THIS IS THE BEST BOXING STYLE FOR THE STREET! WATCH THESE FIGHTERS!

I always felt like George Foreman laid a good blueprint on boxing for street defense, he had a good go to cover up that worked for him and always had a good control game

Thanks, Brother! I was telling my nephew this, who disagrees. Yes, I learned and fought with the boxing fundamentals, but it wasn't until I learned how to incorporate my longest limbs (legs) through studying Kung Fu, which assisted with multiple attacks. He still disagrees with me because his boxing coach tells him you don't need to kick in street fights. I believe in having multiple tools in the toolbox. Again, I'm now in my 50s, and low placed kicks, not high kicks were the game changer for me. Keep up the good work.

How about the Tyson peakaboo style? I'd like his opinion on that.

A good example of a basic boxing style that works for bare knuckle was bobby gunn. He is fighting bare knuckle under certain rules but his clips you can see him have opportunities to do certain things that involve the clinch etc. Boxing can work but it has to be adjusted for other things. Petr yan is a recent guy I think does well with a standard boxing style for ufc. Now self protection is different when weapons come into play. Most people I think would default to "the fence" that Geoff Thompson talks about when is comes to knife play. That stance seems more practical than a standard boxing stance.

Much appreciated.

pure gold content 💯 sayf

Coach I've been watching tons of videos of classic pugilism before gloves and the emphasis was on body punching. Should we focus on the body on the street to prevent hand injuries?

Great job on explaining boxing for self defense Dr. Carmen. When I started sparring in karate I noticed many point fighting student were developing quite stupid habits just to score a point that would get them killed on the streets. In my opinion point fighting is great for developing great kicking techniques and distance management if done right. If done wrong bad over reaching punching and sloppy defense becomes a habit.

I don't think a reasonable Man could argue against any of that. Great commentary.

Thank you.

Agreed!!!

Great video.

Only one style needs to be learned and that styles name is called Melvin Manhoef 👍

Thank You for the content is very high Quality data, I got a question, if some one with the agresive bare knuckle boxing style of Mike Perry attacked me on the street, What combat sport/martial art style do you think it would help me to stand a chace against that attacker? Thankyou again.

Yo unc, would Duran make the list?

Salaams. Great analysis as ever. However, doesn’t height come into it? If you’re much shorter then the cross guard like Archie Moore or reverse cross guard like Gene Fulmer would allow you to use your elbows to destroy incoming hooks. In a street fight these usually present as wild swings. In my experience as a youth, though considerable I admit is dwarfed by yours, is that the overhand right is your main issue so mixing it up like Qawi Mohammad could make you an awkward target. However I get your scenario even a short fighter can charge forward and be presented with a myriad of grappling and dirty boxing opportunities from a high guard.

Sir, have you released your videos on jailhouse rock?

Good morning Sayf, what would you call that style of boxing Canelo and Crawford is using?

I look at boxing like an entre to a meal. Sure it might be a nice juicy steak filled with protein and nutrients but where’s the sides? Where’s the other nutrients you need to function throughout the day that just a steak by itself won’t provide?

Do you think that a tall guy with 1,83cm of height can fight with the mike tyson style?

Great comments on this. Like young Virgil Ortiz too. Did you like Winky Wright when he was around?

Its peekaboo
