In our town, we had two schools: Boxing and Judo...
No matter how many fights or shootouts there were, the Judokas won only a few times...
Boxers were always first, even when outnumbered... as Snowball correctly said about distance, I completely agree with him; generally speaking, Judo is a sport... while Boxing is a struggle...

Perhaps the school just wasn't very good. For example, in my club they also taught us karate, group combat, and boxing.
