to all boxers here: do you all follow the traditional boxing methods?

What he said^

Input a base into your fighting, then work off of it.

Never do anything untraditionally.

Unless it's that thing you would do with a lady friend.

I think a smart and skilled boxer will still beat the **** out of anyone that steps into the ring and starts swinging like a gorilla.

If you want to box, learn the skills needed to do so and box (train).

If you want to fight, hit the streets.

Or just enter the MMA.

Recently they just let anyone off the street enter.

Lol, so boxers are born into boxing cribs?

Kimbo [is a joke] is someone with strength and power which he uses to overcome his enemies which work against some [cans]. He has shown a desire to get better though, so he's trying to learn. Being in the MMA game doesn't mean your good, decent, or anything really. You win or lose, thats it. Your record is dictated for the most part [can be built up as in boxing] by your skill and ability. If he loses he won't be in a major organization, if he wins they will keep him.

boxing is great for the street, the refles and power are automatic. and you wont tire like the other guy. if you are worried about being taken down, just practise with a friend trying to defend takedowns. if you have too, bite the hell out of them and gouge the eyes. of course he might reciprocate. most times fights are determined in one minute or less anyway especially against a novice
