As far as I understand, a successful fight is mainly being to the first one to commit to it. I might stand up to this guy but in a fight lose miserably because I’m unlikely to hit first nor to follow up sufficiently nor would I even have a plan for inflicting enough violence. As a soldier I’m sure he has all of the above
I was a bouncer for 10 years. This is pretty much correct but its also about intensity, if someone starts off with anything lower than 11 out off 10 thats the opening.
Street fights arent boxing matches, theres no rules. You swing at me in public I assume you are intending to kill me and act accordingly until you back off or cant hurt me anymore.
