Exactly. There is a reason boxers wear gloves and it is to protect their hands from being broken. CrazyJoe learned this the hard way when he barbarically split open his friends chin and subsequently broke his hand. He bragged about it in earlier posts if anyone is wondering. It is a sport people. Sports have rules and points and referees and judges who make decisions on who "looked" better in the match. A streetfight has none of those and therefore it is imperitive that one would train for that situation accordingly. I for on do not expect to use the "rope-a-dope" against a violent attacker on the street.
