      They never would have fought

      I watched the video and they both kept saying they would but wouldn’t actually do it. Then both accused the other of being a thug/bully for wanting to fight but also a coward for not fighting.

      Theyre the kids that act tough and pick fights in front of teachers knowing nothing can happen.

      I really wish they let those two have a knife edge death match like off Yu Yu Hakusho. I would have paid to watch that.
