Meeting at the local playground? These Guys are definitely badass.

Wearing Capri pants, definitely badass.

[–]pedospiderman 1 point2 points ago

These are people you don't want to mess with.

[–]spidermite 2 points3 points ago

They're French

[–]FistThePooper6969 174 points175 points ago

Why do I feel like the small guy is the asshole and is starting shit with the big guy? Maybe it's his preppy friend jumping in the background

[–]Kowzorz 44 points45 points ago

He's not.

White guilt. It's been confirmed the big guy was starting shit. Why is this top comment still?

[–]Patsson77 2 points3 points ago

I thought he was Puerto Rican or something. I guess I'm racist now :(

[–]propyl21 39 points40 points ago

Because you're right, he is the antagonist. It's been posted here many times too.

[–]shyronnie31 27 points28 points ago

French guy here, the big one is the bully. But they both don't seem like smart people.

And the big one might be intoxicated.

[–]TATANE_SCHOOL 20 points21 points ago

French here too, shyronnie is right.

The small one was saying: "Fuck off, fuck off" Then the tall dude was calling him a fag repeatedly and the small one lost his temper...

But like you said, none of them seems smart... :/

[–]goofball_jones 15 points16 points ago

I'm not French, but I learned to say "hello" in French when I was 12. These guys seem to know what they're talking about and I can vouch for them.

because the little shit suckered him brutally

[–]Mulsanne 32 points33 points ago

How do you sucker punch someone who is looking at you?

You don't. That's not what sucker punch means.

[–]MightyMechbeth -1 points0 points ago

It's not about sneaking up on somebody as much as it is about an unfair attack. A sucker punch is really any punch that is delivered when somebody is not prepared to be hit. Clearly, the smaller guy's intention was to land the punch before the other guy had realized that he had been engaged.

[–]Darth_Tard 7 points8 points ago

So being good at fist fighting is unfair? My Muay Thai instructor (a former Navy SEAL) advised me that if I ever am forced into a street fight or any fight over than a ring match, that I should use overwhelming force to cause incapacitating damage at the first opportunity, particularly since I'm very short and slender. In my opinion, the short guy waited too long, putting himself in unnecessary danger against a taller opponent who likely has a longer reach. But whatever.

[–]MightyMechbeth 0 points1 point ago

No. Not at all. What I'm saying is being "fair" isn't going to protect you.

[–]thegreatdivorce 1 point2 points ago

This doesn't really qualify as being "forced into a street fight." I'm sure your instructor also taught you to avoid fights at nearly any cost. You're better off just walking / running away. Or maybe the French don't sue each other over little dust-ups.

[–]Darth_Tard 1 point2 points ago

You're certainly right. Avoiding should always be a priority. But you'll notice that every time the short guy backed up, the taller guy followed, so it was clear that he wanted some kind of confrontation.

[–]Gunney5 16 points17 points ago

Its unfair? The guy was literally in his face, putting his chin out there and (just imo) asking for it when the "winner" appeared to be telling him to either go away or back off (not bilingual, guessing). Unfair would be a punch/knee to the balls, handheld weapon, or attack from the side/back.

Also as a shorter but not tiny guy myself, if I feel I'm going to have to defend myself from harm (because, ya never know, the other guy might actually kill you while your just trying to defend yourself) anything is acceptable. I dont fight for fun/sport - I fight to protect myself by any means necessary.

Almost forgot - a fight needs to start somehow. This guy just happened to start and finish it with one hit.

[–]MightyMechbeth 2 points3 points ago

I see where you're coming from. Fairness was a poorly selected concept to introduce to the conversation.

I don't mean to say that the punch was inappropriate, because I do not know the circumstances. But that said, I do still consider it (though not the most relevant example of) a sucker punch.

[–]supplex 1 point2 points ago

Not really a sucker punch, every fight starts with one person hitting another. The little guy just had the luck he went down after the first hit.

If this is a sucker punch i don't know how you start a normal fight? You never announce you're going to hit someone in the head before doing it.

[–]SmellyGoateeGuy -4 points-3 points ago

The big guy was blind-sided entirely as he was looking to his left and the little guy hit with his left. I think that's what giving you the impression.

[–]Darth_Tard 1 point2 points ago

You'll also notice that the short guy slips after the punch. He has some training. Boxer slip, not slipping on the floor slip.

[–]MidEastBeast777 0 points1 point ago

Not a sucker punch. If you've ever been face to face with someone like these two are in the video you know the best thing to do is punch first and knock the other person out. Always throw the first punch, otherwise you could seriously get hurt.

