Krav maga isn't supposed to be in combat sports. I'm from Israel and while I was in the army we trained Krav Maga. It includes groin strikes, eye gouging, strikes with a rifle etc.

[@katze97]

I am also a Krav practitioner. Krav Maga strategy is never to fight someone at their strength. Don't box with a boxer. He should have done more calf kicks till boxer can’t stand up anymore. Then take his legs out, (or Thai clinch and knee) and ground and pound which he did, but KM guy took risk to box for too long. A better boxer would have close in and Tyson him out.

Such a great comment hahahaha

[@phronesis1642]

Krav Maga is not ment for these fights. KM is ment for real life situations where the goal is not to engage in combat at all until absolutely necessary.Given such a situation a KM fighter would not fight with gloves in a hit and back up style like this one did. It would be more like endless aggression until the initial attacker isnt able to fight or backs up by himself. The KM guy in this video just fights like a kickboxer...

[@choicesii1]

@phronesis1642 and to be quite fair, the boxers delivery system is not that great.

[@jkdwarrior3]

Something not mentioned here is that the boxer is at a huge disadvantage because of the grass and no shoes. You can get a lot more leverage with boxing shoes on a mat. When you train years on mats and transition to grass you realize quickly that you lose a lot of mobility and power. Now all the punches you've trained to take advantage of the torque from your legs and hips are diminished. When you fight on a mat your footwork is faster and you can really dig into the mat to generate force. The Krav guy is probably more used to fighting on different surface areas being that it's self defense oriented. Krav guy would have probably still won but it's worth considering.

[@kultorthedestroyer]

Fair fight is always a matter of perspective.

[@ДимаВеселов-в8и]

Meh, you mostly train on whatever surface the gym has as a floor and in whatever footwear you bring with you only entering ring for sparring and fights, so it's not like boxers don't know how to move& fight outside the ring. It's just that this guy's footwork and torso work are worse than ones of juniors in my fairly average gym

[@Htx_Wero]

They were both at this disadvantage and the Krav Maga guy didn’t use all of the Krav Maga moves he kept it simple and waited for the opening so I’d say he did the boxer a favor by not grabbing him and elbowing his face or kneeing him but that’s just my take you should watch some Krav Maga videos it’s crazy what they can do in such little time

Wow, very good fight. I was legitimately impressed by the Krav Maga guy, who I was certain would be picked apart by the boxer in no time. If he only does Krav, and has no other training experience in other styles/systems, then it's pretty obvious that at whatever Krav Maga school he trains at, they spar regularly, and his instructor definitely incorporates alot of boxing/kickboxing into the Krav curriculum. He definitely did an outstanding job. Well done mate!

As a Krav Maga practitioner, it is appreciated that since they are going to carry out a sports combat, both contenders have similar physical abilities. I'm tired of seeing fights where the MMA representative is clearly an athlete (8h of training and 6 days a week) and the KM representative is the photocopy guy. When the weights and the hours of training are similar, the results of a sporting combat can surprise many people (although Krav Maga is not sports-oriented), and good Krav Maga schools, those that invest time in sparring they can train highly skilled fighters.

[@letsdothis9063]

Back in the day, I went from shotakan to kickboxing. This was right around the time that jiu jitsu was getting popular. We didn't have a lot of real wrestlers in my area (no wrestling programs at schools in my state). I did meet some really talented wrestlers in college. Most of the good ones seemed to be from the mid-west. I got away with a lot, just by learning to sprawl. I stuffed a lot of takedowns, and was able to stay on my feet with just a sprawl. When they did manage to get their hands on me, it wasn't good. I have definitely been ragdolled and twisted. But yeah, takedown and ground defense is a must for a striker.

[@redshankyman4181]

​@@letsdothis9063haha, I also went Shotokan to kickboxing. The thing is I knew what my weaknesses were as a striker, so I took wrestling classes for a while. I was never very good at winning wrestling bouts, but I knew how to escape grapples and bad positions better than anyone. I'm now looking to see if I can actually improve my groundwork by taking up Jiu Jitsu. Karate is still my core, but if I mess up and get to the ground I want to learn how to do more than just escape.

As a krav maga practitioner. Fighting a boxer with boxing technique is hopeless since he has more experience in boxing. So if krav maga wants to win he could have knocked boxer out at first round by first delivering a few punches and then finisher with a roundhouse kick to thigh or as the boxer is trying to punch him and he's able to read the path of his punches he could punch once and fake another unch then use double leg takedown and an arm bar would be enough to make his punches slow and weak or he would tap out because of pain

Pretty much the essence of Krav is to knee to the groin and headbutt with cheeky elbows eye gouging. There are no rules. It is for life-threatening situations, not entertainment, which is why it is not allowed in entertainment sports like MMA. I do not even know why this is happening tbh

LOL. If you want to see a really good predominantly boxer/ju-jitsu leg-kicker, check out one of Nate Diaz's most recent fights, I forget which one, but he uses a punishing leg-kick follow-up with some boxing combos.

