boxing takes intelligence and - most people don't realize this - but the ability to TAKE a punch. anyone can be trained to hit - few can TAKE it. boxers are scarry cause they can TAKE it. they have a serious scarry focus on that point.

hiring bouncers now for a nightclub i own and am opening in a couple months - when people tell me they know how to fight i don't hire them. means they WANT to fight. we have a couple guys who listed boxing on their resumes - none of them brought it up in the interview till we did - both talked it down. both highlighted they will use their words to get out of anything before physical. EXACTLY the kind of bouncers I want. friendly - total confidence with anyone and if the shit hits the fan can level ANYONE.


if you want to spot a boxer - look for a fucked up nose and coliflowered ears.

SMART people looking to fight AVOID people with coliflowered ears above all else. Those guys can take SERIOUS punishment and usually doll out crazy punishment as well - you can't stop em. those are the ones to be afraid of.
