wolverine uskf Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Which do you think is more fun to watch, and more effective in an actual fight. I think in a boxing match the boxer will win by points, but the puncher will win by a knock out. In this case i would say the puncher would be more effective in a real fight, and more fun to watch, but the boxer will have a longer more successful boxing career.

wolverine uskf Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Boxer = jabs, combos, movement, and winning by points. Puncher = power punches, standing toe to toe, brawling, and going for the knockout.Sorry for the confusion i thought that was still a common term for boxing styles. I was always considered a puncher, because my foot work, and style was more for power than speed.(in other words i was slow, but powerful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesteph Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 In the last of the Rocky movie series, Rocky Balboa, the only way he could stand up to the younger fighter was by what his trainer said to use: blunt force trauma. Sounds more like the puncher, and I thought the fight scene at the end was a blast. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolverine uskf Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (The punchers chance) It just means that even if you are out matched in skill, you can still win if you have enough power and can land a lucky shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryu5toforever Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 That's the thing though, in a game of skill vs luck, skill almost always comes out on top. You mix all that in with self defense, and I'll take skill every time. Even if someone doesn't have "knockout power" in a ring, I would think their sense of timing and technique would make up for that in a situation without gloves. I'm betting Ali could have knocked out the average mugger and he didn't have "knockout power." He who knows others is wise.

MasterPain Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Either one so long as it is trained enough to develop the skill set of the style. I say learn to do both. My fists bleed death. -Akuma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Take the "puncher" and work him up as a "Boxer," and you get something really nasty... https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMA_Jim Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Brawlers have rarely done well against those with a "traditional" boxing style.Margarido vs PacTyson vs Holyfield/ LewisForeman vs AliSuch a boxer has ko power- they're just smart enough to work their opponent down rather than brawling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groinstrike Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I know its not true "boxing" but a fight to watch that exemplifies this is Chris Leben Vs. Alessio Sakara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
