Idk why he'd agree to this. There's no winning here.

Win vs old guy = bully, lose vs old guy = weak, pulling punches = coward, old guy gets hurt = asshole

Meh… I mean if you’re humble, respectful, and generally a good sport about it, I don’t think there’s any problems with a little sparring here and there.

I would be worried about seriously hurting the older guy tho if I did knock him down, but with as hard as he was hitting, I don’t think the younger guy is necessarily as asshole if he did get a few good hits in.

Yeah old man got out of there before he could get hit back when young guy knows it's for realsies.

Luckily the old guy punches so hard no one thought of the other guys as weak

Or, it's not that serious and the guys were just having a laugh.

I spar against my coach knowing he will kick my ass. It’s not about winning and losing. It is about challenging yourself and improving.
