Yes we can, but I won't!
Im a fan of letting the fight happen the way it should.
If 2 guys wanna just stand and make an agree thats not organic.
If a fight stays on the feet because 2 guys feel comfortable there without an agreement, im cool with that.
Some feels fucky to me when guys change the rules in a weird way.
They signed to fight under a set of rules.
You don't think Holland would've taken Wonderboy down if that agreement wasn't made?
Of course he would've he was getting his ass kicked.
He kept his word and that is honorable, but he took an unnecessary beating when he has other tools.
Im old, im sorry for lashing out lol.
You know what sir, you're kinda right... which is why I specified that it should only be extremely rare cases; I can only think of a couple gentlemen agreements that were made public, but who knows how many happened without us knowing?
Ken Shamrock had been known to said that in their first fight, he could have kickboxed Royce and won easily, but he made a gentleman agreement with himself that he was going to make a point by submitting him
Yeah, Bob. He spoke about that with the author one of the Ken Shamrock books.
Thanks! I've only read one of Ken's books ("Inside the Lion's Den"), and it's a treasure trove of hilarious quotes with homoerotic undertones (and I'm generous with the "undertones")
It's even funnier when you realize Ken co-wrote it, and talks about himself at the third person while saying stuff like "who was this massive, charismatic man, a chest like a greek god, moving more like a panther than a human? "
Then he talks about how his girlfriend describes him physically, you can guess the details
