO GROUND POUND? WRESTLE ON THE FLOOR? NO! you'll get your **** KICKED IN by the friends of the guy you're trying to make tap out.
Grappling, Brazilian Jujitsu, wrestling is almost useless in a TYPICAL, AVERAGE, REAL LIFE street fight situation. The fact of the matter is, the fastest way to a KO, the fastest way to hurt someone is with a PUNCH
I would rather be in a group of BOXERS in downtown Austin than a group of MMA fighters because Boxers are more effective at striking then an MMA fighter is. They can end the fight faster.
tell me how a ****en triangle choke would be helpful in this situation?
I mean, cmon, you guys have seen the examples..

But if I wanna be real about it? Real real? Kickboxing > Boxing in a streetfight situation
