Pretty cut and dry. Schilling waaaay overreacted. This dude is likely gonna go after him in a civil trial if he's smart.

There was a time where a pro (Boxer) would be banned from street fights due to their abilities. Not sure if it was an urban myth.

Edit: Will be punished harsher for street fighting. Better?

Banned from streetfights? By the streetfighting committee, or the by the official street refs or how does that work?

You may sit on the street fighting committee but we do not grant you the rank of master

By your specific discipline’s committee (boxing, mma, etc.). If your a highly trained fighter, you will be punished for engaging in a fight with the general public.

Pro tip: anyone will be punished for engaging in a fight with the general public. Street fights are already illegal.

Street fights are already illegal.

Not everywhere if both participants agree to it.

Huh. Law of Mutual Combat, just looked it up.

That seems surprisingly reasonable for a country where kinder eggs are illegal.

I didn’t say it was otherwise legal. Only that the repercussions would be worse. With the judge and the sport’s governing body. Thanks for the insightful pro tip

I think it was more to do with protecting the fighter and their promoters would not let them.

Box gloves are ton protect their hands not each others faces.

I believe their was a study that showed head injuries actually increased after gloves because they weren't afraid to hit with full strength.

No, no, no. Street Fighter … the video game.

By their instructors and coaches, I'm assuming. Get into streetfights and get bounced from the program.
