As long as you shut him up it doesn't matter.
My first fight was against a guy with a f*ng steel plate in his head. I had no idea before the fight, otherwise there wouldn't have been one. It was over protecting my younger friend who was getting picked on. The dude showed up with *no lie* 40 something people. There were about 20 cars just from them. 4 of my friends were there. Long story short, after 3 minutes of punching and getting punched he drilled me twice in the nose and I said "enough".
After that, though, the guy was cool and his friends said they weren't going to bother me anymore. Matter of fact, I've talked to the guy a couple times after that and it's all good. I guess I gained their "respect" for fighting him because he apparently was the town BA. Benilson09 can back me up on this...dude's from Cullman are crazy.
The best part was that one of my friends heard about it and drove up there but it was over. He had 3 of his friends with him and all had baseball bats cause they heard I was getting jumped. A year later, the same friend shot someone in the sack with a shotgun because the dude came up to his front door with a knife. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
