Well, maybe not the COMPLETE opposite, but damn close.
This video is of a retired boxer named "Prince" Naseem Hamed. In the sense of sport fighting, this guy was really amazing. How would he do in a street fight? I don't know. He had AMAZING footwork and speed. Although it isn't what we teach, this highlight video is very entertaining. One thing to watch is his forward movement. Although he has different footwork that has been designed to be in a ring, Naseem uses excellent bursting forward movement. His evasions are top notch too, but once again, not really for the street.

The problem with his fighting on the street is with the theory. Showmanship, dancing, and all that garbage are the types of things that get you killed in a street fight. Cut it with the fancy garbage and survive. Win at all costs, don't become the bad guy while you are doing it.
See you all soon!
