I've seen MEN fight.

I am sure in any society there is a certain element of cowards that will stab a man in the back or kick a man that is down. If they are especially brutal perhaps they go on to become cage fighters

Or when i was taking jkd, "Yeah, that guy can punch, but how well would he do with a dislocated shoulder?"

I do have a george foreman grill and that things is awesome.
it goes both ways mate. Put one of these louts into a ring and make them fight by the Queensbury rules, and they would be taken apart. But someone schooled in boxing into a fight where it is considered "sporting" to
dip your gloves in resin and broken glass, and I'm sure youre right, they'd have a rough time.

That said, whatever martial art you know... I wouldnt back many people against George Foreman in a no hold bars fight when he was in his prime. He was a monster. Even in his late 40's and hopelessly slow and fat, he could punch with the force of a car wreck.
