Steve, what is GG? Yeah that is the bad part of boxing (getting hit). I’ve always liked Mike Tyson’s quote, “everyone has a great plan until they get punched in the face.”
Wise words.That’s why my father taught me to fear the guy that is sitting there quietly and not to worry about the loud mouth.
So you shouldn't fight to defend yourself if you know how to defend yourself? America is so stupid.
It doesn't mean you can't defend yourself. I means that if you can kill or permanently injure someone with your bare hands, you should show some restraint.
I don't think the guy should get sued, but he probably shouldn't have shattered Jones' orbital bone and potentially blinded him either.
Converse to my experience, friend of mine was women's GG champ in Iowa decade or so ago. Some guy head butt her in a bar and broke her nose so she beat him so bad he needed facial reconstructive surgery.I know it's 2021 and people all feel like they have to take one side or another but there is no good guy in this situation. Jones was a total douche but the self defense angle goes away when you're on top of someone beating them to a pulp and they aren't fighting back. This guy never felt threatened, he wanted to fight, he knew what skills he possessed and waited for the right time to make his move, Jones walked right in to it.

Her response to the judge asking why she didn't stop was how would she know that he wouldn't pick up a chair and attack her with it? All charges were dropped and the guy was the son of the sheriff of the town. I think there's a little more leeway in this than most people are giving.
Just curious which guy are you talking about here?I agree but I also don't buy any angle that this guy is a victim. He was willing and ready to fight. I don't think he should get sued but he's also not some innocent guy in all of this. Of course, this is just based off of what we've seen, I think whatever happened before the video is probably more telling about what happened than that clip.

Exactly, that's why the phone was out recording. Something happened and as normal anymore, people pull out their phones to capture what happens next.I think whatever happened before the video is probably more telling about what happened than that clip.

I mean he was basically asking his brother if he should or not. That's responsible in my opinion. Dude pushed him and verbally antagonized it, not sure how you could call the guys who lost victims.The guy that won...

It was probably the latter, but they will say it was the former in court.I actually think he was asking his brother which one he wanted. Which is pretty badass.
