Ay Joe, whats a madder for you??
There may be some truth to what you say. I've boxed for years and always hated it when (in a street fight) the other guy would shoot for my legs and take me down and then would not be specific about how he was going to try and finish me, ie: no arm-bar, no choke etc., he was just interested in G&P as best as he could. My point being, even though I usually got the best on the ground as well, I hated to be in unfamiliar territory. I was good at boxing, and that is exactly what I wanted to do. I used to think to myself (when my adversary took me down) "what a wimp, that's all he can do, he doesn't want to stand and scrap, all he can do is try and take me down"!! (little did I know, that's probably all he knew, and, being on the ground was comfortable to him (his territory).
Ronnie.
