NYE 1999. Got sucker punched by a red neck at a house party. Punched him back and then it go broken up by the partygoers which is good because he probably would have stomped me.
Have you been in a fist fight? When was your last fist fight?

I almost killed the last guy i fought. He got his foot caught in my back pocket and I almost drug him to death.
The last real fight I was in was right before the UK/Tx St game in 2006 (I think that's the right year).
The last "fight" I was in was about 4 years ago with a former employee. He quickly realized he didn't want any and exited the situation as I was being restrained.

Just after this past Christmas.
I was assembling an exercise bench and it kicked my ass.

I'm 38. The last time I got in a fight was in 6th grade.
I'm not sure this counts, but maybe 10 years ago. Some guy attempted to car jack me in Memphis. He reached in my window so I punched him in the face. I floored it and never looked back. Probably didn't do a lot of harm, it's hard to get power sitting down like that.
Wasn’t that the game where it poured cats and dogs over a VERY small area around the stadium (hence flooding the concourse)?
Closest I got was in the high school cafeteria. I walked by a grabbed a few of my "friend's" fries and he backhand punched me in the jaw. If I hadn't been such a stand-up student I probably would have (should have) returned fire and probably got my ass beat.
As a teacher I've been in the middle of two fights. Gotta say I didn't care for it.

I bet she still has nightmares about the names I called her.
Not really a fight, but I was a military policeman. A buddy (also a fellow cop) had gone on stage at the NCO club and commandeered the mike from the band and was entertaining the crowd with Frank Sinatra songs. The shift commander sent me and another guy to take care of the situation. When we got there, he was drunk as a skunk and still singing. We each grabbed an arm and escorted him out of the building with him fighting and screaming. When we got him outside, we obliged him and let him go. He immediately fell to the ground passed out. We put him him the back of a pickup truck, took him back to the barracks and put him to bed.
Not only that, had to carry him up a flight of stairs to do it.so you tucked a grown man into bed?
20 years ago sucker punched at Southland bowling alley bar by some idiot. Never saw it coming but never dropped my beer. His friends separated us before I could do anything.
Other than that, get my ass kicked 2-3 times a week at my golf course.

It POURED before the game very randomly. Then it just stopped and the sun came out. By the time the game started the field was dry. That was also military appreciation day. The crowd went to the concourse and the Army guys just stood in the rain and and danced.
Around Nov 1997. I was at a bar in Lawton OK where my wife (girl friend then) worked as a bartender. A fight broke out between a couple of guys which got the whole place involved. I took one of my buddies out back because he was just too fired up drunk. Not long after, another friend came out and told me my fiancee was trapped inside the girls bathroom by people fighting and she could not get out. I worked my way towards the ladies room and had to move people out of the way to get there. In the process, a beer bottle hit the wall next to me just barely missing me. By the time I got to her, another friend of hers had helped her get out and I took her back to the bar area. I ask her if she was alright and she said yes but looked at me and said "look at your arm". My left arm had teeth marks just barely breaking the skin and had a little bleeding. Had no clue how I got it. That was the last real fight and I threw no punches.
It’s always really shitty grappling and even shittier punching
The other guy was pretty good, though

Closest I came to fisticuffs as an adult was many years ago at a convenience store. Was pumping gas when this Kenny Chesney wannabe came rolling in with his radio blasting for all to hear, walked over to tell him to either turn it down or off because there were people on pay phones(remember those?) outside. By the time I got back to my car, he was eyeball to my waist all huffy and puffy yelling I had no business telling him what to do. His friends came to pull him back and put him in his child car seat but he drove around to where I was still pumping gas and we kept at it. A few others came to my side for backup and he eventually drove off. The wife was not happy with me... but Fvck him.
Many years ago, my uncle Sam had asked me to do a few errands in Turkey.. Me and a couple of buddies were touring the waterfront pavions (bars) in Izmir. They liked gi's because we had money, so they had ladies of the night hustling guys for drinks. This very large lady came to our table and my friends became interested in her because she had very large bazooms. The three of them went to a more private booth. I wondered what they were so interested in that they were buying her so many expensive drinks. After awhile the manager asked them for money and they pointed at me. As soon as he looked away, they got up and ran as hard as they could go. The manager and a couple of his friends started coming at me and they looked mad, so I left in a hurry. I had to go down a flight of stairs. I could feel someone's fingers scrape across the top of my head as he leaned over the railing trying to grab me. Good thing I had the gi haircut. Later I found out my buddies had told the manager that I was holding their money.
These are all entertaining tales but after nearly a decade working in a maximum security federal penitentiary, I’m pretty meh when it comes to fights. Obviously we have to react at work but if one broke out at a bar or in public next to me, I’d probably be like those guys you see in videos eating their sandwich while chaos ensues. I’ve seen some good ones but most are generally 2 on 1 fights where one comes up and smacks the other upside the head with a lock on a belt and both then start kicking or punching the guy until we break it up. There have been some with knives that ended with fatalities but for the most part it’s just simple “policing their own” where we say “hey stop fighting you bunch of dumbasses” and they comply.
1994 stationed in South Korea and at a bar when another soldier was drunk and talking shit. Asked him to go outside and we squared off. I thought I knocked the shit out of him but he got me to the ground and started choking me. Thought i was dead. Don’t remember how I got him off but when I did I took off running through the alleys and got lost and some old man had to show me how to get back.
Funny you say that. Was in the Waffle House off Tates Creek about 15 years ago at 2am sitting with my GF on the counter. The awfullest cat fight I ever saw broke out. 3-4 girls fighting it out, then 2-3 guys joined in as well. The melee was pretty much directly behind us and my gf jumped up on the counter. I kept my left hand out as a blocker for her, but kept eating my food with my right hand. I had just got a gun put in my face a few months before that, so maybe that was why I stayed pretty cool. Needless to say, nothing happened to us and the gf was very impressed with my coolness under pressure. Dessert after WH was not bad that night.
1988 or so .. all my scrapes involved chicks , I didn't exactly respect a guys opinion on whether his GF was his or not his I assume. Had 3-4 of them . Having said that in 2017 I begged a guy 25 years my junior to throw the first punch .. he talked a lot . I invited him to throw the first one . I figured if anything too bad happened my defense would be he started it . And my wife was coming up the road with a loaded pistol , so I had backup .
