re: How many good, old-fashioned fist-fights have you been in?

Bunches as a kid if you count a few punches thrown devolving into a wrestling match. Not a one since I was 17 or so.

I boxed golden gloves from 10-12 and enjoyed the hell out of it..was not very good but neither was anyone at that age. I stopped about the time our coach, the county sherriff, expected everyone to box him without headgear. I was more scared of that man than I was a bear...and had seen many of those matches. He did not subscribe to the idea that adults should take it easy on kids LOL. He had a good point...as we got older any fist fights we got in would not include headgear or rules or an opponent taking it easy on us. Broke many of us from sucking egg....
