No the idea in western boxing is not to get hit. The reason boxers get hit sometimes is because it is hard not too. Reality

It's really not hard to avoid a punch, if your reaction time is up to par. The point he was trying to make is that the training in western boxing involves enduring punishment.. but in reality, that is the wrong way to handle confrontation. The sporting aspect, it is far too difficult to not get hit obviously, and therefore you develope habits. You misunderstood him.
