    We used to put on boxing gloves and beat the shit out of each other in our front yards growing up. 

    We’d have tournaments. Neighbors would place wages. 

    Nobody thought it was strange. It was just kids playing. 
    We did the same thing.

    One of the neighborhood kids had a couple pairs of 16oz gloves. All the kids (the who weren’t pansies of course) would meet up after school at someone’s house and beat the shit out of each other. Round robins, last man standing, and grudge matches. Those would often just end up being straight up fist fights.

    Growing up tin a small, rural town in a neighborhood with a lot of boys, no one thought twice about. Hell, some of the parents encouraged it. Wouldn’t fly today. Different times.


    @jerparker20 vs. @dankind charity match?


    Gloves or fists?
    Duct tape and bits of broken glass, maybe some thumb tacks?

    The people aren't as civilized as they once were.

    And the Human Fund needs our blood, sweat and tears. :lol:


    I like your style. I’d be down for duct tape and crushed glass. Now will this throw down occur in a ring of fire, a large pit in the ground, steel cage, or a trailer park in the Florida panhandle?

    Just a matter of time when some husband gets whooped by his wife in front of the kids or a brother gets whooped by his sister when the parents aren’t home that they go for the gun on the nightstand and salve their wounded pride. ‘Murica.

    Anyone play cigarettes? Where, usually an older kid would pin you down by sitting on your stomach, your arms pinned by their knees and they rap on your chest with a pointy knuckle until you could name 10-15-20 different brands of cigarettes. I was up to 30 or so before I figured I had to outrun them.

    I also was held by my legs and forced to walk on my hands until my arms gave out and I face planted. This was particularly a challenge when there were mud puddles about. That stuff was fine but if we ever squared up to fist fight or fight for real, all the parents came out of their houses and everyone got grounded. Fighting was only for serious breaches like stealing, stepping in on someone’s girl or offending or picking on their sister.
    That sounds more logical. We fought over everything.  (Or, nothing....)

    Maybe because the Vietnam War had been raging and some kids from the neighborhood didn’t come back and some that did weren’t right after they returned. Or maybe because my parents were members of SDS, were anti-war protest organizers and had FBI files?
    Could be any of those things.

    We did boxing gloves for a while.

    We would usually duke it out over sports though.  Made you try just a little bit harder to beat that person.

    As for Fight Club?  Why not?  Nothing wrong w someone knowing how to defend themselves.

    Agree that fights were around yard football, baseball, or basketball games probably a very high percentage of time.  Too easy to get carried away.

    Haha.  In basketball games it was always about foul calls/non calls.  Those could get ugly....

    We played strictly blacktop. Fouling was not a thing unless you decked somebody or flagrantly grabbed them or shoved them to the ground.

    So when I made the freshman team in high school is when I finally learned that I was not technically a very good baller despite having ruled the blacktop for a good five years prior.

    I did not try out for JV next season. That shit was too strict and frankly boring vs. the blacktop.

    Funny thing is that I did get recruited to play for my college's freshman basketball team because my college's athletics department (save for baseball and soccer; you know, white kid stuff) was awful.

    We called it "animal Ball", lol!  We couldn't play unless there was contact.

    Had a buddy that the harder he was hit, the sicker his shot selection was that would go in.  He couldn't score unless there was a mugging.

    We did play blacktop in the summer.  It was brutal and because most of us played organized ball together we tried to call fouls.  It was dumb.  Nobody wants to admit to fouls and everybody wants to claim they were fouled.  When you didnt get the call then you escalated until at some point someone was wiped out/bloodied/and came back swinging.

    We sucked as basketball players but we were more real about fighting than most of the actual NBA guys.  We actually did have a proper punch up.  (In fairness, we were pretty small.  6 and 7 foot men should not be hitting other people.  Very different from skinny 14 year olds trading punches with other 12-18 year old kids.)

    Funny how watching tv makes you contemplate but just saw an ad for MMA training. It’s violent. It’s kapow! It’s like, “we’ll fight!” 

    Except, except, except, it’s all white 14 year olds with mullets. ‘Murica.
