How many you have gotten into full blown fist fights as adults?
What were the circumstances and consequences?
I never have. I think the last fight I was in was in 7th grade.
I have a friend who joined the Coast Guard (was stationed at the Columbia River and eventually got discharged because of injuries he sustained surfing a certain left point break in the vicinity) and he told me he and his mates would go out and deliberately try to start fights at bars. For fun.
Just wondering...
I use to fight AAU boxing, and Karate tourneys from about 9 to mid 30s. So many I can't even count them, Won AAU Karate State, Regional, and National Championship in 95'
In HS I ran around with a bunch of guys in ATL (one world ed knows them I bet) that liked to look for fights and had quite the rep for fighting. I tried to avoid fights, only fought in defense....never offense.
Last "out of a ring" real world fight I was probably 25 (52 now)
Some drunk almost ran over my buddy and his pregnant wife one night. He stumbled out of the car and proceeded to call my buddy and his wife the "N" word talking a bunch of crap.
My buddy had a broken leg at the time and was on crutches, and the guy was still trying to fight him. my buddy wasn't backing down. I got in the middle and tried to break it up and the guy sucker punched me and I beat the living $hit out of him. Left him laying on the ground (didn't finish him off although I wanted to) and walked away. That was the end of that. Saw him a few days later with a broken nose and two black eyes and he didn't even know who I was. That's how drunk he must have been......driving btw.
I try to avoid fighting at all cost UNLESS you hit or swing on me....then no promises what happens next. I don't go out to bars or anything where I may run into idiots looking to fight. I still Box and spare as much as I can with my two boys. But brawls are avoided. People are too wussy to fight now a days, they just want to shoot you now.
And as far as guys like your buddy, If you go out looking for fights you will eventually run into someone that knows how to fight a lot better than you and you will get your a$$ beat. Especially if you are drinking and they aren't.
