Anyone who has studied any martial art for any length of time knows not to do that. Any white belt could have shown this guy up. The first thing they teach a new white belt is how to block a punch. The second thing they teach is how to throw a punch. When you prepare to throw a punch you keep your fist in close to your body. Then you go straight in to the target. It's much more difficult to block that way and you have a better chance at striking the target.
A roundhouse punch is very easy to block since it approaches the target in a wide arc. The fact that the punch's path is in the form of an arc gives the defender much more time to see the punch coming and get a block up.

Its not karate. It looks like some type of kung fu could be a shaolin set from the looks of the opening 'Hero' pose and the open palm leading when he was advancing. I could be wrong because they taught northern shaolin at the 'school' went to but I did chen tai chi and a little bit of hsing-yi.
As for throwing a punch- power generation is different in kung fu. Some styles have the power come from the feet up, the momentum of you body mass, or the turning of your body (can't really explain this one without showing you) so you do not have to have your fist close to your body to throw a good punch. The best example that comes to mind is the 1 inch punch.

Hey, whatever gets the job done. He may have looked like a half-cocked crazy retard, but it sure threw his "opponent" off.
In any case... red shirt white karate boy > thuggy mcthuggershorts
