Hi, Banana-- and welcome to English Forums! A bar fighter is an amateur, a fighter with poor training, a fighter that just relies on brute force rather than skill and strategy.

I think that men who get drunk and fight in bars have a fighting spirit and were hired earlier in boxing history as promising contenders.
