Yeah, I refuse to ever throw a punch for pride. Somebody would have to be seriously threatened without an easy escape option. Had that rule in place even when I was the meat head boxing. I’ll tell you what though, some of my golden gloves peers and the ones that were the best among that group in particular, looked like the most unassuming people. You’d never think twice about them if you saw them in a bar but if they took a swing without gloves in a dimly lit space you’d never have known what knocked you the f*ck out and no matter how huge you are, a skull is a skull and a knockout punch is a knockout punch. That more than anything encouraged me to never get in physical altercations. You just don’t know who you’re dealing with.
Yeah, I have a friend, scrawny guy, prob about 130 and cool as hell, who was cold cocked for basically no reason and it broke his ocular and some other stuff. Everyone was covered in blood, guy ran away, bad scene all around. Never did find the guy.
Anyway, my friend moved to SA, started a company with a few associates and just bought a soccer team, so I guess he’s having the last laugh.
totally agree with BS point. Wasn’t sure how the exact discourse went before punches started flying because I was hammered in the cesspool of bodies but my understanding was the instigator was the guy berating the chick and MMA guy (close friend of the bachelor) clocked the dude after he pushed said bachelor.
+1, I totally agree.
I always find the dudes that are our age that go around looking for fights were pussies earlier in life or just have something to prove to themselves. Where I grew up you had to be able to fight otherwise you just wouldn’t have been able to go out anywhere, never looked for anything but had to be ready to get stuck in if required. Now I wouldn’t get involved in anything unless someone smacked me in the face.
man you guys are HARD. I love how HARD everyone is. makes me hard.
