Sharla i have nowhere near the inner strength or patience u do...I found myself in a similar situation as you last nite. This big guy called james with a lil less expieience than me wanted me on the outside so i said thats fine an i slipped and parried a while. But then he got frustrated and he elbowed me....Now if it was u u probably would have taken it in ur stride and got on with it....but no...how do i react...BANG bodyshot BANG down goes James