[–]CurumeR -3 points-2 points ago

Almost forgot - a fight needs to start somehow.

Or you could, you know, argue back. Nah, hit the guy. I'm sure he said something profane about your mother and/or your sexual preference.

[–]Gunney5 3 points4 points ago

Its either hit first, or be hit first. If ya keep talkin', it could be you (figuratively) on the ground. Not sure about anyone else, but waking up on pavement with a splitting headache (at the least) sure isn't on my list of "to dos".

[–]CurumeR 4 points5 points ago

Yeah, I get how the fight scenario works. If it looks like it's going to go that way, then yeah, overwhelming first strike it is. The shit that bothers me is the whole idea that words are worth fighting over.

However, if I'm being threatened, all bets are off.

[–]Darth_Tard 0 points1 point ago

It looked like he was being threatened to me. Every time the short guy took a step back, the tall guy stepped forward. That's enough for me to defend myself.

[–]CurumeR 1 point2 points ago

I think someone translated the video. The tall dude kept calling the shorter guy "homo/faggot" and the short guy kept telling him "GTFO".

Of course, we may never know for sure whether or not he was threatened. But yeah, if threatened, punch approved.

[–]FFSrandy 1 point2 points ago

"I'm going to hit you now, are you ready?"

[–]TheForsakenExile 1 point2 points ago

Based on the situation, -sucker punch- or not, I wouldn't wait for a fair fight with someone that much larger than me. If some guy was in my face and wouldn't back off, and it came to having to knock him out to leave, who the fuck cares if it's a -sucker punch- or not >.>" People who are assholes who harass people for the hell of it, deserve nothing less than a sucker punch.

[–]MidEastBeast777 0 points1 point ago

I agree. Also, size doesnt matter in this case. Small guy or big guy gets within my punch radius hes gettin knocked the funk out

[–]kleinerDAX 1 point2 points ago

He was - I think in the original video someone posted a translation somewhere along the lines of "Get out of my park nigger" or something.

[–]subliminal_upvote 10 points11 points ago

Not quite. This guy provided a translation; the closest thing to "get out of my park nigger" that the blue guy said was "go away".

That being said, since the video doesn't show who started it or how, we can't know which of these two is the bad guy.

[–]kleinerDAX 1 point2 points ago

Well, the translation I saw was clearly wrong lol - it is the internet after all... :/

[–]AgentVanillaGorilla 2 points3 points ago

Uhhh, the black guy was calling him a faggot.

[–]DJ8Man 14 points15 points ago

Well, he was wearing capris. Easy mistake to make.

[–]kleinerDAX 0 points1 point ago

Also notice how I said "I think". lol

[–]AgentVanillaGorilla 0 points1 point ago

The "Uhhh" part of my post probably made me sound like a douche. Sorry about that.

[–]kleinerDAX 0 points1 point ago

S'all good. :)

[–]thesnowflake -1 points0 points ago

dunno, but he is fucking lucky, if he didn't get that one punch KO his ass was getting beat

[–]clockworkdiamond -1 points0 points ago

I agree. Also, I doubt that there would be such good footage of it if the little guy didn't plan the entire thing.

[–]Douchebox 1 point2 points ago

Well, he wasn't. I've seen the video posted on justiceporn a bunch of times. Don't know why people are upvoting you for something that is wrong. I guess I should just start beginning all of my posts with "Why do I feel" and then I can get away with jumping to conclusions.

[–]Atmos_Fear 9 points10 points ago

Dude, his arms are ridiculously long!

[–]zerotwofive 14 points15 points ago

He could find work as a forklift

[–]imgonnacallyouretard 1 point2 points ago

I'm 6' tall and normally proportioned. A couple of days ago I saw a man who was at least 6'7", and his hands by his sides were lower than mind. Would not want to box that dude.

[–]chachemander 8 points9 points ago

that is almost exactly how a giant dies in skyrim

[–]trooperx99 0 points1 point ago

i was thinking the same thing

[–]thilehoffer 18 points19 points ago

He looks like little mac from punch out.

[–]mbg98 4 points5 points ago

Redditors - can we perhaps put in a Punch Out Star and perhaps a couple of green gloves?

[–]minecrafterambesten 1 point2 points ago

And put it on gifsound with this music!

[–]number420pencil 23 points24 points ago

What i've learned from all these gifs/vids.

Nobody ever notices a punch coming from the left. Want to knock somebody out? 1 left handed punch will do.

