Wrestling one class up was not too bad but I once wrestled two classes up and got a dislocated floating rib from the larger, stronger opponent.

From my days of watching professional boxing I can also tell you that the stronger looking men do not always win. Often supremely muscular black fighters were worn down by the pudgy looking Mexican boxer who didn't look as strong but never seemed to run out of beans...(energy).
in street fighting, it is often the one who strikes the first blow that wins. usually neither side is in fighting shape particularly and is not really schooled to fight (generalization). Street fights seldom last very long before one side or the other is injured, runs away or is sometimes killed.

BTW, you wrote Mexican & beans in the same sentence: may we assume that you are a racist?
