Do you guys "fight" your friends who don't train when they ask you to?

No, it's just an awesome way to get injured needlessly. I don't spar with anybody who hasn't learned technique and control, there's literally no point.

No. I don't hang out with the type of douchebags who would enjoy participating in such behavior.

none of my friends have ever asked. I must be doing something wrong.

No, and if they would I would just tell them to go boxing themselves.
I do like to ask girls to hit me, but that's something entirely different.

No. It is sort of pointless.

Quite true. I know people who have done this after a boys night out and roughly half the time someone ended up with a nice clean break. Better than a compound fracture, but not an ideal way to train or end an evening.

If a friend wants to train - I take or send them to a gym or suitable training group.

Trained boxing is 100% different than a street fight (what your buddy thinks is boxing). I was an amateur boxer for 6 years, and I've 'sparred' my friends a couple times. Its basically is a street fight where you pretty much gotta dance around and dodge their haymakers til they get tired..then do your work. Its pretty lame IMO, and a serious fighter who isnt trying to show off how tough they are isnt interested in shit like that.

You know exactly what I'm talking about. People just slip on the gloves, and think it's boxing.

noone studies bare knuckle, a round is a knock out, and the fight is over when the other man cant get up. maybe you were just trying to sound smart or something.
