    It keeps getting pulled.

    Anyway, little kid starts the fight, throws a couple of punches to fattie's face and stomach. Then fattie gets mad.

    Well, I don't think that there is anyone around that argues the size and strength don't matter in a fight, at least not anyone with half a brain.

    Little guy wasn't familiar with the concept of "hit and move", especially against a dude that size & strength. And if the small guy started the fight, well he's on his way toward winning a Darwin Award...

    To make this thread interesting:
    Why would you suggest the "hit and move" VS a bigger opponent?
    The issue, if you allow me to tkae an different view, is NOT Hit and don't get hit because THAT is an issue that is present REGARDLESS of size.
    The issue is causing ENOUGH damage on a bigger person so as to incapaciate them and prevent them from doing the same to US.
    I submit that the lacking element was NOT "hit and move" but lack of destructive power ( in the case of strikes) or the lack of being able to break/counter the clinch that result and getting lifted and dropped on his face.

    I have seen a few fights of unequal size ( in my time kyokushin had no weight limits) and the times the little guy won was when he was able to incapaciate the bigger guy ( power strikes), the times where the little guy survived was when he was able to hit and run ( usually this backfired eventually) and the times the little guy got creamed was when his strikes made very little effect on the bigger guy - Case in point said video.

    scrawny kid got his tune up and wake up call early on in life.

    Definitely a huge win for gingers everywhere.

    Still, it was good that the little crap got creamed.
    He will think twice before hassling someone big enough to slam him hard.

    I just saw a more complete version of the vid via a friend on Facebook. Apparently the little kid REALLY deserved his whoopin'. He punched the bigger kid in the face a couple of times as well as punching him in the stomach. Of course the big kid is the one who got suspended from school, even though he was just sticking up for himself...

    I've seen the longer version of the video as well. There isn't ordinarily a case so clear cut of someone getting their just desserts.

    That little kid thought he could torment the bigger fatter kid, and he paid dearly. Reminds me of the Clint Eastwood line "mans (little dumb kid in this case) got to know his limitations".

    The big kid clearly wanted nothing to do with this fight, but he wasn't afraid to use his size.

    If he's a lumberjack, he's okay. He works all night, and he sleeps all day.



    Sorry.
