Daryl Dixon vs. Merele Dixon

In a fist fight between the two brothers from the Walking Dead. Placed in the fighting ring in the Governor's settlement. Who comes out on top, younger or older Dixon?

Anybody's game, I think. But if I HAVE to choose, I'd say Merle. While I get the impression that Daryl is a more skilled fighter, I think he's mellowed out a lot more than his brother has. I don't think he has the same "killer instinct" that Merle does, so I think that's why Merle will win. He seems to be more willing to kick the beejeezus outta Daryl, than the other way around. To win at any cost.

Is it a fight to KO or give up? Or to the death?

I think in a fight with no major consequences, Daryl'd be quick to put his brother down. Merle's the more brawler type, while I see Daryl as technical and more skills.

In a fight to the death though, I don't think he could kill his older brother. Unless he like, murdered Rick and the others beforehand.

That's a good question - I just assumed it was to the death, or at least, that was the implied basis for my verdict. If it's "just" KO or give up fight, Daryl wins. But I thought it was to the bitter end, so I have Merle winning. Because he's more of a killer, and Daryl's mellowed out quite a bit.

I agree on that. Daryl will kill if necessary, but Merle is a ruthless S.O.B who has no problem murdering innocent people or even those who might complicate things for him. Like when he

killed that guy whose name he couldn't get right because he was going to tell the Governor what happened.

This is like the staged ring fights that the Governor puts on, going for a KO.

Merle.

We will see in February, now won't we?

Merle for now.

He seems to be a decent kickboxer.

Daryl hasn't really shown any hand to hand prowess.
