What do you do when you are faced with a guy twice your size who wants to fight you? The student in this video did the best he could under trying circumstances.
In terms of their physical proportions this was undoubtedly a true ‘David vs. Goliath’ battle that was about to go down in this school hallway.
The guy referred to as ‘Biggie’ in the video truly lives up to his nickname, appearing to be of super-heavyweight proportions, twice as broad and head and shoulders taller than the kid he’s about to fight.
Egged on by other bystanders, the smaller kid initially tries to put on a brave face as he approaches ‘Biggie’, who’s positioned himself in front of the exit to block his potential escape route.
However, as the big man starts to approach him, the smaller kid’s body language indicates that he doesn’t want to fight, and he looks behind him nervously.
As if he wasn’t at enough of a disadvantage already, ‘Biggie’ then decides to bum-rush him while he’s still looking the other way and grabs hold of his head.
The smaller kid is able to react quickly and wrenches his head free, then as ‘Biggie’ comes after him again he manages to use his momentum to execute a perfectly timed throw, launching the giant off his feet and sending him flying down the hallway.
Impressive stuff, but though ‘Biggie’ lands with a thump, he immediately gets back to his feet and starts charging towards his rival like a raging bull.
This is a pivotal moment in the fight. Despite momentarily having gained the upper-hand, the odds are still firmly stacked against the smaller guy here.
As such, he makes the smartest possible self-defense move he could in the heat of the moment and sprints away in the opposite direction, with ‘Biggie’ in hot pursuit, but unlikely to catch him.
The best move in a situation like this would have been to avoid the confrontation in the first place as this fight could easily have turned out a whole lot worse.
Nevertheless, after being airmailed by a student half his size, hopefully in the cold light of day the big man’s ego will have taken a dent, and perhaps he’ll think twice before throwing his weight around in future.
