3/ Although, to be clear, I'm not saying "eat the first punch". Block it. Also: I'm not a boxer or even a guy with a history of street fights. I've only been in ~2 actual fights since college, and 2-3 near fights. So discount my advice heavily when compared against real data

4/ I disagree with "staying out of reach". I'm in favor of "be prepared to eat damage and ignore it, all while delivering maximum damage per second (that's a vidya thing, right?) to the other guy".https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1225166298981621761 …

5/ I think of fights in terms of US doctrine re "principles of war" specifically * offensive * objective * mass Hit as hard as you can as fast as you can and do not relent. Make them reconsider their life choices and beg for mercy.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principles_of_war#United_States_principles_of_war …

6/ more like 1/2 :P and valid HOWEVER, I think the two best strategies are: * run away, fast * damn the torpedoes, attempt total destructionhttps://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1225167091432509440 …

7/ whew...that's a good question! I've spotted them several times, but not sure exactly how. Watching for fists to ball, watching for decision to be reached and telegraphed via the eyes, maybe ?https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1225170642703503360 …

10/ Also, in at least one memorable fight, I basically taunted him into throwing the sucker punch, which meant that I knew EXACTLY when it was coming...even before he did. We were f2f and I thought "dude's going to twitch / feint, so that I flinch". So I prepped, twitch came >

13/ and pull it down ... into my left uppercut. So now he's staring at his shoes, eating my repeated lefts (I'm kind of right handed, but also kind of ambidextrous), and backpedalling, with zero situational awareness, and I'm staying on him So, anyway, moral: know the script
