I was Forced to Take someone out in a STREET FIGHT !

Ok here's the full story

Went out this past weekend with two mates. It's the end of Uni (College) examinations so is a good time to go out, lots of people out. We went to this pretty trendy area where there are heaps of hot babes. The down side is there are also heaps of spoilt rich kids there. Anyway we had a great time at the first place we went to, having heaps of fun, chatting to lots of babes. Then we left at 11pm to goto the second Club (first place closed at midnight, it's really more of a pub). There was already a big queue outside, everyone was lining up. Anyway these two guys starting having a go at one of my mates . One of these two guys was pretty big, the other was a fair bit smaller but as is always the case the smaller guy had the bigger mouth but they were both being very aggressive. This mate of mine is a skinny guy, doesn't train or anything (he's a pool player lol), he wouldn't hurt a fly. At first it was just the verbals. I was trying to calm things down "calm down fellas, no one wants any trouble" etc etc. Then the verbals turned to pushing, two of them pushing my mate, then the big guy hit my mate hard on the jaw,as soon as that happened i stepped in and hit the big guy with a beautiful full power right hook right in the middle of his face, he stumbled back totally out of it. By now my blood was boiling, it takes a lot to set me off, i have a high tolerance but once i've off, it's go time. I was just about to get stuck into the smaller guy, you should have seen his face, he was totally shitting himself ! he had just seen his bigger mate taken out with one punch! Now at this point a Cop pulled me off him before i could get any techniques off.

Now to be fair, the Cop was very cool, he didn't manhandle me, He just pulled me far enough away then told me firmly to calm down. Once he saw i was in control, he let me go. He interviewed me and my mates, his colleague interviewed the other lot. The Cop took out details but he knew we didn't start the trouble so he was cool. He told my mate he could press charges if he wanted by going to his local cop shop the next day. By the end of things, we were laughing and joking with the cop.

anyway i was mad that these idiots couldn't be reasoned with and it had to come to blows. I'm also a big scared of what i would have done to them if the Cops weren't around. My adrenaline was so high at that point, i don't think i would have stopped in a hurry ! I could see myself doing something really stupid (think mouth on a pavement/brick scene from American History X copied in the last series of the Sopranos).

I haven't been in a street altercation for a number of years, i'm usually very good at avoiding trouble, this time i had no choice, none at all. it is the first time i have hit someone hard since i've been doing boxing, when my fist hit his face, it felt like a piece of fruit getting squished.

Overall, i think myself and my mates came out as well as we could have, my mate has a sore jaw but that's it and i didn't get arrested !

Still why are there so many morons in this world ?

I dunno some people are just gay. Are you seen as the fighter amongs your friends??

You say heaps alot. That's the only relevent thing I can add.

your lack of control should be addressed. good fighters don't black out and rage when they fight because another good fighter will end up taking advantage of it. i could understand a blind rage if a family member was just beaten to death or something similar, but because your weak friend was being picked on?

if you're going to go to places where that stuff is expected, then expect it.....that's the world we live in. i avoid bars and clubs for the most part because of that. nowadays, fighting leads to lawsuits and jail time and neither is attractive to me.

i've got 5 brothers and all are younger than i am, so i totally understand the "defending the weak" thing, but at the same time, the weak are subject to hardship in any walk of life across the board.....the simple fix is don't be weak. don't run your mouth if you're too weak to do much about it. when you're weak, you should have a super high tolerance for verbal abuse. was his courage a bit inflated because he knew you were there?

control, control, control

Where booze in involved, there will be fighting. Just the way things are.

Thankfully I've avoided fights for a long time. They're always over dumb shit too...

When someone attacks you or a friend, it's go time. Period. You knock em out or stomp em out until they can't fight you anymore. I'd rather spend a week in the slammer than a week in the hospital.

Of course, not fighting in the first place is better. But when you do fight, make sure you're going to win.

the whole rage thing is normal when you've been traiing to fight ut haven't, you know that you can drop a guy but you haven't had the chance to yet so you start to get a little anxious. then when the chance comes and you finally do hit a guy, the adrenaline just kicks in and all that anxiousness comes out. as sick as it may sound, hitting people and fighting is an enjoyable thing. once you hit a guy and it feels good, you want it more and more. kind of like a virgin with sex, once they finally get it, they want it again and again and again

Someone hitting a friend/ sibling would be the only thing that would get me involved in a street fight. I can take any sort of stupid aggro shit you throw at me but if someone's doing the same to a friend it just pisses me off. Maybe its some sort of chivalrous instinct where you want to protect other people. I definitely know what you mean though.

I know exactly what you mean, I can take anything and drop it, all of my fights have been because my friends have been attacked or verbally assaulted.

Except one time I was attacked after someone put a cigarette out on my back, it didn't end well since all my friends were outside waiting for me and there were 6 of them, one of me. I've avoided fighting before that, but now especially, it's just not worth the charges that may be pressed or the injury you may incur. Fights aren't the way they used to be, it's all about how many people you can get to outnumber someone.
