Boxing is very important for street fighting. In my view if you want to become a good and well rounded fighter you need boxing skills.

My point exactly. Last night i went to the GFC that was held here in Ohio. It was like GJJ-Ohio vs. GJJ-Brazil. There were some good fights. i just felt that alot of the fighters needed more boxing skills. but also in that respect...i feel that the fighter has to be a real boxer first and then go learn BJJ.
