When it comes to street altercations, there are a few things you want to avoid… Pulling guard when facing multiple attackers. Going into a fight totally drunk. Sucker punching someone. Punching a woman in the face in front of her boyfriend.

The following footage falls under the last category.

A woman is having a slurs-filled verbal altercation with a man wearing a beanie as her boyfriend is standing nearby. The man walks up to the woman’s face, but she does not have any of that and slaps the guy.

Do I condone the slap? I actually think this was a bit extreme, they were merely exchanging slurs at this point. I am not sure the slap warranted the following reaction though…

The beanie-wearing man, mad after being slapped, throws a big right hand to the woman face…

And this was the beginning of the end for him.

What is particularly striking is the contrast in the woman’s boyfriend’s behavior, who had stayed very composed up until that point, but loses it and transforms into a beast at the sight of his girlfriend getting punched.

The boyfriend throws a right hand at the man who walks away. The boyfriend follows him and starts throwing big punches before securing a body lock and slamming his foe HARD on the concrete. Obviously very dazed, the man who punched the girl doesn’t know this is not the end of the beating yet. The woman’s boyfriend ends up in mount position and throws vicious punches to his face, as his girlfriend throws a couple soccer kicks to his face. The boyfriend seals the deal with HEAVY punches to the now-unconscious man.

This altercation was particularly violent, and I can’t deny that no one was totally black or white in this whole mess.

Nevertheless, if you punch someone’s girlfriend in front of him you shouldn’t be surprised if a good ole ass-whooping comes your way.
