What would happen if I fought a featherweight boxer? (1 Viewer)

Look we aren't saying they're invincible. But most guys just overestimate their fighting prowess and underestimate the power that can be generated at 125lb's. Experience plays a huge role in this scenario as well. It's harder to hit people than it looks and getting punched in the face takes some getting used to. A nice hook or overhand really knocks those marbles loose the first few times you get hit.As i stated before at my weight of 135 (5'8) i have utterly destroyed large tomato cans in the ring (who have had no training). So i have no doubt that a professional 10 pounds lighter than me can do the same thing. If you hit them it will hurt them and quite possibly knock them out. But you really only have a very limited time in which to do this before you gas or get rocked a few times and want to quit.

What's he do, nibble your bum? He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones! Right! Silly little bleeder. One rabbit stew comin' right up! Aaaugh! I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn't you? Oh, it's just a harmless little bunny, isn't it? Well, it's always the same. I always tell them--

this has "best thread ever" potential all of a sudden
Black dot all day, baby. Someone should start making book. Something like "Which bodily fluid will Matuski spill first - pee, poo, blood or snot?" would be a huge ratings winner.

My prediction: pain
This reminds me of the time I mouthed off to a high school wrestler who was 50 pounds lighter, 5 inches shorter, and two years younger than me (18 to 16). I called him little fella, and he said he could make me call him Daddy if he wanted to. I laughed uproariously, and challenged him to a match, gentleman's rules. No face punches, no eye gouging, no biting, etc. We stepped outside into the grass and squared off with a small crowd and a referee. Within about 30 seconds, my left ankle and my right ear were in very close proximity to one another, I couldn't move my arms, and when I went to call him "Daddy" and officially quit, it came out more like "schwammffyy" because I was face down in the grass bearing all of my weight and his.
If you haven't been trained in hand to hand, you're going to get demolished by those who have. Size becomes an issue between two similarly skilled fighters. Skill >>>>>>>> size in fighting.

, genedoc.Wrestlers are an entirely different animal but the same principle applies absolutely I think. J
There will be a waiver involved, I'm sure. There's enough lawyers on the board to make Joe judgment proof.

Is rehashing posts from earlier in the thread a new schtick?

Who's going to go to Mount Olympus to recruit the Featherweight boxer?

Damn, sorry I am so late to this party. Looks like the makings of some damn good shtick.
Unless you grab the guy and prevent him from unloading a punch, you are doomed. A boxer is going to not only know how to avoid you, but if somehow you DO connect even with a haymaker, the guy is going to have enough chin to recover unless you get just perfect lucky.
Now, when someone who is trained to inflict pain with precision shots when that is their aim connects to your barely protected chin, head or gut, youd be on the floor quicker than you can say - Come on shorty

Koya, you're about 125, right? Why don't you give it a run?

what makes this thread even better, for me at least, is that matsuki is being a good #### about it.

how many of y'all who think you can do this have ever actually feigned a punch or countered a punch during a street fight? These are skills that the average joe (even an average FBG joe) just doesn't have. If a big dude swings at this little dude and misses, which given their training at dodging punches is likely, a swift counter punch will be coming and would likely end the fighthe'd just fake a few times and wait for you to make a first strike, dodge it and you'd be done for

With all the legal studs on here, surely you guys can work me up something to cover my butt. I'll need it.JGenedoc said:There will be a waiver involved, I'm sure. There's enough lawyers on the board to make Joe judgment proof.JZilla said:

not much to define. just your normal fist fights.in the ring i think i could drop a featherweight when i connect on his jaw.Can you define "brawl"?Jyou assume i have no skills.
I think we're in agreement here, GB. I mean shtick in a good way. Shtick is always good. (Unless it's bad shtick, which this isn't.)Joe Bryant said:Hi Otis. Shtick?Otis said:

Regardless of what I've said (and still stick by) I will be doing this for the experience and to see for myself what a guy that size can do.With that in mind: I am not interested in a bareknuckle fight... I am not interested in hurting someone nor being hurt by someone (I'm up for whatever with gloves and headgear). I will box the guy... lets start with the original premise of the thread. We can do sequels or something if the boxing goes well!With all the legal studs on here, surely you guys can work me up something to cover my butt.

Don't care how many brawls you've been in. At 5'8 and 260+ you won't have the speed to connect with anything but air against a competent boxer.not much to define. just your normal fist fights.in the ring i think i could drop a featherweight when i connect on his jaw.Can you define "brawl"?Jyou assume i have no skills.

(1) You wouldnt connect on his anything(2) He has been trained to take a punch and I bet the pro's he faces, at their far lighter weight, can do at least close to and likely more damage than your punch, especially since you would be lucky just to glance him(3) Seeing as you likely wont even hit him, what happens when he connects with you, just enough to phase you... then he hits again. Then again. And again. Within about 3 seconds of each other.not much to define. just your normal fist fights.in the ring i think i could drop a featherweight when i connect on his jaw.Can you define "brawl"?Jyou assume i have no skills.
