Have you ever been in a fist fight?

Personally, my goal in life is to never fight anyone for any reason. However, it has happened in my youth. I was at a party in college and a guy tried to rip the door off my friend's oven. I told him to stop and he said no, so I got between him and the oven. He swung at me and hit my forehead. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him outside. I kind of blacked out, but I remember pounding his face. I remember seeing him in the school newspaper a week or two later. He won an intramural wrestling tournament and they had his picture in the paper. He had a gnarly black eye in the picture.