[–]illmanored 5 points6 points ago

Don't know why you're being downvoted, for the most part what you said is true. Must be from people who've never been in fights. Even professional boxers have to adjust their training to prepare for southpaws.

[–]tagger418 0 points1 point ago

Upvote to both of you just because

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]illmanored 7 points8 points ago

It's very easy to knock someone out with a punch they never see coming. Even in professional boxing it's always the punch you don't see coming that get you. He lands the punch square on the jaw and the guy who got knocked out doesn't have his jaw clenched. The video isn't fake, i've seen the full video. If it was fake he would have braced his fall.

I think his point was that lefty's have an advantage because most people are expecting a right hand.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]illmanored 3 points4 points ago

Chin tucked, jaw clenched. Boxing 101.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]AmpleReason 1 point2 points ago

Striking the jaw creates a ripple effect due to the elasticity of the muscles which bind it and shakes the skull, the brain bounces in the inner walls of the skull and shuts down to protect itself.

You can knock someone out with the slightest of hits if it connects well enough.

[–]Darth_Tard 1 point2 points ago

Could you do me a favor man? The guy deleted his comments, and since I train Muay Thai and you seem to know what you're talking about, I'd like to know what he said. Could you post his comments or something?

[–]illmanored 2 points3 points ago

He said he didn't think the gif was real and it's not that easy to knock someone out. He also didn't think being a southpaw in a fight was an advantage, which it is in most street fights because most people don't expect it. I don't know why he deleted his comments, he wasn't being an asshole and when I explained it to him he said ok.

[–]Darth_Tard 2 points3 points ago

Ah ok. Thanks bro.

[–]Chuckisbossingit 1 point2 points ago

I just brought you out of the negatives. I'll be expecting my cookies in the mail shortly.

[–]Captain_Kuhl 0 points1 point ago

I'd guess since the majority of people out there are right hand-dominant. BRB, picking a fight with strangers in the park.

[–]ablebodiedmango 0 points1 point ago

Makes sense. In the few fights I've been in, I've always paid more attention to the right side of the guy (my left) to see what his right hand does. It creates a huge blindside on my right side, which is how I missed another guy punching me from that side.

[–]Meshay -1 points0 points ago

The punch in the gif is coming from the right.

[–]Kindguy90 0 points1 point ago

i think they were all ganging up on the little guy, cause if the audience didnt know either of them, they'd be screaming OOOOOOO like any other public confrontation. But everyone got quiet lol

[–]nordpol 0 points1 point ago

isnt the guy in the background hitting him from behind?

[–]MauiWowieOwie 1 point2 points ago

Left-handed too.

[–]elastic-craptastic 3 points4 points ago

Less impressive if he is actually left-handed.

[–]MauiWowieOwie 2 points3 points ago

Well that's obvious.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]prtyfly4awytguy9 2 points3 points ago

Southpaws lead with their right leg.

[–]Darth_Tard 0 points1 point ago

He was in a right-handed stance. More likely it's just that the short guy knows how to box. You'll see him slip his head after the punch to avoid a counterpunch, much like boxers and other martial combatants do.

[–]RippingandtheTearing 0 points1 point ago

Napoleon Complex.

[–]mcellucci 0 points1 point ago

Little Napoleon better hope Big Guy never wakes up.

[–]aviscacha 1 point2 points ago

The large person removed honor from the equation the second they started trying to bully a much smaller person.

Additionally, I don't know about those of you exclaiming "sucker punch", but if I'm going to start punching a stranger it is because they have literally left me with no other options.

This situation is not a sports contest, it is self-defense. You have no idea of a stranger's intentions, mental state, or what kind of weapons they may be carrying, and you should not gamble your life on assumptions.

[–]aerospacemonkey -1 points0 points ago

Self-defence only applies when you're defending, not when you're throwing the first punch to a shirtless guy, with obviously no weapons, trying to talk his way out of the situation like an adult.

You can see by little Napoleon's reaction that he had no intention of talking it out, or removing himself from the situation.

[–]Zayl -4 points-3 points ago

This looks like the older guy on the right was drunk and the kids decided to pick on him because they think they're better than him. Seriously, shit like this happens all the time in Romania and I wouldn't be surprised if it was from there that this clip was from. Generally the drunks won't do shit to you unless provoked.

[–]imgonnacallyouretard -2 points-1 points ago

There a lot of blacks in romania?

[–]Zayl 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that guy isn't black.
