    Kind of satisfying to see this prick get put in his place but even so, I always cringe when I see somebody get flattened like that on a hard surface like concrete. The human head is way more fragile than we think. Francis is most likely going to lose his job I imagine as the twat was walking out of the area, probably face a charge of some kind too.

    That aggressive twat was approaching him and raised his hand, so old mate Francis was right to defend himself.

    I do agree, and he deserved it. I'm just trying to see it from the perspective of what the courts would say if the guy died or got seriously injured, would that hold up? Francis is one of the genuine nice guys of the sport, would be shit if he got in serious trouble over it.

    I like how his aggressive bald mate was talking all that shit to the small Asian security guard but as soon as his mate got laid out by Francis he was all "there's no need for that". :Jest:

    Also, people need to do their research, the guy has shared a ring with Mike Tyson and Vitali Klitschko, he's not going to be intimidated by some little bellend at Wembley BoxPark :Jest:

    You beat me to it this morning Slice. Absolutely worthy of an upload.
    What Francis did was medically and morally unsound but probably not legally unsafe. The mong was generally in retreat but at the moment he approached Francis he, well, was approaching Francis :Jest:

    Francis is also 57 yoa by now. No matter how dangerous he is as a former boxer, he's approaching pension age and finished with a 23-24-1 record.

    Hahaha mate I legit thought Pele Reid was going to be the next big thing after I saw him destroy Wayne Llewellyn in one round, Francis and then Orlin Norris stopped that hype train pretty damn quickly :Jest:

    Bit of a cheap shot from Francis imo but that's what happens when you act like an idiot. Nonetheless, it's always a bit hard to judge those situation as we don't know what happened prior that made the small dude go crazy.

    I always find it interesting how even the most seemingly "average" (not to be disrespectful to Francis who was a British and Commonwealth champ) professional fighters are just miles ahead of your average "hard man" on the street.

    The small dude was like 140lbs so I highly doubt he would be considered an ''hard man'' on the street (yes I know that's why you put in in quotation). Still, the right hand came in mighty fast from such a big lumbering looking guy (not even considering he s close to 60). And obviously it carried a lot of power. As you say, just miles ahead of regular joes.

    I like how effortless and almost casual he throws and lands the right hand, while moving backwards mind you.

    That guy was waaaaay over 140. Francis is probably 260,270 by now so he's gonna look way bigger.

    He knocked out Vitali with a kick. Legit. But that was his peak. He never had another big win. Him and Herbie Hide were contenders for the Bombardier Billy Award for Most Statuesque Glass Jaw ever :Jest:

    His chin may always have let him down in the end (because he had some of the worst reactions to getting hit I've ever seen) but I've always wondered what would have happened had he gone into boxing first rather than kickboxing at a young age, and under a more conventional trainer than Ingle. He had speed, size, power and athleticism in bucketloads. Maybe his punch resistance looked worse than it actually was because he was a newcomer to boxing, he was still transitioning from a kickboxing stance and the trademark Wincobank style is an absolutely awful idea for a novice heavyweight.

    How EXACTLY Could You Construe This as a Sucker Punch???:Dont:

    Adrien Broner Swinging on an Unbeknownst, Unprepared, Unsuspecting Man on the Vegas Strip is a Sucker Punch…Dropping an ENRAGED Man Who’s Approaching You AFTER Flexing His Aggression on Others. Seconds Prior, is Most Definitely NOT a Sucker Punch….

    Dude was Looking Right At Francis and APPROACHED Him…

    NATHAN the Least Bit Suckerish About That Punch…

    And Before Anyone DARES to Go There, REED Doesn’t Want to Hear SHIT About the Size Difference Either…

    Spare REED the “Zelenoff Defense”…”He’s Obviously MENTAL”…”Why Would a Considerably SMALLER Man Approach a Guy Julius Francis’ Size, Unless he was Crazy”:rolleyes:

    It’s Funny How an ASS WHIPPING Brings a Level of SANITY to the So-Called “Crazy”, Isn’t It???:duck:

    CAUSE-EFFECT…

    You Know Why REED’s Never Gotten His Ass Whipped By a Considerably Larger, Former Boxer???…Because REED Stays In His Fucking Lane, That’s Why…

    The World Would Be a Much BETTER Place if a PHYSICAL Toll Had to Be Paid for Shit Talk and Shady Actions…

    There’d Be FEWER “Crazy” People and Entitled, Blowhard Pricks Also…

    Viva Julius Francis for Fighting the Good Fight!

    If he was turning around and only then the punch was thrown you could call it a sucker punch. (although still probably deserved)

    Acting that aggressively and approaching someone? 100% fair game. I don't care if the guy is bigger.

    There would be some people (not saying anybody in this thread) who would say it was the wrong thing to do even if he started throwing multiple punches before getting cold-cocked. "Being he was a former pro and a bigger guy he should have just used his defensive knowledge to avoid the blows and try to tie the guy up". :rolleyes:

    Looking forward to the now INEVITABLE book release from Julius, about 20 years after those sort of books went out of fashion.

    Mmmm, rewatching it, unless there is something major that happened beforehand, I have to backtrack and say Francis was justified. Guy more than deserved it and his bald friend, who was playing the victim card after the punch, was instigating as well.

    And tall security guard looks eerily like Joshua lol

    Fuck That…

    This Situation Harken’s REED Back to Gun Reform and WHY He Still FULLY Supports an American’s Right to Bear Arms…

    A Fightbeater Who Will Remain Nameless LITERALLY Suggested to REED, If a Person was Climbing Thru His Window, He’d Try to Ascertain WHY 1st…Then React…

    REED Even Read Similar Sentiments Within the Confines of This Thread; Francis Should’ve Known Blah, Blah, Blah….

    Bottom Line, the Party Being WRONGED Owes NATHAN to the Perpetrator…

    If You’re a Gun Owner and You See
    Someone Climbing Thru Your Window, SHOOT Him! Ask Questions Later…If His Heart was in the Right Place, He’d Have Knocked or Rang Your Fucking Doorbell!

    BANG-BANG!

    Yeah there are always bullies out there looking to hit someone as are trigger happy assholes looking for an excuse to use their weapon. Not everything can be avoided 100% but how about simply not giving anyone an "excuse" in the first place.

    I look at things on a case by case basis but generally if someone is threatening somebody physically or their property i won't have much sympathy for them. Sure there are countless examples of overreactions but regardless of one's views on it being appropriate or not, chances are nothing would have happened had someone not instigated it in the first place.
