Would Katie Taylor beat an average man in a fight?

OMARS_COMING_

Lets say for arguments sake that an average man is :

5ft 10, 14 stone, keeps somewhat active and has little fight experience.

Would he beat Katie Taylor.

Mr Simpson

Katie would knock the crap out of most men who have no training

Eathrin

No.

Caveman1

Yes IMO, she could not only block all your shots but she would be lightening quick, she's also very powerful

Forest Demon

Yes (unless he hit her with a chair)

Do you mean a boxing fight or a straightener

BunShopVoyeur

Yep.

She'd knock the bollox out of you OP.

Pottler

No, A better question would be "If Katie Taylor was in a ring with an average man, and she was handcuffed, could an average man manage to hit her?" The answer to that is also no. If you doubt me, hop into a ring with a good boxer. Or even an average boxer. You'll find the answer fairly fast.:) If she was allowed hit back, bits of you would break. Like your arms, for example, and your ribs. And your neck.

Asking two different questions in Thread title and OP, Pretty confusing

Derp.

Tombi!

Better one: Makikomi vs Katie, for the honour Boards.

But OP, no, most men (and women) woud be utterly destroyed by her.

DanWall

I would not like to be married to her

Riddle101

Sure i'd say she'd probably be able to beat a few male boxers, let alone an average man. She's a tough woman and obviously has A LOT of fighting expierence.

Lawrence1895

I would loose big time

Diego Maradona

No

Could an Olympic gold medal boxer beat up the average man.

Let me think about that.

yes

Scioch

Would an olympic gold medallist/world/european champion boxer beat Joe Soap is what your asking ?

Probably

dodderangler

Even with a boxer that has trainin I reckon she'd do grand and win
She is pretty quick and has a good length in her reach to pick up enough power to knock most out or down

Praetorian Saighdiuir

Id kick her head in!










Pffft, where's her Jesus then eh!

Pottler

Good "laugh" available when meeting a pro boxer, play "slaps" with them. Thats where you hold your hands out, palms together, fingertip to fingertip with your opponent. Each takes turns slapping the back of the others hand, until one dodges their hands away and the opponent misses. Ye know the one.
Firstly, unless they let you, you will not hit their hands, they are just too quick. Secondly, when it's their turn and they slap your hand, you won't barely see it coming, let alone dodge it and all the blood vessels on the back of your hand will burst. After 2 or three slaps, you will be unable to take another.
Transpose that idea into "them punching you in the head". You get a whole new respect for good boxers.

Tym

She's an olympic level , gold-medal winning,...yes Op, most definetly.

The majority of male boxers would probably be beaten by her, since it's mostly about tactics.

I'd say only another olympian male would have a chance.

fergiesfolly

saw a video of her sparring paddy Barnes and she knocked lumps out of him. She'd kill the average man.

jurahnimoh

Throw her in the ring wit Bernard Dunne

omgitsthelazor

Judging from the sparring video of her holding her own against Paddy Barnes who wasn't holding back, and considering he himself went 15-15 against the Olympic gold medalist today I'd say forget about the man on the street, Katie could probably defeat a good few of the weaker males in her weight division.

IvySlayer

She'd stand no chance against male boxers, but she'd destroy the average man.

mathepac

I suppose the real question is would Katie be interested in such a match? I think if asked she'd laugh nicely and say "thanks for the offer, but no thanks" and walk away.

Anyone trying to assault her from behind would then have 4.6M people queuing up to knock 7 kinds of crap out of them.

Katie in a brawl in Ireland? No chance, IMHO.

ScumLord

If she was fighting an average untrained man she'd humiliate any man that tried to fight her. She wouldn't have to fight though, if she just started crying the man would be at a loss at what to do.

Higher

I don't think she would to be honest.

I do a bit of MMA and we had a professional boxer from Holland sparring with us one day. When it was boxing only he was obviously killing us but then when we did MMA rounds it was really quite easy to beat him, just tackle him to the ground. I'd assume most lads following that technique could beat Katie Taylor. A boxer is no use off their feet. Especially a female one against a male who I'd assume would overpower her.

Chuck Stone

I'm an extraordinary man and she'd bate seven shades of shite outa me.


I started a big long thread about this a while back

That must be such a bizarre feeling; sparring with a woman.

Every fibre & sinew of your body would be telling you 'this is wrong, stop'.

I guess that's how broke guys feel when they end up doing gay porn. Sure it could happen to the Pope.

What was the question?

Over the head with a guitar would be the way to go. But youd ruin a perfectly good guitar

efb

I don't think Katie would entertain a grubby streetlight with anyone.

She's an athlete- an Olympic Gold Medalist

krudler

in a boxing match? nope, in a an actual brawl? maybe not if he tackled her to the ground. I think the OP should volunteer to put this to the test.

5ft 10 and 14 stone, bit porky isnt he? either that or he's built like Arnold Schwarzenegger )

No man would fight Kaite Taylor anyway, she too nice altogether, so I would suggest attacking her with a kiss and a bunch of flowers ( maybe some chocolate too) this would melt her heart and the fight would be all over in a flash.

Your comparing two trained individuals one trained in ground game is obviously going to beat a boxer if they can get it to the ground. Your average joe isn't going to have ground training and is still going to have to somehow get a hold of her and get her to the ground. Fighters tend to have superhuman speed in comparison to a normal person.

Where To

Yes she would, thankfully.

You are speaking from experience, just like the guy you are contradicting I suppose?

FYI what he says makes perfect sense, I've been involved in martial arts myself and once things go to ground it is a totally different skill set. It also isn't that hard to grab a hold of someone who is coming at you, it is harder to punch someone who is backing off however. At least in my experience.

megaten

I feel like we've had this thread already. The answer is no.

Dempsey

As you can see from that video she is able endure a sparring session with a Men's Olympic double bronze medallist albeit she's ~10Kg heavier than him.

Do you think an average joe could take Paddy Barnes?

Depends.
How many prayers does he say each night and how often does he attend church?

The King of Moo

I can't help but feel a little disturbed by how often this question seems to come up.

Though not as disturbed as the people who've clearly really, really thought about it (none really so far this time), and still think the average man could wrestle her to death.

Sunnyisland

Average male probably not,Good male street fighter probably would,imo.

Hardonraging

If prefer the question ... 'if katie was naked and on top, would she give it to me like she was a rodeo rider .. ? '

This. I've sparred with a European Champion Kickboxer and I did ok, he hit me, I hit him, nobody was humiliated, I was mildly surprised(I boxed a lot)as I'm a.oldish b.smoke a lot and have not trained in years. b.I was a ham and eggs boxer. c. he was trying as I fully intended kicking his ass and he knew it. Wind the clock back to me fit and him the same, no chance, I'd have killed him. My good friend boxed for Ireland in the Olympics and when fully fit, he was just too fast, too hard hitting and too slippery to stay in the ring with. They are just on another level.
