Some Days I Hate Being Involved In Boxing

[Trainer Monkey]

You wanna beat up a 53 year-old, slipper wearing, drunk, cripple?

What does that situation have to do with boxing?

Simple,even if a drunk SOB starts waiving around his Dirty Harry gun,spins it twice,drops a fully loaded cylinder on the floor not 10 feet from your son,and then gets irrationally angry with you,if your trained in any martial art,but especially boxing,and you give him the ass whupping he is so desperately begging for at that point, I will bet you dollars to doughnuts whose ass is going to be sitting in the pokey trying to make bail in the next hour.
Hint:Not the drunken asshole.
And as far as Diz's question,when he's sober,he's normally a pretty allright dude,so I thought nothing of going over there with my kid,actually it was my kids idea to go a calling. The fact that I know he normally has a bunch of half cases of Bud Ice stacked next to his fridge,and I didnt see any,and I also saw a couple of roaches in his ashtray,probably should have been a hint and a half. Im wondering in the non light of a new day(its 6:30 AM here,the suns not up yet) if its just the painkillers they give him for his back just dont agree with him.
Oh well,I didnt pound him the mush,which he was really begging for,but it wouldnt have been a good idea to do it. But in one half hour setting you dont wave around a .44 gun and a police issue metal flashlight if you arent begging for fight. Its not like I said,"Do you have an enormous gun that I might have seen in Dirty Harry,that I could see,for no good reason,and by the way,could you prove its loaded,my kids in the next room,so Im sure he'll be impressed"

So what you're saying is - the situation made you hate boxing because if you wasn't involved in boxing (still refuse to name any fighters you deal with? ) you would have duffed-up a drunk cripple?

err.. whether you're involved in boxing or not, bashing up cripples - especially drunken, slipper wearing ones - don't look too good dude

If your a drunk slipper wearing cripple,picking fights doesnt look good,dude.
Personal responsibility and all that,I start thumping someone in the chest,I should expect them to thump back

Actually, a drunken 53 year-old cripple thinking he can give you a slap is funny

He must think you're a plum

Next time threaten him to see how he reacts. Best check his finger aint on the trigger first mind

I have a solution. Join the police force then beat him up and everyone will be believe you that he deserved a beat down

I thought TM was going to say something about Kid Thunder.

But after reading the story, I'm with a few others... not really a boxing story per se, or one that involves boxing at all. Just some sort of drunken hillbilly shit with a gun.

Not a classic anecdote, really. And frankly, a bit of a mislead. Should have been titled something more like, "Some Days I Hate Living In West Virginia with all this White Trash."

Not at all. I'm with Trainer on this one. If you are trained in the art of pugilism, or some other martial art, then if push comes to shove your training will be held against you in a court of law. Makes perfect sense. Your training puts extra legal onus on you to avoid physical conflict with the "general public" as much as is reasonably possible.

Bingo,when you go up the ranks in the martial arts,any martial art including boxing,you should be warned,that if you deck the SOB,you might be held more accountable then the other guy.
Its assumed you have more control and more training,so you could have avoided laying him out.
I know thats horseshit,but thats the way it is,I mean anyone whose fought in any martial art knows you take the shot thats there,you dont have time to be a discerning shopper,but that isnt the way the court will see it.

I don't mean to be a prick but you did allow for that situation to come to fruition. Now you didn't make the slipper wearing cripple drink all day or wave his gun around and act like a moron but you did allow for your kid to be in that environment.

Fenster, this might be my favorite post of all time. If laughter could be expressed any better than LMAO, then I would do it. Haha, great post. Legitamately laughing right now.

, I miss TM. It didn't matter what the topic was he would always post something that left you scratching your head. The most clueless/arrogant/delusional person I've ever come across. Legend.

[Kirkland Laing]

The thread about his wife's boxing career was the best. See your missus got sparked again TM. She was fighting a top contender, you just wait, she's going to flatten her next opponent!

Chalk and Cheese. There's a world of difference between knowing you're nuts and not knowing.
