Personally, I think EVERY guy should be in a couple of fights in his lifetime. I just assumed every guy boxed some in his younger days but I guess not after talking to people after high school.
I agree with this to an extent, I think it's good to get in a few fights growing up as a kid into your teenage years. But, now that I'm a grown adult, I know what kind of damage can be done in a street fight. A couple weekends a go I witnessed a yoked out white dude with tats all over his neck, cold knock out a mexican guy, and kick him full force twice in the face/temple.
I didn't want to look at the guy's face, but I'm sure it wasn't good, eventually an ambulance came and took the guy to the hospital. You might walk away with a black eye, bloody lip, or swollen bruised face, or you might get your teeth knocked out, jaw broken, or worst case brain damage from kicks to the temple.
Factor that reality in, and consider hospital bills, losing your job, or getting arrested. Shit you might win the fight, fuck the guy up, and get arrested fleeing the scene. Next thing you know you're sitting in jail, gotta pay bail bondsmen, lawyers, and possibly hospital bills. I might sound like a pussy to some, but it ain't worth it in my book.
I suggest guys take some boxing or martial arts classes, and do their sparring on the mat. If you really want to fight and test your skills, then amateur MMA bouts are pretty much everywhere now a days.
