The UK's culture being how it is, this looks like it may have been closer to a drunk uncle problem than boxing is really set up for, but that is arguable. Any thoughts?

Harkon72 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Good for him! My father boxed in the Army too, and his father before him. My Grandfather was formidable with his back to the wall well into his seventies. Look to the far mountain and see all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I don't think there was anything wrong with Mr. Cokeley's approach. He heard a disturbance, made a very civil request, and the got attacked. He even stated he was going to go call police, but seeing more coming, he took the right direction and floored the guy. Could it have gone worse? Sure, but any situation can. Who knows if the drunk would have stopped once he started? Good for Mr. Cokeley, I say. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
