Are You a Boxer or a Street-fighter?

A boxer trains for years to learn all the moves, so he knows precisely when to employ them.

A street-fighter relies on his intuition, and improvises in the moment.

A boxer prepares diligently for the big event. He studies his opponent, learns his weaknesses. He leaves nothing to chance.

For a street-fighter, the event comes to him. His opponent is of no consequence. He takes it as it comes.

A boxer knows his boundries. He'll take chances, push the line, but will never cross it. To cross it results in disqualification and a sullied reputation.

A street-fighter will do anything to achieve victory, regardless of reputation. He believes he has nothing to lose.

Regardless of personal feelings (and despite the requisite trash-talk), a boxer will always shakes hands with his opponent following a bout. He shows respect.

A street-fighter is powered by emotion alone. For him, the fight is almost always personal. He will spit in the face of his opponent if given the chance.

When the houselights come up for the final time, the boxer adapts. He's becomes a trainer, a commentator, a spokesman, a mentor. His brand lives on.

No one remembers the street-fighter.
