Was this a sanctioned bout or an amatuer fight?

Meh, that's nothing. Just bring that shark to my living room and you'll see how I beat the crap out of it :D

Obviously he was just pissed off over how the Ashes are going, and the shark was on the receiving end of his anger :D
Rain over London, Thursday to Monday please!

anyone can get away from a shark

1. you just have to hit its gills, the one spot they are easy to hurt

2. a shark almost never does more than bite a human , they don't even like are taste

sorry for the bad spelling

Aye, sharks don't have hands to feel things. They "test" things with their teeth. If a great white hits you with the intentions of a meal, theres a pretty big chance your not walking away from it. Imagine getting hit by a truck with teeth.

Now on the other hand, sounded like this guy was hit twice at least? Although I'm considering the fact that two bites could mean open mouth, close mouth again. Or even just a head jerk while the mouth wasn't completely closed. I won't accept that a great white actually intended on eating this guy, bit him twice and gave up.

This shark realized its "meal" wasn't what it thought. Happens all the time.

Yep. Aussies are teh badass. *pride-stance*
Though, I wouldn't fight a shark. Wait, no. I would - what would you do? You could die, or fight and die, or fight and maybe live... I'd choose either of the last two options, preferring the last one.

No matter what the argument is, the guy is tough, I'm glad he survived and kept all his limbs. Usually, by the time the shark realizes he doesnt want to eat you, you're already missing a limb or a sizable chunk.

Punch the shark's nose with all your strength.

Sometimes simple statements like the one above mean a difference between life and death. You never finish learning.

Wasnt there a guy in Miami,Fl not too long ago that wrestled a shark and got his niece or nephew's limb back from it? The shark bit one of the child's limbs off and the uncle grabbed it and fought it till he got the limb back?
I dont know if the limb was successfully re-attached or not, but thats a guy with real balls.

I know... We've all seen Braveheart. Which believe it or not is not actually a movie, but a documentary film of life in Scotland circa 1992. :D

Ahh, while fairly impressive he has nothing on this guy:

A 73-year-old man used his bare hands to tear out the tongue of a leopard that attacked him in Kenya and killed it.
...
M'Mburugu, a peasant farmer, dropped the machete he was carrying and forced his hand into the leopard's mouth, pulling out its tongue in an act of self-defence, according to the report.

Now that's way above steel-balls material. This guy has diamond-balls.

I agree.

I was attacked by a large, 135lb male Alaskan Malamute when I was 18. He did a number on my hands and arms, but I lived to talk about it somehow. Being bitten and torn repeatedly is pretty painful. I dont feel like I had balls, I just wanted to live.
