Ususally, I have found myself fighting for other people, whom were unable to or did not want to defend themselves. Most of these fights I have partiscipated in are very organised, and spotters have never had to get involved.

If it is a fight for fun, I still suggest spotters.

In a fight, I rarely have to throw more than half dozen punches. It really usually does not get so violent amongst kids.

If someone punched my sister, I wouldn't wait for any spotters, I'd cream him then and there. It's not a case of making a point, it's a case of making sure that he doesn't do a damned thing to any member of my family ever again. Period.

Anyway, here's my assessment. The greater your sense of honor, the greater the reason has to be to get you to fight. A street thug with no honor fights over almost anything. A very honorable person almost never fights. So, if you have gotten into a fight, then that fight should take precedence over your honor. A street thug's honor is nearly worthless, so winning the fight is worth more than it. But the honorable person, while his honor is worth much more than the street thugs, will find that it is not worth as much as winning the fight. Because if his honor was worth more than winning the fight, he wouldn't have gotten into the fight in the first place. If a fight isn't worth winning, it isn't worth fighting.
