hitting the throat is not as easy as most people like to think. The real world of resistance is different from the world of cooperation you see in your school.
Also you have gloves and sometimes on street one good lucky punch is enough for the guy to quit or a lucky chin ko and than stomps.
Did you catch Pride: Bushido 2 last week? mario sperry had a one punch KO. That can be done with or without gloves - it depends on where they are hit, and the impact your strike has.
Plus it's completly different, the adrenaline and the fact that in streetfights most including pro boxers rely on instinct and most of the stuff they do goes out the window. That's why it's a spot.
it's time like this where prove what an ignoramus you are...
1. Do you honestly think there's no adrenaline rush when you step into the ring?
2.On the insticnt thing, let me explain that to you...
When the heart rate jumps above a certain point, that mixed with adrenaline makes you forget everything THAT IS NOT INGRAINED as a reflex action. In other words, if you train to strike to the throat, but aren't constantly doing it when you spar, when you are in the street, chances are that you will not do it, because it's not ingrained in you. The boxer spends all of his time punching, moving, etc. What he uses in a fight will be the same as what he uses in the ring. Now, punches that he doesn't use regularly will not be used. Using myself as an example, I don't throw alot of hooks to the body. In a street fight, I would forget that I'd ever learned that technique, because I don't use it.
