Fighting your Brother...

Are you the oldest brother? As teenagers my little brother always wanted to fight me, but I always held back. If as an adult you would freely fight your brother then you have problems

 

I've sparred with my brother, but again, that's training, not actually pounding him. I felt bad when I cracked him with a jab and his nose started bleeding, he's a bleeder (or was then) so I don't think in a professional match I could do it. Not even now as an amateur could I, I think if we ended up in a bracket against each other, as in actually matched to fight, one of us would probably step aside.

 

Why? I'm not going to fight my blood, the person I'm most closely related to, and probably the person who knows how to fight me the best anyway. It would be a blast ***** trying to fight my brother, so it's convenient we're too close to do it.

 

so what happens when you hit him hard that it causes permanent damage? you become champ right?...what i mean is, i'd have no problem if it wasnt my brother since i wont have to face my family all the time and we'd be looking at my beaten brother and there's something wrong with him.

 

Except you're punching them in the face, trying to render them unconscious for at least 10 seconds, or at least too damaged to continue.

 

Same here, me and brother mess around, sparring etc (our mum got annoyed last week because we bruised each other), but I could never actually fight him, I'd rather let him knock me out while my hands where at my side than fight him.

 

We spar and we work each other and know what the other needs to work on; but that's with headgear and 18 oz gloves. It's completely different wearing 12 or 10oz gloves in a sanctioned (amateur) match, much less professionally.

 

No, maybe because I've boxed since I was 6. And everytime I go into the ring, I go in thinking win, but if the opportunity were to present itself, I would go for a stoppage, or try to force it. I couldn't do that against my brother.
