If you walk through life in a fighting pose with your fists balled up and ready to strike, someone, someday, somewhere, is going to want to test your mettle.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have arm-wrestled here and there... guys seem to want to test my strength.
I am ready to fight according to the rules, and I ask for the opportunity to prove myself.
I walk around - people know who I am. I've got friends. I can make ends meet. I grew up around people who have been hustling from the start, so I think I've got a bright little future ahead of me - especially if I don't fight. Why would I want to go out there and fight with somebody, get my face punched and kicked. It's not my idea of a good time.
If you begin feeling beaten, you will achieve nothing. If you fight, you will perhaps have a chance of achieving something.
When you have a fighter willing to do that, when he is seriously hurt and in pain but still fights, you've got a dangerous man on your hands.
People ask me about fighting in real life and, honestly, it wouldn't look as graceful as it does in film and TV.
Usually in fist fights you get punched in the face.
I think any fight you get into, you've got to shine and show that you deserve to be up there.
Guess in my brain I have a figurative 'man card' that's got certain punches that need to be punched.
I'm a believer in getting punched in the face. I know it sounds cliched, but to me, fighting is a metaphor for life.
