Capisci? - (said Kabeesh) is the italian expression used to ask if you understood something. Possibly, the most famous use of this expression is in the movie 'The Godfather', in which an old Marlon Brando plays the role of "Don" Vito Corleone, the aging patriarch and head of a New York mafia family.Kabob?Corned Beef?BustedKnuckles said:

I can't believe we have 16 pages on what would happen if Shady fought a professional boxer...
He would be destroyed...
Anytime someone without any boxing training takes on someone who has training, it's not going to be pretty

He would destroy you after your out of breath after :30 seconds. I'm sure he'd be scared of your weight lifting strength if you came out in a Superman wife beater.

A bit of a slow day here, so I figured this might be pertinent.
Apparently Pros vs. Joes did something like this. I'm not sure how much the Joe weighed here, I would guess it's probably around 200 pounds, but an out of shape and retired Arturo Gatti(fought from super featherweight to welterweight(140 pounds)) just puts a beating on this scrub.

He drills him with the same exact left hook that he set up the same way twice. Feigning the right hand and just plastering him when he moves the wrong way. Hilarious.

Makes perfect sense when you think about it.. A fighter with no training is almost always going to expect the power hand lead because that's the typical street/bar brawl throw. Didn't think a lead hand hook could come that quick and with that much power.

But he's so small! He goes twelve rounds with other small dudes and can't knock them out! He can't hit hard! I'll just push him around and do my patented wind-up haymaker! It can't fail!

Wise move. It is very much in your best interest to continue finding excuses not to do this.JIt isn't. Taking all I got not to gain weight right now.
never known you to 
2 classes of BJJ under my belt (see other thread)... the boxing gyms are just plain unattractive to me (I would never go). I'm sorry to disappoint all those who felt this was ever a macho deal. It was always a common sense deal. I can only grin in amusement at those of you who seemingly think this is a shot at my ego.Don't recall ever making an excuse, fact is I have many priorities in life - this ranks among many other things i am curious and interested in yet may never do. Little things like my job, wife, kids, lack of free time get in the way.I stand by my original premise without a second of doubt. No chance a 5'6" 125lb guy takes me out.PS - Re: the video: Gatti fought at 145lbs, 20 lbs higher than we are discussing. In that video I'd put him much higher.

It's scary you think I'm fishing. Watch the video. That would be best case scenario for the non pro. I don't really care either way. I certainly mean what I say that I don't want you to do this as it's not in your best long term health interests. I just hate to see exceptionally skilled people like elite level fighters (or any other sport) not get the credit they deserve. Whether it's coaching the NFL or MMA, I don't have much patience for the "I could do that better" shtick.JWise move.

I did my first sparring in Karate this past saturday. i am a beginner and sparred with a 14yo blackbelt and a mid 30's black belt. The kid was much more advanced and faster than me. I think he was going a little easy on me. As long as I kept punching to his face, he couldn't get close enough with his punches, and I was blocking most of his kicks. If I was going to take him in a fight, I would have had to take him to the ground if it went longer than two minutes, I could barely catch my breath afterwards.
I was beat after the match and then I sparred the older guy and I was so tired I could barely hold my arms up. He got a real nice kick right in my jaw when he faked a low kick and then went high when I dropped my arms.

Yeah I haven't read all 16 pages so that's very possible, that's just what I assumed. I think it would be more interesting to see an untrained big guy fight a trained little guy.

Of course the little guy has no chance to take you out, because you come up with a million excuses to make sure he never does. You remind of the guy whose buddies are holding him back from fighting, but he really has zero interest in fighting and claims he would have whipped everyone's butt in the bar if he wasn't getting held back. Every local bar or tavern has them. Carry on with your fantasy.matuski said:Wise move. It is very much in your best interest to continue finding excuses not to do this.JIt isn't.

Ok what happened here? The last time I checked in we were talking about a 125 lb guy in a street fight (ie a clench and then try to go to the ground). Now we're watching 160+ lb Gatti in a boxing match?

2 years and 16 pages later, and Otis still has the best post in this thread.I'll ante $60 as well.
That's $120 to see matuski fight a professional featherweight in the street.
If I were a richer man, I'd offer $200 to see it happen. The beatdown would be funniest thing ever seen here.

Are we talking a 200 lb man in unbelievable shape, or a "regular joe" 200 lb man who is really just a 175 lb man with 25 pounds of baby fat? I mean, most boxers cut a minimum of 10 pounds before a fight, so a 125 pound boxer is really a 135-140 pound man.
To those who believe that any trained fighter will beat any untrained fighter of any size, do you really believe Manny Pacquio would take, let's say, Ray Lewis in a street fight?
Obviously, I guarantee victory for Manny in a boxing match, but given a street fight, anything goes setting I'm probably not betting.

There aren't many Ray Lewis's walking around. Regardless, getting hit in the head is getting hit in the head. With someone like Pac hitting you flush in the noggin, there's a good chance you're going down. I don't care who you are

I'll put up $50, and there's a 5'7", 135 lb. pro Muay Thai fighter that I know who may be up for the challenge.
His name's Phanuwat “Coke” Chunhawat. Do a search.

Yeah, I agree that there aren't too many men built like Ray Lewis walking around, but there are some. It seemed that most people in this thread think that a 130 pound trained fighter is gonna kill ANY untrained fighter regardless of size and I don't buy that. Take Ray Lewis, he's not a trained fighter, but he's been taking hits to his body and head since he was 8. I would be willing to bet that a helmet to helmet collision with the likes of Adrian Peterson or Jamal Lewis is just a traumatic to the brain as a punch from a 130 pound boxer with a boxing glove. So trying to say he'd be completely blown away by the first punch is ridiculous IMO(even considering a street fight would be bare knuckled). And if he does absorb the first few punches then Pacquio is in trouble because Lewis would be quick enough and athletic enough to get him to the ground. With the weight of a 260 lb man on his chest Pacquio's boxing instincts go out the window IMO.Considering all that, like I said I wouldn't bet on that fight.
