Who is the “Tavern Brawl” “Street fight” “Straightener” GOAT here on Classic? What’s your case?

That is not a bad rule, but it is a hard one to learn.

A judge can't kick you in the head, while you are lying on the ground.

 

I could see a small city’s worth of people lining up to punch him.

 

No kidding. I copped a couple kicks to the head while I was once dealing with said kicker’s (very deserving) mate. How deserving was he? I decided to ignore the kicks & keep my focus on the POS underneath me, because I knew help for what was above wouldn’t be far away. But I had a couple of days afterward of very bad neck pain. Fortunately, nothing worse, but it’s a risk alright.

 

I do think that Holmes is the sleeping giant in this case. Spent a long time wrestling, playing football, and is also a strong and quick stand up fighter who is already in contention for the status of heavyweight GOAT to begin with. Then you give him the opportunity to thumb, wrestle, kick, and do just about anything else needed to win, and I see no reason why Larry ISN'T the man to pick.

 

He's a mean ol' sumbitch, too.

 

I wouldn't be among them

 

James J Jeffries or Jung Koo Chang.

 

Yes, given the choice of an adversary grabbing either my nuts or my wrists, squeezing and yanking for all they're worth, I know which one I'd chose, and it wouldn't be my nuts.

 

Correct. Real world no rules the person that wins is the one who acts most decisively, acts the quickest and is prepared to do the most. Biting and gouging scares the shite out of ordinary people.

 

Toga Fifita aka Haku/Meng case closed.

 

Ken Norton in full Mandingo beast mode.

He’ll rip your jugular out with his teeth.

 

Consider it a pick em.

 

Not very hard if you think wrists are more painful Jan.

 

Kicks in the nuts would be horrific. I've had cricket balls hit me hard in the box and even with the shield it's terrible. I put down an opening bat for quite a few minutes and i was medium pace swing. I knew the guy and he loved the sledge so i couldn't resist the age old classic "i hope you've already had kids, James".

I didn't have a lot of street fights (saw a lot) but one in the pub this guy charged me and led with a kick that hit my inside right thigh. It did nothing for him with adrenaline pumping and such. The next week i had a decent bruise for days and certainly knew i'd been kicked. I was telling a good mate about and he informed me that just a couple of weeks earlier the same guy had connected a bloke with a kick in the stones straight up in a fight and it was all over, he belted the crap out of him as he couldn't recover. So it all became crystal clear. That's the thing, if you get connected with something like that it's over. If he was a handful of inches more accurate he would have smashed me. The nuts and the eyes would be the weakest spots for mine. Kicking the nuts is obviously a shockingly dirty thing to do but some do play it that way.