The guy without the shirt may be kraver, but he is not using krav maga. What I mean is that this is not Krav vs Kick Boxer. Street fight (and Krav Maga and other combat techniques) is not about who is more skilled with jabs and round kicks or Jiu-Jitsu style tricks, it is about who causes severe injury and trauma first.

Was the Krav Maga practicioner allowed to do everything he learned? Like knee kicks into groin and balls? Using ellbows? Grappling? Or was he just allowed fist punches and kicks, which is max. 20% of all Krav Maga skills...he might have ended the story much faster otherwise😂

[@Guardian179]

Probably pretty standard MMA rules. So elbows, knees, grappling all fine, but nothing to the eyes, throat, back of the head, or groin. Still confused why he stood up and kickboxed with him most of the fight though. Lots of trading punches, and that's not something I'd be keen to do if I knew I was fighting a boxer. If he'd have gone in for a solid single leg or clinched up and thrown some knees, things could have been much different, as I don't know if the boxer really had an answer for it.

[@kellymontgomery1293]

were takedowns not allowed? b/c once it went to the ground it was over

[@danielburgess7785]

Someone finally remembered he had more weapons than just fists.

[@BLAKELYTHEWARRIORMMA]

Those are the best weapons.

I’d love to see Tyson spar someone just like this. How quick he can win without giant gloves.

[@hozza0411]

Tyson would get whooped so bad.

[@boborax1460]

current tyson probably yes ,but I dont think prime tyson would get whooped

[@kutykutyka]

@@hozza0411 The big puffy gloves only soften a punch, so if Tyson could easily deliver a knockout with those pillows, just imagine the power on a chin with a smaller glove. I'm quite confident that even today he could take out most intermediate fighters with a jab. Don't forget that with his neck being the same width as his whole head he could, can take a punch too, not just give.

Esse sem camisa é KravMaga? Certeza?

[@Moribunny]

As an Israeli I always sort of root for Krav Maga, but honestly I was betting on the boxer and sort of surprised the KM guy won. Why? Well, ppl forget KM is not a competitive sport, its sole purpose is to end real world melee as quickly as possible (whether by escape or deescalation or severely injuring an attacker) and the moment you are in a ring with rules in place, you're already out of your element. The KM guy won because he had some training in leg kicks, takedowns and ground work. But you don't necessarily have to be good at any of those, or even taking or throwing punches to be a good KM practitioner. You're trained to break fingers to get out of grapples, then gouge eyes to end the fight. It's not a sport, and with sporting rules you're crippled or you're on your own relying on how good of a kickboxer or grappler you are.

[@HenryTroncoso]

where is the Krava Maga? it is MMA, but the guy is a great fighter, congratulations

[@cldavis33]

Boxer should have absolutely most definitely used his great hands and distance control to land body shots.

[@eddiesell8577]

In all honesty, a groin strike which is permitted in Krav Maga would have finished this.

[@Duck_Dodgers]

You'll find in life or death situations that groin shot ain't as great as people think.

[@Rabenmensch]

Funny how krav maga only works if u DONT use it😂😂😂

[@duffpaddy3996]

KM isn't the kind of 'protected' form like muay thai or BJJ is where you have some specific requirements to call yourself "instructor". You or me could open up a Krav Maga training center tomorrow without knowing more than how to spell the name. The fact that a lot of wannabes sell bullshido that way is the reason there's so many people getting their rears kicked.

[@grayscarab5784]

He did use krav maga here, krav maga has striking and grappling techniques from other martial arts. There is no such thing as a krav maga technique only krav maga principles. Every technique he used is part of every krav maga schools curriculum

[@thomasbrook8129]

I was very impressed by both guys alnough felt the grav maga guy take down boxer 🥊 much earlier which does at end.

[@02337755]

This was a "Boxer"? Man had ZERO head movement, Not good footwork....

[@louduva9849]

Right. The other guy was the better boxer, even.

This is why love both Boxing & Kra Maga , in my line of work it’s great to be diverse in self defense

There aren't any Krav maga there, Also any boxing. That is mma ( poor reduction of an intent of martial arts )

No they say black guy is the boxer, he hasnt seen any kick in his life obviously. Or beginner level and his boxing is no more than 5 months either i believe. At least i was at his level of boxing after 5 months of kickboxing, my kicks have been always better than my boxing tho.

[@angelmanfredy]

@@yagzyalcntas553 leg kick. Jumping knee. Hands held like a kickboxer rather than a kickboxer. Naw. Not a great kickboxer or boxer but he’s no pure boxer.

He is not a boxer. Do not discredit boxing by calling anyone who improvises a boxer. The only boxer who was on the show is the one they called "Pro boxer", and we all know how his fights ended.

[@VaGdude]

Exactly this kid is a total noob ,It’s debatable if he ever trained in boxing as it’s OBVIOUS(no footwork keeping his guard and hands low ,no head movement and rolls )and the list goes on….

[@lyonwillems8924]

Nice to see that the boxer turned his foot a bit when he threw that last leg kick so i think it isn't his first time kicking

[@well-blazeredman6187]

Interesting experiment. For your next video, may I suggest a Krav Maga expert vs your average New York shop-lifter.

Nice mixed match, well done!

Surprised it took so long for a knock out with these guys brawling like this damn good fight lol
