nobody experienced is getting caught with a sucker punch. further, almost anyone who does any kind of regular training over a period of time is not going to put themselves in a situation to get sucker punched in the first place as they know the consequences of fighting outside of the gym. it just isn't worth it. egos are stupid and your legs are the best self defense you've got. de-escalate as much as possible.
you're also overconfident in your ability to set your feet and swing as well - if you don't believe me, go to a boxing, muay thai, kickboxing, etc. gym and ask them what they think.
again - you're spouting some krav-like nonsense "oh i don't fight fair and i can throw a punch in these streets so it's a different story man you don't even know"
there are a million videos on the internet of guys with the same mindset who got proven wrong.
fair?

you are underestimating my skill at punching a person who isn't paying attention behind the ear
if i were to go to a boxing/muaythai/kickboxing gym they would laugh at me. my right is stupidly slow and stupidly telegraphed, but i know how to set my feet and throw it straight down the pipe.
if you are in front of me in a fighting stance you can get out of the way, so i'd grab you and try to smash you, you'd pull some jiu jitsu shit and beat me handily
so if we had even the inkling of beef i would avoid you unless i could catch you slipping.
you being the proverbial dude with some training. getting beat up is the worst, i'm not going to volunteer myself for it. which is why the sucker punches come out.
im not trying to convey that my shitty animal tactics would propel me to victory either, if im trying to crush your balls in my hand and biting you etc. its strictly from a place of im losing this but he ain't leaving unscathed
not some magical belief that it will end the fight with me winning.
but i hear you, i think you just misunderstood my viewpoint. i know plenty of bros who think they can fight in scenarios you mention who would lose.
also i can pull up millions of videos of people getting blindside suckerpunched by people who know nothing and even throw dopey looping hooks/complete novice shit
which is why everyone should carry a pistol and shoot eachother in the face
