    I don’t see how Paul wins here at all. Either he beats up a 60 year old man or gets beat by a 60 year old man. There’s no way to look good in this.

      Hit the old man enough to win by decision but not actually hurt him. That’s the only real winning path - and exactly what happened.

      Meh it’s the 60 year old man’s decision to fight. Your argument is in the same vein as “you can’t fight against a woman”. If they want it, so be it.

        I wouldn’t fight a woman just because she wants it. I would feel horrible beating her up.

        You have to understand that just because someone wants something, it doesn’t mean they are thinking straight. You shouldn’t take advantage of that.

            It can happen, but statistically adult man vs adult woman is not a fair fight.

            I knew a guy at university; started going out with this smoking hot girl. She was a regional champ in jujitsu; it didn’t last long, turns out she was a violent piece of shit. Beat him up twice, he left after the second one. She had major anger management issues.

            But you turn that story around a little, similar situation, girl has same anger management issues, but without the training etc, she is unlikely to be a threat to any adult guy.

              I think it’s batshit crazy that this has to be told to people these days. Are they competely unaware of the physical differences between men and women?

              Have Hollywood movies become reality for those people?
