To tell you the truth, I've only seen one catfight in my life. About five years ago, I was walking down my street in Portland, Oregon. I noticed that on the other side of the street three girls in their late teens or early twenties were arguing. I didn't think much of it and kept on walking down the sidewalk. All of a sudden, I heard one of the girls shouting. She had long black hair and was telling a slightly bigger girl that she didn't have to do what the bigger girl was ordering. I think they were in some sort of a gang. The third girl, as if on cue, moves around the black-haired girl, grabs her arms and pulls them behind her. I was thinking that perhaps I should interfere, but I held back to see what was going to happen. I was about 50 yards away. The bigger girl then grabs the black-haired girl's sweatshirt bottom, raises it up to expose her stomach, and then proceeds to throw three hard punches right into the girl's stomach. The sound of the punches was awesome. The girl holding the black-haired girl let go and the victim bent over, of course. Just as I was starting to walk over to the women, the black-haired girl started begging forgiveness from the gang leader. It was quite a show, only lasting four or five minutes.
