Brehs, I have been training these hands for about 6 months now and have basically turned myself into an african god. The dude that has been training me is a former pro and has basically bowed down and is trying to get me to go in, but I am in school and plan to become a doctor so that's a no-go.
There have been so many benefits to training boxing. First, word has gotten around that I am nice with the hands now and dudes fear me even more than they did before. Plus, I am more fit than ever because of the cardio requirements for training. But perhaps the biggest benefit is that I now know that i can probably kill any man who is not above my level with my bare hands in combat. For instance, the other day, this bjj dude came in and was talking all kinds of shyt and they told him to get in the ring to prove which style was better. He had been training for around 9 years in bjj supposedly so we were really impressed and respected his skills. Long story short, I had my way with this guy. He kept trying to shoot in for a takedown, but with my superior footwork, I easily dodged everything he attempted. It was literally like picking on a retarded child. It's true what everyone says when they say boxing is the best form.
Being a bjj guy, he had no standup game whatsoever and was thus annihilated with ease. He left and his eyes were moist as though he was about to cry, and his wife called the gym later trying to get a refund, which was laughed at because he didn't even have to pay because the owner saw he had no cash on account of his wife earning the money in the house. He drove a prius. This was in California by the way.
