Oops! Well what do you know? To elaborate on my first comment though,I’m of a size and have a condition where fighting can lead to serious or crippling injury. I can’t afford to let him get off more than the swing that starts it. I have to continue until I’m sure he’s not getting back up any time soon. That’s why I’ll do anything to avoid it. Run, grovel, almost anything.

The best thing is to avoid the fight if at all possible. If he insists though, a kick or a knee to the balls or a chop to his throat ends things nicely. I’m not going to risk serious injury to “fight like a man”. I gave him every chance to walk away…….

“I’ll kill a man in a fair fight. Or if I think he’s going to start a fair fight”.

Best wisdom on fighting ever. Not to be taken literally.

The overhand right is the most useless punch known to man. Learn to throw a proper right straight or even a proper jab. If you throw an overhad right at me, even behind a jab, I simply slip outside and go to work on your liver. I walk away smiling, and you wish I had killed you to put you out of your missery. Any boxer or kick boxer will tell you keep your punches coming straight down the pipe, and you leave your defenses in tact. The overhad right really works great for John Wayne, sadly my script writters havn’t ensured that I win all my fights.

@ One

You’re my kind of guy!

I subscribe to the Bruce Lee philosophy of combat outside the ring. Close the distance, straight blast down the center line with straight punches to get your opponent moving backward. Get the Muay Thai clinch and then work the opponent with knees and elbows or a head butt. Then leave immediately. Avoid fights whenever possible, but if you have to go, finish it as quickly as possible. My idea of a “fair fight” is one where I walk away and the other guy is on the ground bleeding.

People should avoid fighting at all cost.
That said, Why hurt your hand or risk getting hepatitus from skinning your knuckles on some unreasonable idiots face? Pick up the nearest weapon and pulverize him, remember, you didnt want to fight so its his own damn fault when he pushes you around. I always wear a hat so I can blind my opponent before I put my steel toes to his shin then when he bends over pull his shirt over his head and knee him into the lullabye. Then of course when he’s knocked out, take his coat, hat and shoes and throw them in the dumpster. Thats what unreasonable people deserve.
