Those roid monkeys aren't going to be able to hurt him at all, swinging wild hay-makers at him would result in a quick knockout, you clearly do not understand/have much experience in fighting because the gap between the trained and untrained is so vast that you can't make statements like this credibly. Look at how much the training helped Mcrgattan win his fight yesterday, he looks so calm and composed and generally comes out unscathed because he trains how to fight properly and his skill lets him dominate people. Lucic might not be the best fighter in the NHL but there are few people on the street that could hang with him, just like any other sport; can't jump in a formula one car and try to hang with Schumacher, it's impossible.

One problem with your theory here is that every other Ed Hardy wearing popped-collared d-bag "trains" at an MMA gym these days. I blame the fact that there's now an MMA gym on every other street corner for the huge rise in general d-baggery in clubs in general. Granted most of these guys will get tuned up pretty bad by a professional fighter, but amateur boxing history aside I don't think that Lucic fits into that category. He might spend a few hours a week in a boxing gym during the off-season, but I doubt he finds the time during the regular season. There's more than a few guys out there that have enough training to land a lucky punch and take a guy like Lucic down, and for the vast majority of them the infamy being the guy to do it would gain them is more than worth the risk of getting dropped.
