He could have booted one of the guys in the head while he was on the ground and then it would have been an easier 1on1 with the remaining guy.

Still, amusing to say the least!

Yea I noticed that too. My Neuromuscular memory would have just thrown a front kick to the face or a kneww to the head while he was on the ground like that.

[WildWest.]

Yes. The random punch to the head by someone with no formal experience can still hurt a lot and still KO you if hit in the right(wrong) place.

No shit. Dont try to be a smart ass.

It was just an idea. Im not saying i or anyone should do that. And getting punched and kicked in the face for a few seconds is something alot guys can handle, and recover from. I guess some of you are just whimps and have never experianced what its like to be getting hit in the head, hard.

Bareknuckled? When applied by a trained or powerful striker? No, you don't just recover from that. Depends on targeting, but the point is the critical targets really become CRITICAL when the gloves come off.
I've dropped a pretty fit, athletic guy with a single right cross to the solar plexus. You can't really "handle" a hit like that. And I'm definitely not going to call myself a "great" striker.

Another thing is the shots you CAN take, will create lasting damage when bareknuckled.
I have eaten a jab to the nose...it didn't hurt at the time, but it felt swollen for almost 2 weeks afterwards. Ate two hooks to the head, left and right, the one I took to the top of the head didn't faze me, but the one I took took the ear hurt like hell. Your ear getting blasted is not a concern when you've got gloves.

not to be a spoil sport but how do we know the dude was a boxer anyway?

to me that could have been any striking art except for maybe Wing chun.

eg. jkd, muay thai, karate, tae kwon do, other kung fu styles, or of course boxing.

it was just a jab cross combo with advancing footwork. fantasticlly applied but still it could have been any style.

not being a smart ass here, just making an observation.

Orthodox boxing stance with punches thrown boxing style.

It was definitely NOT JKD punching.
Definitely NOT TKD, kungfu, or karate...they each have their own respective punching "flavors."
Muay Thai...maybe, but unlikely.

Plain and simple...no matter what he practices, THAT was boxing. Boxing footwork, stance, mechanics. If he learned it in a different style(possible) they borrowed it from boxing.

[Tom Yum]

Oh, a biting retort!

lol...jubaji's routine never gets old!

[The_Judo_Jibboo]

what do you mean except wing chun. that was pure chain punching

Niether do you.

[jubaji]

But obviously, being good at boxing is more effective than grappling someone when its you versus 2.

Good job. Never miss an opportunity to say something stupid.

[Sagacious Lu]

It ain't fun but its a good dose of reality.

LOLOLOLOLOL... very true, at least my coworkers have been nice enough to pretend they didn't notice the shiner I picked up sparring on Tues.

I try not to get hit in the head too hard. I'd rather have a punch miss my head or not be there if given a choice.

I get clocked every now and then; when I workout with others (new and amateur boxers) and spar, sometimes I try to work on pure defense, gradually upping the speed/contact.

Every now and then, I'll take a solid hook to the head, but for the most part I keep moving, blocking and keeping my hands up. It ain't fun but its a good dose of reality.
