Im proud of the kid, you have to stand up for yourself. But like most people have been saying; fighting isn't something you should do unless you have to. Three things of advice. 1) If your serious about defending yourself learn to use your legs, saved my ass in a fight once. 2) Go for body shots and not the guy's face, less likely to injure yourself and its more effective. 3) Wear the other guy out, act like a boxer and make him make a mistake. Ive only been in 3 or 4 fights and im no fighting expert but those three things help me from getting my ass kicked.
