the first boxers
undertaken
on combat
on the overton railroad
thriving in bad places

I posted it before, but this clip shows how disruptive slaps can be. No broken knuckles or wrists, either.

Especially Mr. Green @ 1:05 and Mr. Red @ 4:04. Well disguised.
Bob, I think the disguise is a large part of the value. There's no tightening up of the arms, fists, or torso. Therefore it's always a surprise.*
*Except for those Dindus in the blue polo shirts. WTF? That guy doesn't just telegraph his slaps, he writes long letters and sends them by pony express...and STILL they land!
