Another boxing style
boxer puncher
is a hybrid style used to describe fighters who possess
good all-around boxing/punching skills and capabilities
They possess the technical skill of an out-boxer and also
the devastating power of a slugger
Boxer-punchers usually do well against out-boxers
especially if they can match their speed and mobility


Rock, Paper, Scissors
There is a commonly accepted theory about the success each of these boxing styles
has against the others.
The general rule is similar to the game Rock, Paper, scissors
each boxing style has advantages over one, but disadvantages against the other
A famous cliché amongst boxing fans and writers is styles make fights
Brawlers tend to overcome in-fighters, because the in-fighter likes to be on the inside,
where the hard-hitting brawler is most effective
The in-fighter's flurries tend to be less effective than the power punches of the slugger,
who quickly overwhelms his opponents
While the in-fighter could be considered a 'boxing bag' for the brawler,
they tend to succeed against out-fighters
On the inside, the out-fighter loses a lot of his combat effectiveness,
because he cannot throw the hard punches. The in-fighter is generally successful in this case
The out-fighter tends to be most successful against the brawler,
whose slow speed (both hand and feet) and poor technique make them an easy target to hit
for the faster out-fighter. The out-fighter's main key is to stay alert,
as the brawler only needs to land one good punch to finish the fight
Hybrid boxers tend to be the most successful in the ring,
because they often have advantages against most opponents
Short:
-brawlers tend to succeed against infighters
-outfighters tend to succeed against brawlers
-Infighters tend to succeed against outfighters
-Hybrid boxing tends to be the most succesfull in the ring
