Some Days I Hate Being Involved In Boxing

[CGM]

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 think you're unstable TM. As in not stable, probably best that you stay here, posting.

No,if I was unstable,I would have gone down there,and pasted him one.
He's hit on my woman in my house,he's dropped a loaded .44 magnum cylinder not 10 feet from my kid,and he's now screwed with my training regiments for my fighters.
And I havent decked his ass yet,you cant get much more stable then that.
Just because I want to hit the guy,and he's goaded me as well as he could,doesnt mean Im stupid enough to do it,Id rather vent my frustrations on an internet board,and the fact that I didnt rise to the bait like a brook trout is only pissing him off more. Im just releasing frustrations in internet land,rather then doing it in real life land. Some days you just need some kind of vent when your pissed off, my advice,allways take the one that doesnt involve cops

[El Kabong]

So he has hit on your woman in your house and you let your kid hang out with him while he's smashed and weilding a loaded gun??


Dude...come on make some better decisions

You mean like leave his house,which I did,making sure the kid wasnt around before I went back?
Its not like I even suggested,lets go visit Uncle Terry,I think he's been drinking,or said,hey do you have a fully loaded Dirty Harry gun kicking around that I could see

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.

Yeah,Gold and Silver at the Reading invitational in martial arts,the trainer of the only pro in Southern WV,a Toughman and a Rough N Rowdy champ to me credit as well,yeah Id have have been okey dokey,as long as your version of it involves the pokey. Especially since even though he's acting like a douche,he's a local boy,and Im not, he grew up around here,and I moved here 4 years ago.
Even you Bilbo,can do that kind of mental math

Don't know all that to me sounds a bit like Al Bundy and his 4 touchdowns in one game in High School football.

I just found the 2007 Rough n Rowdy championship fight on youtube.

I dunno man it kind of seems a step down from Thunder's trailer park belt.

On the bright side, it was fun watching the Star Wars kid get ktfo.

yes, you would've been okey dokey neutralizing the situation.. there is no mental math to be executed.. as i said in my post that was ignored, it's all about intent.

hahah

My guess is a dude is holding a gun in your face with your kid in the room you aren't really thinking about prison because the system is out to get you. But I guess everything is out to get TM.

Ot would be ha ha
Not
hahah
And you should take remedial reading because I specifically said my kid was in the NEXT room,not IN the room.
Slight difference.
Its the difference between a drunk trying to get in to a pissing contest to re-assert his manhood,and a drunk putting a loaded piece against your temple.
