Fights were a rare thing in our school, or in our day. Sure they happened, but no one fought "every day".
20 fights in my entire life, and 15 of those was on the hockey rink during high-school games. (So they dont really count).
Only about 5 in my life off of the ice.
(And it was usually for sticking up for someone else being picked on).
I always did well, but I wasn't a fan... I was more into partying and good times then acting tough, etc...
Little 120 lb. MMA kids today would whip my ass...
