Esplain to me how you let a boxer kick your ass...

Boxers don't kick...

I guess we both learned something tonight.

how can u say kickboxing has an advantage... when i read this I pictured every boxer using this as an excuse to why he would be defeated.

The obvious answer is: "It's an expression"

But you still get 20 cool points for bringing that out!

Wasn't there a clip shown in this forum of a 40 year old boxer getting his legs completely taken out by a Thai fighter in a K-1 match?

Makes sense it would also apply in a more casual sense - a boxer who is finely tuned to hands only and not trained for kicks and below-belt strikes will be more at the mercy of someone who is trained in such.

My internet vision sees... You suck at plum (Thai clinch).

like thats a surprise, the amount of people ive met who say they do muay thai and yet spend **** all time training the clinch is pretty overwhelming

Before the fight, we agreed on that I was not allowed to use knees much, and only do them light contact so I wasnt trying much in the clinch. But you are right, my clinch could use some work.

So you were not really allowed to use elbows or knees and you were not allowed to use leg strikes with full or near full force while your friend was throwing his hands at full or near full force?

You may got your ass kicked by a boxer but I don't think this would've happened if you were going full force and using elbow/knees.

Yes, amen to that.
