Some Days I Hate Being Involved In Boxing

[Fenster]

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.

Make it more fun,he must think Im dumber then dogshit
I have my boxers do laps in front of the gym to warm up,now the lap takes them past this douchebags house
He comes out and yells at them,"I dont want you doing that,and if he doesnt like it,he can come down here and talk to me"
Now I know what the drunken bastard is up to,if Im on his property,he's got a built in excuse,"Well he's trained,I thought he was threatening me,and here I am a poor cripple on medication"
And trust me,if he so much as swung,as long as there were witnesses,he wouldnt swing twice. The difference between the two of us is,Id do just enough to diffuse the situation,he's itching for an excuse that .44 caliber penis extension.
But its still frustrating, my animal instinct is to go down there and turn his face in to a slimy goo. But as a Buddhist and a martial artist,Im not allowed to do that,its against the rules. If he swung at me in public,it would be a two shot fight,I hit him,he hits the floor. But one of the rules of truly being a warrior is to not allow yourself to be goaded in to foolishness by an inferior combatant.

I must admit this thread comes across like one those classic 'You best hold me back guys, else I'm going to kill him, hold me back, HOLD ME BACK!!!, ........Damn he was lucky you held me back' type stories.

As for your pugilistic skills meaning you'd get into trouble for hitting him, I think this applies more to actual professional fighters whose bodies are lethal weapons, rather than a guy who hangs a punch bag in his garage. You'd could have hit him and been fine.

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!
