![]() | I'm a smaller guy, so I'd have more of a quick snappy jab, to guage distance and to stun him (if for a second). Then from there move into the next rythem of whatever is available. |

![]() ![]() ![]() | In a street fight do you think it will be long enough for someone to learn to respect your jab. In boxing, I can see it working, the guy would have to watch for your jab or be set up for any number of combinations, plus getting jabbed isnt all that fun. But in a street fight, although I think the power jab woudl probably be the best, I think you would really only use one, then close the distance. I really dont think there would be time to establish the jab and make him respect it.

![]() ![]() ![]() | Whichever lands? Depends on the situation I guess, if they are covering the front of their face the hook, if they block the sides elbows, Id probably go with elbows though.

![]() | Then again, if they are covering the sides why not just jab and cross and uppercut? If they cover the front I think elbows would be more effective than if they covered the sides. But there is more than one tool for this job, so it's all a possibility. |

If its timed to where the guy is rushing in and he meets your jab, the fight could be over quick. | |

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | My jab is garbage. Don't get me wrong, I've put it out there and had more than one guy walk straight into it but if I throw a jab it's usually to measure, distract or set up something else...
