If those two are really drunk (as it appears they are) then I could see someone taping them out their upper apartment window. You never know what will happen when two dumb guys in leather jackets are standing around drunk on the sidewalk. Why is it whenever a video appears online that the very first thing to do is pick it apart and call shens. How about just enjoy it for its entertainment value? That's what I do.

You pvssy. You're telling us that if some guy backarmed your GF in the face (or body as someone else suggested...though it looked like her face to me) while walking down a sidewalk, you'd just tell her to suck it up...it's all a misunderstanding?
The guy purposely looked over his shoulder and smacked her in the face. I'da wailed on them too, and kick out their teeth when they were down.
Read the comments you idiots. As someone pointed out at my work. Those two guys are gypsies and do this on purpose to steal people's wallets.
I partially agree with you here, but even still, it may have been better if he had asked for an apology first, but I guess that would let them prepare. Still, the more civil action would have been to ask for an apology.
I agree. The boxer dude doesn't need any excuse to start wailing on them... Good for him. He was probably wary walking up on them to begin with, so he was primed to react.
the boxer didn't even see how the guy hit his gf or had anytime to analyze or assess the situation. he reacted with violence before he or his gf knew what was happening. it's different now that we have a birdseye view and are rewatching and analyzing the video. the first thing that would enter my mind is that this was an accident and i would get in their faces and ask wtf happened. if there's an apology and it looks like it was unintentional, then we continue on. otherwise he'd get a fist to the face.
If you were to try to steal a wallet and failed miserable, why would you stand around and get a beat down. Obviously, if you were sticking around for mere purpose of robbery, first thing to do after a failure is to escape. They didnt even try to grab the purse the girl was carrying. You're probably more stupid than ur co-worker that have an intelligence of retarded 4yr old. Only logical explanation for it is either those two guys were drunk off their ass or staged up. and why is it always idiots that call people idiots.
What a bunch of cowards in this thread. If someone hit your girl like that you wouldn't rumble with them? Jeebus.
My best friend is a boxer and I know for a fact he would have stomped these dudes a lot harder than that guy did.

Thats complete BS! Look at the video again... at :39 you can clearly see the boxer looking directly at and straight into the guys face right before the assailant swings and smacks the girl.
I lived in rough parts of town. I would always prepare myself mentally for defense when walking by ppl I didn't recognize or looked shady. If I was in the boxers shoes, I would have been prepared and reacted quickly cuz in mind I would've assumed prior to walking past them that I might get robbed by these strangers I've never seen before. The second my GF got smacked liked that I would have pounced first rather than wait and allowed the assailants to make another attack. The boxer didn't know if the guys were trying to rob them or what and reacted quickly.
Good job for the boxer guy, he did the right thing. You don't ask for an apology when it was an obvious smack to the GF done intentionally.... only a lil bitch would ask for one. Apologies are only appropriate when it's an ACCIDENT... this was no accident.
Good breakdown. I will recant my post about maybe a better way would be to ask for an apology. It seemed that it was done on purpose.
ok if the gypsie thing is true that explains alot of the doubts here:
1) the person filming also recognized them as gypsie theives and wanted to catch them in the act hence explaining the reason why 2 seemingly random guys were being filmed
2) yellow stripes knew the area and new what to look for with gypsies and had already considered there activity and location shady and was prepared
3) yellow stripes didn't stick around to see if there were more than 2 of them, he diffused the situation and left like he should have
4) the gypsies didnt fight back because they are not used to "marks" being anything but frightened or caught of guard. likely they've never had to fight before and knew they were out matched.

Bad job for boxer boy, bad job, REALLY REALLY bad job.
If you have ANY reason to suspect two unknown dudes you are approaching on the sidewalk of seriously bad intentions, then you shield your girlfriend by putting her on the side of you AWAY from the perps long before you are close to them.
In a TRULY bad neighborhood, taking on TWO unknown guys who provoke a confrontation with your fists will most likely get you stabbed in the back, or shot.
Just as with defensive driving, a truly vigilant boyfriend and his babe would have been on the other side of the street one full block BEFORE passing those two mopes.
And, sorry, but I've probably had more personal contact with actual gypsies than most of you: From this distance and angle, those two homies don't look like gypsies to me (could be entirely wrong about that, though).
It's also somewhat suspicious to me that there was no loud cry of fright from the girlfriend at ANY point this, and also no loud words or shouts from ANY of the combatants at ANY point during what would be an adreneling pumping, highly physical confrontation. Hell, many tennis players can't even offer a hard serve without grunting so loudly you can hear them even with your tube on mute.
Even so, the incident looks more real than staged.
Finally, I have to LOL at all you manly "You're all pussies, I'd beat 'em down with my uber mad skillz" guys posting here. Please remain behind the safety of your keyboards for your own good.

Gypsies NEVER fight back. It has nothing to do with their being "frightened" or "outmatched", it has to do with their long term survival.
In a staged situation, they will only hassle you as long as you don't confront them. They are there to prey on the weak and/or the stupid and easily misdirected. Their main thing is to live, physically unharmed, to ply their "art" another day. They are smart about what they do, it's what they know, they play the percentages.
They simply do not have the extensive personal and societal support system that you and I, as robust, empowered, middle to upper class Americans take for granted so unconsciously, like a fish never noticing water, because it's been a part of our existence since the day we were born.

Why is everybody calling this dude a "Boxer"? Flailer would be more accurate, I admire his courage but his boxing skills suck. In his flurry of punches he doesn't land a single solid blow. Had this guy been a real trained boxer he would have taken about 4 punches and both the perps would have been on the ground unconcious. One solid punch with a bare fist = KO

In the heat of the moment, he showed damn good form, and landed a far higher percentage of his punches than usually happens in a spontaneous street dust-up. Most street fights sans other weapons that I've seen feature FAR more off the mark flailing and usually end up in a lot of clutching and grunting and falling together to the ground.
You, sir, have simply seen too many Hollywood movies.

No, I've seen too many one punch and out street fights. I grew up in a rough neighborhood, half the guys I ran with were Golden Glove boxers, one being three time state champ. And I've spent the last 20yrs reffing Golden Glove matches so I'm fairly qualified to access boxing ability.
I agree the guy did good for an average guy in a random situation, but obviously not a trained fighter.
why do the 2 guys appear to be fighting at the beginning and then hug? Also, I have no doubt that the first guy hit the girl on purpose. They both saw they couple and he look over his shoulder and then flung his arm out there. I'm glad stripes laid into them. The only thing that concerns me about that video is who the heck wears a sweatsuit like that anyway? Was he going to a RunDMC concert?
I don't understand why half of the people on Anandtech are professional fighters.
Either way, I can't tell if the situation is an accident or not, but it still looks like the guy overreacted. He just started swinging, maybe it really was an accident.
