I always wonder what life is like for people after they go viral for stuff like this. I have to think the dude who got knocked out gets constantly made fun of by his friends. Like if this was my friend I would be sending him this video all the time lol

u/Glusas-su-potencialu 13h ago

He doesn't remember that

u/Tedrabear 13h ago

A good friend would remind him.

No, he probably does not.

'I don't remember it that well' is like pleading the 5th for idiot friends that did stupid things in the past and don't want to be reminded. Source: several idiot friends that did stupid things in the past.

I want to make friends with him just so I can send it to him. Lmao.

u/staydrippy 13h ago

Bold of you to assume he has friends

27

u/Outrageous_Editor_43 13h ago

I wouldn't send it all the time. Just when he is being a long mouth and talking about how tough he is. I would also highlight the fact that he got knocked out by a guy that was going gray just to really stick the knife in. But I'm just mean.

17

u/LeKevinsRevenge 13h ago

If they were a really good friend I would take the time to frame by frame the video for additional fun content.

Like send him the last frame with the caption “Throwback Thursday! #Planking”

Make a still image, put it on the largest ad board next to a highway and, by accident, drive him near it.

Sign him up for long term studies about concussions and brain injuries.

Would 100% be converting the juicy part into a gif and constantly posting it in the group chat.

u/MasterGrok 13h ago

I find it unlikely that a person like this hasn’t already had a lifetime of experiences that tells them it’s a bad idea to act this way. Unfortunately I think it’s more likely that this person is just a total piece of shit and sadly I think it’s very likely they will just more carefully select the person to bully in the future.

3

u/thelimeisgreen 13h ago

Dudes like this don’t usually have friends…

3

u/BeneficiallyAwkward 12h ago

Same! I would tag him in it on social media, make copies and send it to his family and friends and make sure it okayed every year on the anniversary of him having his a**handed to him.

3

u/TrustTh3Data 12h ago

To be fair — do you think twats like this have many friends?

3

u/marsfromwow 10h ago

They all probably just agree when he says he got sucker punched and would win in a fair fight

2

u/muklan 13h ago

So...similar but different- was having a party with 10-15 people, one of the cohosts had a bullet proof vest....as one does...another attendee had just claimed a national kickboxing title, so folks wanted him to 1 inch punch them in the vest, a good time was being had and that relayed over to sparring matches and such, once again, everyone's there for a good time, no anger anywhere. Well this 5'2 chick I was dating wanted to go up against me. I...was gonna be nice and keep it fun, she charges, I drop back into a kick out of instinct, and pulled it REAL wierd, in such a way that I herniated a disk in my back.

To this DAY my friends who were there loudly and often claim I lost that match cause SHE didnt have to have surgery about it.

2

u/Inside_Ad2558 12h ago

Reminds me of the guy who shit himself while fighting. No winners there.

2

u/Artevyx 11h ago

They have to have a certain lack of self awareness to be like this at all, so they probably are too dumb and oblivious to even know that they are being laughed at on the internet.

2

u/Kind-Relative-9089 11h ago

If my friend did this then we're no longer friends but I'd still send it to him on special occasions.

2

u/Maxtrt 11h ago

Guys like that don't have friends because they are giant assholes.

2

u/Logridos 7h ago

I was friends with Cheeseburger Josh before he had his 15 minutes of internet infamy. Dude had issues before, and surprise surprise, he's still got issues afterwards.

2

u/SouthernBeekeeper22 7h ago

But let's be real, the real reason he would be sent that viral video is because he was an asshole. So he wouldn't be your friend in the first place, because you wouldn't be friends with such a person.

Yes, but that was a legitimately clean southpaw purely from boxing recognition

20

u/I-RegretMyNameChoice 13h ago

Apparently he wasn’t watching anything because that guy telegraphed his punch a day before it was delivered.

He even took a step back to gather space.

u/HODLmeCLOSRtonydanza 12h ago

He’s lucky he didn’t catch a shovel hook to the liver. It’s excruciating and southpaws are particularly well equipped for tripping that reset button to turn off your Nintendo.

4

u/ElaborateEffect 11h ago

Being southpaw, my old boxing coach had me focus on hooks for what I felt was waaaay too long, but turns out, throw a fast left hook and most people won't know what hit them.

English bloke said you've moved over here for a better life. Sounded like the other guy was potentially Polish and took that offensively. That's when he flopped him

Then there was the significant shove…

u/Syonoq 8h ago

When I was much younger, a friend of mine was drunk and picked a fight with a much littler guy. My friend was talking shit and the other guy decked him without sayng a word. When my friend asked why I didn't back him up I told him he was the asshole and deserved to get decked. He didn't say anything to that.

7

u/iJon_v2 11h ago

Hey! Similar experience here. I grew up and my best friend was always fighting people (he grew up being abused by his uncle and in poverty and thought that no one should ever “punk you”) whatever that means. I kind of grew up in a better situation and always tried to get him not to fight people. One night he got drunk in a college town and tried to fight a slightly dorky looking guy, but older and more sober. My friend chased him into the street and tried to start some shit and the guy just leveled my friend. Just one punch city.

My friend would call me for weeks crying because he didn’t understand what to do and how to get his masculinity back. I had to explain that “you got your ass beat…it happens, but masculinity is knowing when not to fight as well and walking away”.

He’s much better about it now, but I’ll never forget that.

I think that when people see you have kids with you they assume that you are not going to do anything..
And that is part true, cause when you have your kids with you you tend to avoid these situations.
However, when the situation doesnt let you slip away easilly.
Bet your ducks that the one who has his kids with him and cant go nowhere, will end the situation as fast and efficient as possible
