WHEN TWO FIGHTERS HAVE 3RD FIGHT WHY DO THEY CALL IT THE RUBBER MATCH ??

[Kev]

Simple. Both fighters win a match against each other.

Then comes the rubber match. It's generally been called a rubber match because it can go either way for either player...like a rubber band...hence the rubber match.

The deciding win...that's what I've always thought it meant.

Well thanks for stating the obvious here Mr Wacko

I think it's fair to say we all know a rubber match is the third and deciding fight but why 'rubber match' exactly?

I did like you your rubber band analagy though, you could be onto something there..........

Hey babe...just trying to help.

If the rubber band thing doesn't suit you...just use something else that does...just a rubber...for your head. Richard Noggin.

I'm only messing Wacko, I love your rubber band analagy, it does actually make sense although 'pendulem swing' would be even more accurate.
