The first lick is important. If you hit his jaw and he just shakes it off ................ run!
That really is an important element when fighting. Don't let your opponent know his blow hurt. Give him the look as if to say "Is that all you got" then wade into him with reckless abandon. The Army had an old saying when things look the most bleak, fight with violence of action. Just go nuts, it will most likely startle the enemy to give you enough time to get away or win the fight.

Grew up in Union County so yeah. Nearly every Sunday as a teenager because they sold to anyone.
Boxville? Some little family restaurant on the corner with a bar in it... a really fuzzy memory of that place...

We used to run over to Morganfield and Union Town when I was in HS, looking for fresh meat. Cruise the park, lol... some fine tail over that way.

You mean the dirt road town that sold beer on Sundays ? Too many times. Madisonville was dry growing up and Shawneetown was only like 50 miles. Shiat nothing like a little Sunday drive to get beer.
Lol, it's damned near impossible to get out of that town without getting into a fight.

I was over on the Dawson Springs side of Hopkins Co... we usually went to Mannington for beer.

So, any of you boys ever been to little place I like to call Shawneetown?

I've been in lex since I was 21, so 19 years now. Only go back once in a while to visit some family. Uniontown isn't much better but yea Shawneetown is pretty rough. Hit the drive thru's and get out. Hell it was one of the first places we went when I got my driver's license. They up charged the crap out of us kids cause they knew we were underage and from Kentucky but it was worth it.

Always aim for the nose.

No matter how big the dude is, a direct shot to the nose will stun the hell out of him.

Long enough to either jump on him and finish him off, or run like hell.

My W-L record hovers around .500.

You better catch them off guard or that's a good way to get knocked the F out. Works on most drunks but leaves you wide open for a good hard right to the side of the head. I never hit anyone in the jaw, too small a target. I aim straight for the ear, if I miss one way or another it usually gets enough meat to stun them long enough to get a few more in. Some guys throw haymakers which is also dumb as hell, duck and throw a straight right to the solar plexus. Land it right and you can lay the wood to someone before they catch their next breath. Always amazed me how many people fight fair too. I have talked my way out of several fights but just warning them that I don't fight fair, and if they F with me I will make sure they can't get up for a while before I stop. May or may not have been able to but it's a pretty good deterrent. Makes em think a little.

Last barfight I got into was about 15 years ago at Horseshoe Saloon. A guy in my group got into a scuffle, which ended up clearing the place out. People were throwing chairs and I think someone got stabbed. I got hit with a bottle and pepper sprayed that night, woke up the next morning with red blood stains, yellow pepperspray, and green grass stains on my shirt. Must have been at least 20 cop cars and a couple of paddy wagons that showed up

Oh yeah we did to. I was talking Sunday's. I actually worked at 41 Drive Thru. The first on on the right coming in from Nortonville. Sweet Pea Hawkins owned it. Man 22 year old catsfanbgky working the 4-12 shift. Had all kinds of nice underage MNHHS girls being extree kind when they rode thru. Had one ole black lady who stoled steaks from Sureway and would trade out for beer / liquor. My apartment looked like a damn pawn shop at times. Be surprised what somebody desperate to get a drink would give up.

BJ's ? Too many to count, lol.

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer

That amount of entertainment is worth the cover.

I had the advantage of having family there, and am pretty decent sized so I didn't get into too many fights at Bickett's. It was much worse when it was up on the hill beside Fifth Wheel. I took some of my Lexington boys up there one night and we about got into it with half the bar over a pool game. Scary part of it back then was the State police post is in Columbia and they didn't like coming out there too much, nor did the local cops. So if you got into a good one you had no chance to get it stopped before it ended itself. Saw guys take bad beatings before the law could get there, if they even came out. Once Bickett's moved down off Raywick Rd it seemed to calm down a bit.

Honestly I was always more leery of Cozy Corner in Loretto than I was Bickett's. Seemed like Cozy always had Bardstown/St Catherine crew's there that had something to prove so there were more fights there than anywhere for the longest time. That place was insane for just the sheer number of fights. Cops were there a lot but it didn't seem to matter, brawls would break out any damn near any time of the day or night when it was rockin.
My cuz took dynamite to 5th Wheel years ago

My cousin was a Marine stationed in Oahu in late 80s. He’s 6’2 and at the time a ripped marine around 220. He and some buddies were at a local bar near the base.

Couple of his buddies got into it with some locals. My cousin goes running to join in and as he says, this big *** Samoan bouncer comes out of nowhere and hits him like a Mack truck.

My cousin goes down. Bouncer is standing over him. Bouncer says “you no get up and I won’t hit you again.” My cousin told him just sweep around me when you close.

Said after that the bouncer always took care of him and his buddies.

My last bar fight cost me a $10,000 dollar lawyer fee. Beer mug was involved and I was the only UK fan in a Tennessee bar. You may have read about it.

Keep it in this thread if you don't mind.

