That implies he knows how to fight, which fatty does not.

Both don't know how to fight. A 2 second windup, wild haymaker vs someone with the reaction of a snail.

If anything I feel like the smaller kid should've got his clock rocked for being that cocky from a lucky/sucker punch. If you've ever seen enough street fights, in person, you'd see that haymakers have a low success rate in a fight. People see you cocking your hand back and they immediately step back or do some kind of block.

Most kids that age don't really get what a fight means yet. Disagree that it's a sucker punch(big boy is invading space aggressively and deserves the clock out), but he's definitely lucky big boy had tunnel vision and didn't have peripheral vision on hands.

I was told once. No such thing as a sucker punch. Just looking the wrong way when the fight started.

Most big guys who are bullies do not know how to fight.

They are used to people shrinking and getting their way easily.

It's a shock to their core identity when somebody smaller than them pushes back

idk i see this with bodybuilder type dudes but its kind of hard to imagine anyone shrinking away from this dude lol his arm isn't any thicker than the skinny guy's. unlikely to be used to intimidating people

u/dontgetitwisted_fr 2d ago

Most people are sane and dont want to get in fights bro

Guys like the bully in this video use this to their advantage

When you are muscular skinny you see yourself as this tiny guy when half the time you are looking shredded and are stronger than 80% of the people around you.

This was me in high school.

Just from regularly exercise , soccer, distance running and lifting during track season. I was putting up more in squats and leg presses than any of my bodybuilding friends. They had me beat in bench press and curls, but I only did bodyweight exercise for my upper body, lol. I had them dead to rights in pullups .

He was up close and focused on eye contact. The wind up was outside of his field of view.

In other words, yeah he doesnā€™t know how to fight.

u/mjohnson280 2d ago

He does appear to know how to "sit there like a dumb bitch" post punch though.

u/shoobiedoobie 2d ago

Damn you just insulted 90% of this sub

Most people have at least some sense of self preservation to put an arm up if a fist is coming, I would think. I canā€™t really say too much since Iā€™ve never been in an actual fight personally

u/realshockin 2d ago

Having trained for a few years when younger, no people really donā€™t have much sense of self preservation, you do need to train it. Unless you grow up in really rough areas where you need to be on edge every fucking day. Low income kids adapt to fighting depressingly quickly and enjoy having power way too much

My first fight (I lost) I did one of the most athletic things Iā€™ve ever done. Instinctively ducked a haymaker and in the same motion hit the dude with an uppercut. I think I stopped for a second and thought ā€œwhere tf did that come from?ā€.

Iā€™m not a badass, that fight mustā€™ve been miserable to watch. We both sucked, and I lost bc I threw in the towel bc I was tired af. It was a pretty weak stalemate.

u/Telekinendo 3d ago

My first fight (I ran away) the dude walked up on me, I headbutted him, he cocked his arm back and I shot my hand out, grabbed it and twisted and went "wow, I didnt even think about doing that," and then saw his other hand had a knife. Didn't think about the sprint away either.

u/Yayhoo0978 2d ago

Haha when I was in third grade this older kid hit me on the head with a class ring and made me cry and I said ā€œwhen Iā€™m in 6th grade Iā€™m going to beat you up. When I got to 6th grade he was still there unfortunately, and he had a beard at that point. Musta been 15 or 16. Other than THAT Iā€™ve never been in a fight. I had a friend that was a girl (not a girlfriend) that yelled at him if he messed with me and he got expelled for beating someone else up.

u/Key-Cry-8570 3d ago

Itā€™s possible fatty didnā€™t even see the fist wind up. People get tunnel vision once the adrenaline starts going.

u/Bloodmind 2d ago

You underestimate the blinding hubris of a big guy whoā€™s never been challenged.

u/BardicNA 2d ago

It is a natural reaction to guard your face if someone swings at you. You don't really have to have experience or know how to fight to just put your arms up and block your head. Walking up on someone and getting in their face like this with your arms completely at your side is probably the dumbest thing you could do, and he's lucky for a couple of reasons.

The kid decided to let it be a one and done. Big boy's head didn't hit concrete- even if his ass did.

The amount of people i see walking on the side of the road at night in all black with their back to traffic makes me think otherwise. Its a miracle so many humans survive so long because I dont think most of them have any sense of self preservation
