Let me put this in Amen terms:

Could a "confident" street brawler type with no formal training hang 10 rounds with the regulars in a gold gloves competitive gym?

To answer your question, yes.

There are always chances of the more trained/knowledgeable being defeated.

A lot of variables play in to it. You could be not feeling 100%, coming down with the flu without feeling symptoms yet, while he’s feeling 100%. Or maybe you strain your back, legs or arms while rolling with him which would give him an advantage.

There’s always that beginners luck chance.
