Gaelic football player dies after being punched in the head in New York
This is a big reminder fellas about the difference in body weight and why trading punches with attackers is often a fools errand.
The attacker is 25 and the soccer player is 21. They had a dispute in front of mutual friends at an Irish bar in New York. The scuffle spilled out into the parking lot and the big guy laid him out with a punch and killed him.
Ego is clearly the biggest issue here. Nobody backed off or de-escalated the situation. Pro soccer player guy should have backed off, because he has a lot more to lose than the other guy. Also that guy CLEARLY outweighs him by a great deal.
Look at that square jaw. Look at his high deltoids and shoulder size in the cropped image. Check out the width of his neck. He probably weighs 200-225lbs. The soccer player is likely 160-180 at the very most.
We do not know if the bigger dude was a fighter or not, but he clearly lifts weights if nothing else and he is big with a wide neck.
The larger the neck and jaw, the more punching power can be absorbed.
For you smaller guys that are not 220+ or at least 100kg, you really need to attempt to de-escalate a situation as much as possible because you cannot honestly know what some large men know about fighting. Larger men can possibly be anything from Rugby, American Football, Hockey, Wrestling, or even basketball players and they might be very very physically strong. They may not be capable of using sound technique but if they land a haymaker flush it could put you in a coma.
These athletic men are what I like to call 5%ers. They are more powerful than 95% of the rest of the human population, even if they are years removed from said contact sport. Soccer is hardly a contact sport, more of an endurance sport. Sure the legs are ultra strong, but they are bottom heavy with the quads and hamstrings. They would make good Muay Thai guys, but that is neither here nor there. The fact is that they are weak up top and can get rushed like they are a normal person.
At least basketball players are strong up top and bottom by design from their sport. They also tend to have good height and arm length and understand body spacing at a high level.
Soccer athleticism is absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.
Also, there is the 800 pound gorilla in the sense that non-Americans have no idea the level of scumbaggery and ruthlessness people in bars and the streets have towards other people in the USA. Fighting in the USA can get you 10 years in prison for assault. In the UK they used to just send lads that scuffle home. Here they send you to prison to fulfill the slavery quota here for the private corporate prison industrial complex.
So if you know this, the only people willing to fight others in public are almost hard criminals when you really think about it. If you can get jail for spitting in the USA, you
really have to be bold to throw punches in a non-self defense situation. In fact you really have to be nuts to want to fight strangers in the first place. New York may not have guns floating around white guys, like in Texas, but in general you do not know what anyone has, so it is very unwise to get in people's faces here.
There is also a big age/maturity issue at play here, but if you guys are reading this, likely you are alive because you have probably been humbled enough to make it past 25 to begin with. If you are a lurker and under the age of 25, learn from this and do not get into fights with other young hotheaded people over egotistical shit, and for the love of God, do not fight over women/pussy. There is no excuse for any RVF reader to ever do that.
