As lame and cliche as us older guys here seem, I am with Captain on this one. Even though Captain used to trash my dads fence every time he fought....but I digress...
I fought A LOT in school. Probably once a month, at least. And through all those fights, never was there a swarming like that. It was alway one on one. I was in scenarios where it was just me, and a whole group of other guys, where I was fighting one of them. When the fight was done, it was done. When you quit, tapped out.. whatever you wanna call it, it was done. There was a certain honour to it. Yeah, buddy would have sat on your chest or vice versa, and talked some crap for a minute or two, but you wouldn't throw haymaker sucker punched from behind.
I had a fight in High School, where me and a guy from a rival hockey team, had an epic brawl, I knocked out 4 of his teeth, he trashed my eye where it is still a little droopy to this day, and after all was said and done, we got suspended, walked home together all bandaged up, and his mom, called mine for a referral to a her friend that was a dentist, not to threaten a lawsuit. That was only 20 years ago... it is weird how things have changed so much in a short time.
