Okay if it's not worth fighting over FIGHT ANYWAY because I once tried to turn away from a fight and nearly got my neck broken I couldn't walk for two days it hurt so bad.

Okay a sucker punch is if you start the fight by attacking the other guy from behind or from broadside while he's buisy or something.
A perfect example is a friend of mine said he was talking to this one guy's girlfriend and the guy came up and slammed a fist into his back because he thought he was trying to hit on his girl. That is a sucker punch.


And this might just be me but if you get within 18 inches of me and you are looking threatening I'm gonna take you down before you can attack me because if you are within 18 inches and you are looking threatening you can attack before I can react properly. Never let the other guy land a strike first, if you know you can block it or deflect it go ahead and let him throw the first attack so you have the "I was only defending myself" excuse but if you know he can beat you in a square fight and he is coming at you like he is about to start one....take him down first.

My point is that too many people are bringing knives and automatic weapons to a fist fight. Almost every week here in the Tampa area I hear about some idiot who got into an argument or a fight, goes to his car, then pulls out an automatic weapon and starts bLasting people away in the parking lot. As a matter of fact, in the past couple of weeks 2 people have been killed because some idiot got into an argument, but instead of getting a weapon, used their cars as weapons and ran these people over. Come on, people, if you're in a fight and losing, be man enough to lose with grace. No bar room brawl is worth getting killed over.

Definitely.
