Between two equally trained and athletic individuals, the kickboxer would win because he has superior reach with his legs. But the better option is to cross train in both.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
That's arguable, since the kickboxer is more used to getting hit often, rather than getting hit hard, which could lead him to KO within two punches by an equally trained boxer. HOWEVER, if it's a passive boxer, which means that he usually plays his matches by waiting, avoiding hits and making matches last long, then the kickboxer has an advantage, because he could easily surprise the boxer with a fast kick, while he looks out for a punch.Shiftkey said:Between two equally trained and athletic individuals, the kickboxer would win because he has superior reach with his legs.

However, if we are talking about something like a high school fight, IMO the boxer has an advantage. I mean, I'd prefer to get hit by a kick of Jerome Le Banner's rather than a punch of Tyson's.
Agreed, though i think mirko's left high kick would be worse again. Apart from Mark Hunt he has virtually knocked everyone out with one blow when connecting properly with that high kick to the head!Adone said:I mean, I'd prefer to get hit by a kick of Jerome Le Banner's rather than a punch of Tyson's.

This is the fight between Vitor Belfort (boxer) and Wandrei Silva (Muay Thai)
Wandrei Silva was at one point considered one of the best P4P fighters in the world.

Adone, theres a link from wikipedia, clearly stating Muay thai can be reffered to as a form of kickboxing: haha

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

he still is!! he is the current middleweight champion in pride, nice fight though. Rumor has it, UFC are trying to sign him from pride. If so, his fight with chuck will be awesome
i'd prefer boxing over kickboxing. like bruce lee once said, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” boxers are dangerous to be messing around with. first of all they're not even afraid to hit you so you won't even see it coming when they do.

geoff thompson, a renowned 'street' martial artist wrote a book about his experiences as a bouncer in some of the worst clubs/pubs in england.
he says boxing is the best, since most fights take place (or at least start) at about 18 inches apart. the punch is the quickest and best way to go for a KO. kicks are best when the guy is on the ground. thompson ends most fights
in a few seconds with one shot to the chin.
im a boxer and a bit biased, though i have practiced elbows and occasionally knees. ive done brief freestyle sparring, and found i won the stand-up easily but was clueless in a clinch or on the ground.
on the streets, you dont wan tto be on the ground, it drags out too long and he might have some friends nearby ready to stomp on your head.
the punch is the best, elbwos are good too. a crash course for kicking when he's down and wrestling is in order, in case you dofnt ko him early and it ends in a clinch.

lets not forget ufc is not a steet fight saimulator. on the stret you arent allowed to go 5 minutes without interrutpion. you do not start 20 feet apart have a huge deal of free space. its not 1v1.
the best thing to learn is stret fighting. ball-kicking, suckerpunching, posturing (pretending your friends then hitting while hes disarmed or acting really crazy and violent to scare him), headbutting, using weapons. also controlling adrenaline fear.

You can't base yourself on Wikipedia definitions. However, in that very page, it's said that "Kickboxing has its roots in Muay Thai". Which clearly implies that Muay Thai CANNOT be a part of Kickboxing, if any it's the contrary.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Secondly, even if you can call him a boxer, he lost to Chuck Liddell, who is primarily a kickboxer, so the point is irrelevent.
