Street Fight with a Boxer, Bad Idea?

Would a boxer always win in a street fight against a normal person? The fight will instantly be over if a boxer lands the first punch in a street fight. You do not need to hit someone hard; you just need to hit them correctly at the right place and time, and then you can knock them out with one punch.

Muay Thai has one weakness over boxing. Boxing teaches footwork, bobbing and weaving to evade. Muay Thai is all out destruction, in a street fight anything goes. Muay Thai doesn’t focus on physical and fitness as much as boxing does, while their moves are harder and takes more energy to perform. An expert Muay Thai fighter will probably beat an expert boxer majority of the time, but if it’s a street fight between average practitioners it really depends on the fitness of each.

I'm not a boxer and I think it is one of the best if not the best.

[@syrai2144]

@@charlesK12960 In a street fight scenario, both boxing and Muay Thai offer significant advantages, but their effectiveness depends on various factors. Here's a breakdown: **Superficial Answer:** Muay Thai is likely the better option for street defense due to its more comprehensive arsenal of strikes-punches, kicks, knees, elbows, and clinch work. Boxing, however, is excellent for quick, powerful hand strikes, footwork, and head movement. **In-Depth Analysis:** **1. Boxing for Self-Defense:** - **Strengths:** - **Footwork and Distance Management:** Boxers are trained to move efficiently, maintaining distance or closing gaps quickly. This is crucial in avoiding strikes in unpredictable street fights. - **Hand Speed and Accuracy:** Boxing develops fast, precise punches, which can be the first line of defense in a fight. A well-placed jab or cross can end an altercation quickly. - **Head Movement and Defensive Maneuvers:** Boxers are adept at slipping punches and staying elusive, which helps avoid damage. - **Limitations:** - **Limited Striking Arsenal:** Boxing only trains punches, which can be limiting if the opponent uses kicks, knees, or grappling. - **Vulnerability to Leg Kicks:** Street fighters who know how to kick can take advantage of a boxer's untrained legs. **2. Muay Thai for Self-Defense:** - **Strengths:** - **Full-Body Striking Arsenal:** Muay Thai fighters are trained to use all their limbs-punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. This versatility allows them to attack from various angles and ranges. - **Elbows and Knees in Close Quarters:** These strikes are devastating in clinch or close-range scenarios, which are common in street fights. A sharp elbow or knee can end a confrontation quickly. - **Clinch and Control:** Muay Thai's clinch work is excellent for controlling an opponent, preventing them from striking, and setting up powerful knee or elbow strikes. - **Leg Kicks:** Muay Thai practitioners are skilled in targeting an opponent’s legs, which can immobilize and incapacitate them early in a fight. - **Limitations:** - **Less Emphasis on Head Movement and Defensive Boxing:** Muay Thai fighters may not have the head movement or footwork that boxers excel in, leaving them open to quick, precise punches. - **Vulnerability in the Clinch if Untrained in Grappling:** A strong grappler could take advantage of a Muay Thai practitioner’s clinch if they don’t know how to defend against takedowns. **Conclusion:** For street self-defense, **Muay Thai** holds an edge due to its wide variety of strikes and ability to handle close-quarters combat. However, **boxing** can be extremely effective in situations where fast, precise punches and superior footwork are required. The ideal approach might involve combining the two, with boxing providing excellent hand skills and footwork, while Muay Thai offers comprehensive striking and clinch control.

Thinking the same. I trained boxing for about 12 years before I transitioned to Muay Thai. Been training that for the last 20 years now. And that is, in my experience, one of the best striking techniques. A push kick or a couple of rapid low kicks to the knee and your opponent is done for. Not to speak of the damage you can do with an elbow if you're close and can't create distance. So many more options in Muay Thai. I've never done any grappling, so on the ground I'm pretty much toast if the other guy knows what he is doing. Did some hard sparring with a BJJ brown belt. That was no fun. 😂🙈

[@oceanpsalm3816]

Lack of head movement, square on stance, lack of evasion and footwork, lack of power in the hands all contribute to muay thai being the weaker option for self defence when compared to boxing. The low kicks, teeps and clinch are useful. Low kicks can do damage and teeps are very good at keeping someone at distance, clinch is good but they can bite you, headbutt you, pull a knife, take you down, i would never get in clinch tbh. I believe strong boxing skills being powerful and fast punches, head movement and evasive footwork is the way to go. I think muay thai whilst it has many weapons is quite overrated @rylter

[@rylter]

@@oceanpsalm3816 I don't know what dojo you trained at. But there is absolutely no lack of footwork and evasion where I trained. Three years in Thailand and the rest here in Sweden. Head movement, depending on your opponent can be dangerous. As I had a long background in boxing before switching to Muay Thai I got in alot of trouble for the "burnt in" boxing head movements. Furthermore there is no lack of power in the hands, you can still use the same rotation and sort of deliver the punch with your whole body in Muay Thai. And if you're an experienced fighter the stance is no issue. I would often switch between orthodox and south paw in both techniques and in a street fight you would surley not go in to the classic Muay Thai stance. I get you're argument. But all I'm saying is that you have a far greater arsenal of things to use if you have a background in Muay Thai. And if you're experienced enough, pretty much any background in any striking will be good. You'll have better reflexes and an eye for what your opponent is doing, how he is standing, where his balance is, where his hands are, how he moves etc. I think your argument is based on what classic Muay Thai looks like and that the fighter would use exactly that. And in that case, I'm with you. Then boxing is superior.

It's essential. A boxer on the ground is ENTIRELY defenseless against anyone who has even the slightest ground fighting experience. It's over immediately. Same with the clinch. If someone who feels comfortable controlling their opponent in a clinch got you, and you have no experience there, you are done. You will eat knees to the body and get thrown to the ground. Same with kicks. If someone is comfortable throwing and checking kicks, and you arent? Done. A single kick will probably decide the fight. Boxing is actually arguably the least important martial art for self defense, because everyone can already inherently punch and defend against punches. However, nobody who hasn't explicitly trained it can handle grappling and kicking. It's something where, if you don't know what you are doing you are immediately in a ultimate disadvantage.

That’s so hard to do tho me personally I get so fucking tunnel visioned when I fight I didn’t notice someone get up and come at me because I was wailing on his friend but idk how to train tunnel vision out because it only happens in real fights

[@falconwings1037]

That's complete nonsese. Fight or flight or adrenal dump takes the body out of the parasympathetic state ( healing and rest) into sympathetic ( stress) Its an evolutionary mechanism that blocks out pain. Takes blood away from non vital functions into vital functions like muscles and vision and brain activity thus allowing you to protect yourself . Anything you train under relaxed conditions won't be available in a real threat. That flash boxing combo you learnt at the gym goes out the window. However... Anything that has been wired neuroplastically into your hardware and nervous system will automatically be available to you in fight or flight. If you are untrained person your automatic attacks from that state that your nervous system will allow could be wild punches, slaps 😂and eye gouges. Even biting. Some people's bodies releases too much adrenal dump and this is mistaken as fear. This causes the person to freeze instead of engage or to flee to survive and this is when it becomes dangerous. Judo is a great martial art because it negates or cancels out a striker and any overwhelm that they can produce with rough and vicious strikes. You close the gap and throw or roll the opponent down and finish them off with hard strikes on the ground. Judo and wrestling as a primary combined with boxing or muai Thai as a secondary is a great skill set to have.
