No, that wasn't fake. It was a grade-A sucker punch. Guy throwing it was off-balance too, he's lucky the guy he hit had a low tolerance for concussion. The guy doing the punching almost seemed drunk, too. He's right-handed. Most of his lefts missed or hit softly, his rights made contact though. He tried to stomp on his face at the end but was off-balance again and overshot.

What I like the most was how the cameraman called him a pussy while he was down for the count. Wouldn't have had the balls to say that when he was still concious. Still, most everybody in the video is guilty of douchebaggery.

whoever says this is fake is a moron, and as many others have said, have probably never seen a real fight in real life. everyone says "oh if it was real he wouldn't have done this ... or that". how the hell do you know how this guy is thinking at the point and time he's hitting this guy? you don't know anything so stop assuming. Lets get a few things straight.

1. The camera man has nothing to do with the 2 spanish guys talkin crap or the 1 guy he's talking crap to. You can clearly hear him saying "how bout some 1 on 1?" and also saying "oh it takes 2 of you guys to talk trash to 1 guy". He's just instigating, because yea, he has a CAMERA. who wouldn't want to get a figh tlike that on camera?

2. THE HITS ARE REAL. you can hear the hits. the guy gest out of the car and lands the first punch. Then as the guy starts punching him on the ground (right then left hits) you can hear his hands hitting him. They don't sound like when van damme or steven segal hit guys in movies, keep that in mind cause some of you have no clue what a real hit sounds like. They sound more like smacks. Most of his right handed hits hit the guy. He's swinging quickly and the guys head is moving back/forth with the hits, making him miss a few times. Its obvious he's right handed the way he is punching.

3. When he tried to kick the guy its obvious the guy slipped. He was off balane, watch it again. The guy is wearing socks for gods sake. Oh, so since he's wearing socks that means its staged? So you guys have never seen people who wear sandles with socks on? Maybe the guy took his sandles off to drive. I do that all the time. its easier to drive in bare feet (or in this case with socks on) than it is with sandles on.

Those of you saying its fake have no clue. If you've ever seen a REAL fight, as in REAL life, not on TV or anything, you would know that probably 90% of the punches thrown don't even hit, until there is 1 blow that dazes a guy, then the other guy comes in to finish the job off.

P.S. ROCKY IS NOT REAL BOXING BTW!!!!

QFT. Also, it's not uncommon in a fight, where both parties are adrenaline charged, for the fists to miss repeatedly. The rush of adrenaline in most people is very poorly controlled. Fine motor function is the first thing to go when the "fight or flight" hormones kick in (ie. - adrenaline). This is one of the first things taught in hand to hand combat training in Army Basic Training. I wrestled for the better part of 8 years. Wrestling is nothing if not a controlled fight with rules. It takes many years of practice and training to control adrenaline and be able to maintain some degree of fine motor function. This guy obviously has not had such training or practice and it shows.

I must admit that I am disturbed by the relatively high number of people in here insisting that this is staged or faked. It seems to me that a good portion of you have a real disconnect with reality and events. Too many video games in my opinion.

Does anyone find it odd that the cameraman's voice is nothing like the people he is filming? Or that the cameraman continues shooting footage and expecting a fight even after things start to escalate down and the guy stops talking. I could understand one or two missed punches, but almost all the shots are missed. Looks faker than the WWE.

I think perhaps it was staged and they guy took one for the team and let him sucker punch him, but they agreed after that it would be fake to minimize the damage.

So, you naysayer's hard of reading? Plenty of posts herein' from people who've actually seen or been in a fight in RL and they're correct in calling it real. Argue against the points THEY make rather than just regurgitate the idiocy stemmed from too much WWF & Hollywood.

Eh, what am I saying... you'd actually have to read.

sigh...

:roll: What are you saying? I've seen real fights and been in real fights too, and none of them looked like that.

all his rights his, his lefts missed. The kick just sucked.

If you notice the guy picks up his rag that he dropped when he punched the guy. If it was fake why would he do that?





It's real, he was just drunk, or high.

You probably wouldn't recognize the sound of a gunshot in the street either if it wasn't accompanied by hollywoodsound effects.

Fight was real.




Where can I see more???

The fact that the guy was knocked out in one punch is pretty questionable. I've only seen one person knock someone out in one punch and he was a professional (in a street fight though, not in the ring), and the guy in this video was definately NOT a professional. I've been hit just as hard as that guy was throwing punches and really, it doesn't even daze you until at least a couple hits.

I give this a 7.5 out of 10 in the fake-o-meter.

*shakes head*

Anyone insisting this is fake has never seen a real fight nor been in one. There's nothing there to suggest it is fake at all. Fights on a spur of a moment aren't well orchestrated masterpieces with choreography and special camera angles. It was obvious that the first hit stunned or knocked the guy out, and the guy was so choked up on adrenaline that he was just throwing wild blows.

If anyone wants to prove it is fake, I'll be more than happy to hit you on a street corner like that while someone else video tapes. You'll see it is real -- quite real.

Anytime I've ever been in a fight things just slow down and you have this weird tunnel vision for lack of a better word. You don't hear any outside noise, you are so focused on what you are doing that it is like being out of body almost.

I'm sure Rogue knows exactly what I'm talking about.

REAL.

I've been around enough gang fights to know this sh1t was real. Say what you want, but that sh1t was not fake. His right hand swings land, his left hand swings miss. Real street fights look like this. Lots of wildly thrown punches only a few connect.

Unfortunately in my neighborhood, you see this sh1t all the time. No biggie. And as stated earlier, punches sound like slaps, not like in the movies or in video games... sheesh

Why would he be recording the guy who gets knocked out during the entire video? It's almost as if he (the cameraman) expects a fight and a knockout.

Because the loud-mouth is the center of attention, what's he gonna film? A firehydrant?
