Give him a chance to stop the fight

“Dude, come on, we don’t have to do this” you say, putting your hands up and taking a step back. Sure this guy’s a punk, but you’re not a jerk; no point in humiliating the guy in front of his lackeys.

But you should have been paying more attention to those lackeys as they come up on either side of you and grab your arms and legs holding them outstretched.

You’re pretty strong, but one arm and one leg’s worth of strength against the entire strength of each man just isn’t enough to do much of anything.

The leader has recovered and there’s pure rage in his eyes. “Hold him still guys!” he tells his henchmen as he slams a powerful punch to your stomach. Seeing it coming, you tense your abs, which lessens the pain. This only makes him more angry.

He punches you across the jaw BAM! With the left BAM! With the right. As you’re dazed, you feel all the wind blown out of you as he slugs you in your unflexed gut. You cough and sputter, struggling to bring air into your lungs.

“Time to finish this” the leader says.

You’re weak and almost done
