Defending against all out punchers

[Nick]

...

If you don't mess with Mike Tyson, he won't mess with you.

Besides, all the greats, although they might have/had good genes, still had to train hard to be a great. So instead of going, "oh, he's so-and-so, he'll knock me out" or "he's gonna choke me out because he's --- Gracie" train hard and try to become a great yourself. Might not happen, but better than excepting someone else always being better than right off the bat.

run away in circles "tito style" screaming " my hair, my hair".
when he cant focus due to laughing, kick him in the nuts

hey I taught Tito that technique.

after determining his range from the first few punches, casually step into the very edge of his reach with your inside foot forward. Wait for a punch that you like, and pivot to the outside while advancing forward. Try to lock his arm into your inside (either into your body, or in the web of your bicept), shift your outside hip into him, your outside shoulder down and inward; and break one of those arms with an open palm strike to the outter elbow.. a little harsh, and no good in tourney.. but effective!

if someone was coming at you full force throwing about 3 punches per second
(vitor style), you wouldn't be doing anything "casually"

break an elbow with a palm strike?

Just what I was thinking.
If he is landing with that flurry ....your in trouble.
If you can cover up and step into his chest it may slow him down or cause him to miss so you can get off a counter.
If someone is landing blows and you step back he will just follow.
But if you cover and get inside you can clinch.
Ducking and weaving to change levels and angles works if you arent getting hit too much.
A good boxer will step inside and clinch to stop a solid attack.
Vitor caught Silva and followed as Silva backed away.Silva never got to do anything.He ate alot of leather.He also was surprised.
After the first shot landed he should have coverd up and stepped toward Vitor.Instead he dropped his hands and back peddled.
Vitors punches are mostly straight punches.
Try stepping to the side he last threw with and come in for the clinch.
Watch the next UFC.Randy will show you what I mean.

Seifer: I dont know, if you are being punched by mike tison, all it takes is one punch to knock you out.

That's a lil presumptious (I think that's the right word), isn't it? I mean, it's like saying "Don't ever duck a kick, you'll end up like Mark Coleman getting KOed" . . .

Match Tyson up with Vanderlei Silva . . or Corture, or any MMA for that matter. Yea, he has "one punch to knock you out". So did Tank Abbott, and Ken Shamrock. Throw in a skilled MMA, and the miracle "one punch to knock you out" is a lot harder to come by.

The point is there's always going to be the small percentage of fights where a stiff cross or hook just slips in out of nowhere early in a fight and KOs the dude. But keep in mind the key phrase "small percentage". If you prepare yourself against an all out puncher with proper MMA training, it won't totally prevent you from getting KOed, hey it happens all the time. But it'll give you a much better chance against your opp.

but it hurts like hell if he has any accuracy.

Jdog everyone has really answered this question but I would say you need to develop some toughness (at least mental maybe physical). I know you are asking what to do in a situation, but getting hit is going to happen, that is why punching is effective of course it hurts and none like getting hit. But the pain isn't the problem, it is the punches taking you out of the match. My point is if you are focusing on the pain you are not focused on the match that would be more of a problem as your goal is to when. defense defense defense

"How do you defend against a fighter that just comes out throwing 10 punches a second.".....well I would .....let's see...ummm...well move out of the way

ultimately, on the street or ring you need to work your style close the sidestep/gap block/clinch/ TD/kick etc.

Best Defense Is The Let Him Punch You In The Head Until He Tires Out (like Homer In That Simpsons Episode) Then Once Hes Tired Thats When You Make You Move !
