In all seriousness, on the topic of fighting, majority of fights you see a player grab the other one by the jersey collar in hope of holding them off so you can feed them... every time I’ve gotten in a scrap I’ve always grabbed, or attempted to, a hold of their bicep with my non dominant hand and fed them with my right. Generally guys are righties when it comes to chuckin knucks and grabbing their right arm with my left allows my dominant hand to run wild while their dominant is restricted. Try punching me back when I’m holding your dominant and instinctive arm. I’ve found tremendous success with it, being on the winning side of more fights than not, be it bar fights, random scraps and the odd tilt I’ve had in sports. Why is it that most guys grab the shirt collar?

My fighting career is not as distinguished as yours. The only fighting major I ever had in hockey was almost accidental. There was a guy from the other team running around - I saw him coming at me for the same time in the shift and threw up my elbow to protect myself sending him yard-saling across the ice. He got up, tossed his gloves and skated at me. I was rolling my eyes and waiting for the refs to step in, but instead heard them shout "Everyone stay back!" He grabbed a hold of me, I hit him, he went down, I fell on top of him and hit him one more time before the refs pulled me off. It cost me a fine and a two-game suspension, so not really worth it.

I did however win, so I figured I'd hang 'em up and retire with the belt intact. And I've declined every invite to fight since!

As for bar fights, I was challenged once at the Urban Lounge in Edmonton. Some guy tried to push past me to get to the bar and I held my spot...he spun me around and asked me to step outside, but he was like 6'6 (I'm 6'1) so I said no thank you. He asked why not and I said because I thought he'd probably win. It defused the situation and he later apologized. The only other one ever, some dude sucker headbutted me outside a Denny's. I did lose that one. Not sure if there was any way to win there though.

With hockey fights, I know Laraque's preference was to grab the front of the collar and the shoulder pads. He was so strong that he could pull the guy to him and shake him around if needed. That's how he held his own even against guys like Boogard - just pull them down to his level. I'm not sure that strategy would work for everyone though.

And then there's the Tkachuk strategy. Just grab the top of your own helmet and hang on for dear life!

The one outside Denny’s had to have been at like 3am!? Short fighting career but sounds like you held your own rather well in limited exposure!

You’ve got a couple inches on me, I’m 5’11” but I’m self-admittedly an s-disturber in any competitive sport atmosphere. I chirp in every sport, every game I’ve played... even curling haha. Almost got into a fight with one guy while at a junior spiel in Red Deer when I was 17.

I’ve got probably about 7 bar fights on my belt. Got lit up the very first one after not believing this little red head had a boyfriend. Turns out he just got back from a week on the rigs. The other 6 were after my first hockey fight where I grabbed the right bicep, and I was on the less bloody side in all 6.

I’ve started 2 baseball bench brawls;
1- Buddy was chuckin’ inside at my best friend 4 straight at bats spanning 2 games, I chirped him pretty good with each one, then he plugged him in the ribs while I was on second and I charged the mound and landed a few before anyone else laid a hand on me
2- a guy studded me sliding into second (I was a second baseman) and he got me on the inside of my knee, ump called him out and as I went to grab my knee I instead shook my glove off and fed him a few in the face. Had some lengthy suspensions from both. Haven’t played ball since the second fight.

2 in hockey, both with the same guy. I played 3 years of hockey, I’m nothing special. But I knew my role as stay at home dman. Anyway. He was a real plug. Was running everyone on my team all night. Laid a nasty blindside on my d partner so I shook off the gloves, told him we’re going and he didn’t land a single punch. That was the first time I held the right bicep and I fed him a few till he dropped. After a fine and a 5 game suspension, my first game back was against the same team. My first shift I pinned that same guy in the corner and he asked to go, it was basically a carbon copy. I held his bicep, he didn’t land one and I fed him 3 before I was pulled off him. Another fine. Another suspension. Not totally worth it but it pretty well had to happen and I enjoyed it. Feels weird to say that but I definitely enjoyed it at the time.

I’ve caused a men’s soccer bench clearing brawl as well. I’ve played soccer since I was 4 years old. Still play. But 7 years ago this one guy was running his mouth, it was an 11:30pm kickoff on a Friday, he was lit, could smell the booze. Not even 5 minutes into the game he kinda threw his hip at my goalie after he made a save and I stepped in telling him if he as much as lays a finger on my goalie again he’ll be on the turf before he can say mom. He laughed and jogged away. My goalie told the ref about the smell of booze and that the guy is going to cause crap, ref told my goalie to basically worry about himself. It was such a joke. A few minutes later a cross comes in and as my goalie jumps up to catch the ball I see this guy running at my goalie from the edge of the box so I get to the side of my goalie, plant my feet and buddy full speed runs into me and falls on his can. He looks up slurs some joke about my mom and brother (this was a few years after I actually lost a brother) and I took a swing, got him in the jaw, he fell onto his back and I crouched down and laid a good 6 punches on him before I even heard a whistle and both benches were swarming me. 10 game suspension. No fine. Guy was a bloody mess. I didn’t have to do what I did. But i did. My goalie said thanks, he saw the guys running at him when I stepped in. Told me later the ref started blowing the whistle the second the guy fell after he ran into me. I had totally blacked out and didn’t hear a thing. Just fed him. My concussion history likely played a part in that.

Anyway. There’s a look into the real Oscargasm. The Must Win Czar and a guy who will stick up for anyone that means anything to him.
