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.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Boxing vs Kickboxing

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

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.
"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.

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