Boxer defending himself

[The BB of C]

That was good. Very quick and precice hands.

You could see at first he got away from the big crowd, then he had to take on two at the same time, while another was trying to get around them and at him. He controlled his optimum range excellently (punching range). One guy even tried to get into grappling range, but he threw him to the ground. Another was throwing kicks, but he closed the distance and hurt the guy bad. Looks like that guy took the worst of it.

Every so often, there's a post--or question in the dojang--about multiple attackers. This boxer was taking the defensive action of backing up, but firing away offensively against anyone within striking range. He zoned it just right, and though he didn't have as much space as someone might think a street fight would have (cars were seen moving behind him), he made use of what he did have in the most efficient and effective manner possible. He never let his guard down, with those hands up protecting his face whenever pausing to ground himself and assess.

Isn't there a Taiji move, "Repulse the Monkey," that, when doing it right, will allow you to retreat while dishing it out to your attackers?

I saw this clip while looking at one that Cross posted. I thought it showed some good boxing concepts; hands up, move your feet, good solid straight punches. He even did a good job of keeping everyone in line, and not facing too many at a time.
