Old Man Too Slow to Fight Against a Younger Guy
The reaction time of a 60-70 year old individual is around 34% slower as the reaction time of a 20-30 year old ,so you have to be smarter but in this case he wasn't  |

Re: Old Man Too Slow to Fight Against a Younger Guy
Regardless of reaction time I think the older guy was a bit on the tipsy side of things.  My asshole dad was special forces during his military career. That kid wouldn’t have last 10 seconds with my 87 year old pops. I know I sure wouldn’t screw around with him..  |

Re: Old Man Too Slow to Fight Against a Younger Guy
When I worked at Learjet, I worked with a little girl about 5 feet tall. It turned out she was an ex-Marine Sergeant, with 3 combat tours in Iraq. She also knew EVERY kind of self-defense like jiu-jitsu and karate. She had a Harley Sportster for a long time. She recently upgraded to a bigger Yamaha. I always used to laugh, because when SHE walked into ANY Harley dealership, she was INSTANTLY the most dangerous M/F'er in the building. I don't care what anyone else LOOKED LIKE. All that mattered in the equation was that SHE was there.  |

Re: Old Man Too Slow to Fight Against a Younger Guy
My guess that older guy was never that fast even in his younger days.

Re: Old Man Too Slow to Fight Against a Younger Guy
It looked like he didn't take the threat this kid could pose with youth and speed against his "experience"...
