Street fights can occur at any place, any time and it’s always a good idea to be prepared. Though I doubt either of the guys in this video have any martial arts background, the white guy is much more confident and aggressive where his opponent, the black guy, is more defensive.

It is unclear what starts this conflict. They appear to be having words when all of a sudden, the white guy sucker punches the black guy and it’s ON!

The black guy stumbles back and the two exchange sloppy punches. Both are very amateurish with their technique but I like a few things that the white guy is doing. One, he is throwing mostly straight punches and throwing in combinations not just single strikes. Two, he does a good job maintaining distance until he decides to strike, making good use of his reach advantage. He stays out of his opponents punching range then moves in with punches. And lastly, he uses feints.

Feints are a good way to not only keep your opponent guessing but also to figure out what he’s going to do before he does it. How he reacts to certain strikes/attacks. Does he cover up? Move away? Throw a counter left hook?

His opponent meanwhile stays on the defensive. After the initial exchange following the sucker punch it’s almost like he realizes he’s not going to win this one and hardly throws anything with the exception of a few pot shots and just tries to survive.

The white guy puts his opponent in a rear naked choke briefly when it hits the ground but doesn’t know how to finish it and decides to continue beating on his over matched foe, landing some brutal soccer kicks until he decides to stop.

This fight really shows you that aggression and confidence goes a long way in a fight, and some basic boxing knowledge doesn’t hurt either.
