You simply get mauled if you fight multiple opponents? It seems to me that he done the perfect thing by continually moving out of the way and using the jab. Nasty left hook. Lucky? maybe, but skill seems to have won out in this instance.

Just so nobody gets any false ideas, this was a one off. If four people are attacking you. RUN!

That guy did pretty good!

lol yea I would run too but aparently the attackers didnt understand the concept of attacking him at the same time.

While i give the boxer credit, it should be noted that his attackers obviously had no idea how to fight. Their entry was pitiful. and the way they were reaching out towards him in such a way showed they had little skill. One did seem to have some kicking skill, but no punch defense.

Damn that was like watching Kung Fu Theater! All of the opponents seemed to "wait their turn" to fight, (playing nicely, by the rules lol). That and the fact that all of them couldn't fight worse if they were DEAD!

Very nicely done. He controlled distance and they had no plan. He was dropping people with jabs. Good that he didn't end up with someone behind him as he was backing up.

It could be argued that his aggression and apparent ability to drop them with a single punch may have sent a message that kept the others from organizing better. They seemed to be "wading in" behind each other and letting the guy in front take the punches thinking that they could surprise him without flanking. It didn't work though and when the front guy dropped, they were getting cracked too.

The problem in teaching this is that this guy was 10 times the fighter that any one of his attackers was. Teaching this strategy to someone who can't box and doesn't have KO ability might create more problems than it would solve.

Avoid, deescalate, defend and escape... in and out of order.

My issue is that having a strategy of just being a better striker than or outclassing your opponent can limit you options when your opponent is more formidable.

In SWAT operations, most search warrants and raids go off without a shot being fired... sometimes in an empty house. In an empty house anything short of shooting yourself or another team member would be considered a success without objective review and analysis of what could have happened if even moderate resistance was encountered and the members had screwed up on the entry.

This same level of scrutiny needs to be applied in this case IMHO.
