Kid loses fight like a boss!
This isn’t your typical school bathroom fight; at least, not how it ends. Fighting in a school bathroom is never a good idea, but if it must be done, this might be one good way to end it.
It’s clear from the video that the loser of the fight didn’t have much experience, in fact, it’s quite possible that he’d never been in a fight before in his life. At least he ended their beef like a gentleman.
How to fight like a gentleman:
Pushing aside Gandhi’s oft-quoted line that an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind, there will come a time in every man’s life when he is confronted with the threat of a fight. What you do next says a lot about your character and can have serious consequences, not least for your health. Here are our 4 rules to making it out the other side unharmed and unashamed.
1. Play it cool
Fighting fire with fire is rarely advisable, and any self-defence guru worth his salt will tell you that almost all fights can be defused early on. A calm voice, non-threatening body language (open fists, a step backwards and loose shoulders) and decisive non-combatant statement will dowse the temper of all but the most psychotic of combatants. A cool head and the strength to control the situation and walk away will serve you best in every situation.
2. Brains over brawn
Judge your situation carefully; a steroid fuelled meathead is unlikely to be beaten by a war of words, but if your opponent happens to be a fast-talking dandy then a sharp tongue and quick wit can swiftly settle the argument.
3. Be gracious
Carl Froch’s defeat of George Groves should have been a humiliating exposure of Groves’ incessant pre-fight arrogance and a glorious vindication of Froch’s world-class status. But their respective grace, in victory as in defeat, silenced any jeering. In the words of Cameron Conaway, from his ‘Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet’, fights begin and end with handshakes.
4. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
If you’re forced to use your fists, make sure you know how to use them. Keep a cool head, move fast and hit him where it hurts – throat, kidneys, jaw. If you’re not used to heavy manual labour or a regular at a boxing gym then use your fists sparingly, you’ll find your elbows are surprisingly lethal, just like the winner of this fight in the video.[source : thegentlemansjournal.com]