Ask around, everyone knew. In the 80s.
Cozy has settled down now, it was fun. Bald Knob was insane, by far the craziest
Yeah, lots of stories from the late 70's and early 80's. Before my time but all my relatives there have different stories from Fifth Wheel and Bickett's back in the day. Bobby Joe Shewmaker was involved in a lot of them but mostly around his aptitude to party. Lol. Evidently it was legendary. Heard he pulled up in front of Fifth wheel and asked a couple of guys if they wanted to see a million in cash. Of course they said yeah, so he popped the trunk and there on top of a stack of cash was a 357 mag. Never heard whether that was totally true but locals seem to believe it. Crazy stuff.
Never went to Bald Knob but heard Whispering Pines had it's share of "fun" back in the day as well. Most of my folks hung out in Loretto or Raywick, and it was evidently a different crew back toward Bradfordsville so we didn't go out there much.

True story. At a lex strip club for my bachelor party. Handcuffed to pole with 3 girls dancing around me. Fight broke out and police showed up. Place emptied out except for me on stage with my pants to my knees cuffed to the pole. Girls ran off and left me. Police uncuffed me and said "let Mr playboy here go, he's the only sumbitch I know couldn't have thrown a punch". Good times.

Yep, true story. The Bicketts went to Bardstown, to your cousins home, and told the father, your son just blew up our bar, he is dead tomorrow if it's not taken care of tonight. Father wrote a check.

That the boy that literally shot the jukebox? I though it’s was in the early 90’s when that happened. That’s when they moved down the hill to a new building. Crazy shift.

got into a little semi rumble last night over a game of pool The bet was one beer... , doubles. My partner hit a ridiculous obvious bank shot on the 8 ball dude on other team was smack talkin whole game( they were both youngsters) , then got it shoved up his *** told him to go fetch my beer then it spilled out to lot cops came broke it up , U all been in any bar fights
I used to work as a bouncer, all though I’m pretty small ( I get that a lot) most think I’d be bigger, any who I once took a gig out in Missouri and what I thought would be easy turned out to be a total **** storm. Had to fight a town mob boss , lost my best friend, but on the bright side I stole his ex-girlfriend!
Worked out great in the end !

The kid did something in the bar that caused him to be roughed up a little. His father was a road contractor. The kid went and got dynamite, and blew the place up after it closed that night.

My ex-wife was forever causing trouble in clubs and it was probably a matter of time before I got killed. She had been a model in North Dallas and could've been a double for Kim Basinger. Bad thing is that most women like that crave attention from strangers and she would go out dressed in a mini-skirt and stiletto heels. When I would get her a drink or go to the restroom guys would be all over her when I got back, totally disregarding her wedding ring. One night in Arlington, Texas, I was dancing with her when some dude got between us and was obviously trying to keep me away from her as her friend grabbed her by the ***. I lost it and shoved the guy blocking out of the way and went for the other guy's throat. Both of them tried to hit me when the bouncer came over and asked me to leave. Not really a fight but the closest thing I've been involved in.

Used to back in the day. Not anymore. The loser will just go to his car and get his gun. Or one of his buddies will. Not worth it
Good friend of mine told me his story about a bar fight in Wichita Falls, Texas. Said he was at a CW bar with a lot of rednecks and cowboys and one of them with a cast on his arm brushed him on the shoulder while he was sitting at a table. Said since he was young and dumb he called the guy outside. He made the mistake of walking through the door first and the guy with the cast sucker punched him in the back of the head. He got knocked out and woke up about 3 a.m., lying in the parking lot with no boots, belt or wallet. Said he had been there since about 10:00 p.m. and it started raining which woke him up. Not one person checked on him or gave assistance and just left him there. Moral of the story is never challenge a one armed man to a fight in a bar.

People don't realize how much casts weigh and they're hard as a rock. You can easily get seriously hurt by a blow from one.

Never got in one, but i did slap a beer bottle out of some drunk redneck’s hand from behind before he cracked it over my friend’s skull.

And it allowed my buddy to take him to the ground and it was broken up by security shortly after.

Nah bro, i was 21, lots of the ole bar fly's that came thru where in their 30's, 40's. As far as the underage goes, they where 18 /19 year olds. I was only 21, so i don't think i would have a issue. Well, i didn't have a issue. The black lady, she was in her 50's if i had to guess. Maybe they could have possibly got her for it, but i kind of doubt it.

Oh man forgot about this one:

A wine/martini bar near me had these HUGE floor-to-ceiling pane glass windows, very "city" feel when this bar opened. Well the bar turned from a business vibe to sketchy club crowd over time.

One day we heard commotion.. turned around right as two dudes punched another dude THROUGH the entire glass! We're talking like a 6x10' pane. Glass went everywhere. Not sure how no one got cut in half or lost a finger.

It was hard to see what happened next, One kid was down, pretty bad.. but one of the three ran off down the street. We watched from the other windows as a bouncer chased after him. The bouncer got close and decided to sell out and dive for his ankles. This kid does the best high-step since Deion Sanders and the bouncer face plants, inches away from his ankles. The whole bar cheered as the kid was home free.. not even sure he was on the good side or bad.. but it was great to see.

I also remember that this bar made the only female worker, a hostess, use a SHOVEL to clean up the giant glass shards.. as everyone just kept partying around her.

But man seeing that glass come crashing like a movie was pretty surreal.

Interesting, I asked around and everyone I asked from that area said it was just a fire. I like the dynamite story better though.
