im not going to go out looking for fights or anything, just want to know how to take someone out if i had too

Answer 1

boxing is perfect training for street fights.  Beings most street fights are about pride and knocking the other guy out, both fighters will usually stay toe to toe; however, if you are happening to be fighting a wrester than you are most likely screwed if he decides to takes you to the ground. take jujitsu along with boxing, just look at the effect jujitsu has had on mma.

Answer 2

best thing to do is get a fat kid to run into a church and shout CRIPPLE FIGHT,i guaranteee u that u will be safe

Answer 3

boxing is an excellent way to iprove your fighting skills, but  in some states you have to be careful, no matter what age your learning a form of fighting. essentially the law takes it as your learning to become a weapon litterally and say your not supposed to fight in street fights in the safety of the other party. but if you excersise extreme restraint and fightin is unavoidable then everthing will be ok. just try not to beat the kid up too bad. ps. i started boxin at 11 because of that. i'm 17 now and i'e been able to avoid street fights. they should teach you self-control to make that possble.

boxing is good it will give you power and speed and it will teach you what punches to throw. My tip is to start out with straight punch combinations then when hes vulnerable throw some power punches like hooks and upper cuts. Straight punches will back ur opponent up and keep him away from you. And the power punches will put him on the floor.
