I haven't been in a toe to toe brawl ever as an adult. But last winter I was out in NYC with a friend who was wasted. He was LOOKING for a fight and couldn't find one. Almost like that scene in Fight Club. We were outside a bar downtown and he starts calling this short guy "shorty". Then in Hell's Kitchen starts up calling this overweight guy "chubs".
Was interesting to see the reactions. The guys were like "what'd you say?" when they clearly heard him. They were just so hesitant to throw fists. Which is understandable.
Being the more sober one, my role would've been to squash anything before it started. But my friend clearly deserved to take a punch to the face.
That said, I am fascinated with ordinary everyday street fights.
And I will say that the youtube street fight vids from the UK seem to be a lot better than they US. Is boxing taught in any phys ed classes over there?- There aren't a lot of fist fights in NYC because things escilate and people are afraid to get shot... or sued. Try that noise in a hick town.BK
