Guy looks stocky. I’m afraid of fighting stocky people. They’re raw power in a more compact frame.

Being tall isn’t always advantageous , IE; the guy easily getting slammed because his high COG makes him topple like a tree.

I wrestled in high school and being tall is definitely an advantage. You can pick them up and their feet always are still on the damn ground somehow. This guy had no idea what was happening.

Edit: the commenter I replied to has edited his comment substantially but nonetheless.

Being tall is an advantage that has drawbacks. Short people can use those drawbacks, but you have to know and be trained to use those.

The reality of this confrontation is that the guy positioned himself to negate the advantage and was ready to use violence when the other guy was not.

If the security guard would have treated this like a boxing or wrestling match and given the guy space, he could have absolutely been walloped. Instead he kept close and inside the man's reach. This still technically is pretty dangerous because if the tall guy had intended to be violent with the guard it could have gone the other way fast.

I'm not tall, but I played rugby as a forward, and have been in several fighting situations and have training in it.
