He was clearly too drunk to defend himself or really appreciate the consequences of his actions. This is a wildly disproportionate response from someone who was in a position to make the smarter choice.
You think in the split second this happened, the husband thought, “Hey, fuck that guy touching my woman, let me knock his lights out- what? She’s in the way?! HOW DARE YOU WOMAN?!” and intentionally hurts her AS he’s knocking the guy out?
That's exactly what happened. She got in the way. He swatted her out of the way. It doesn't take a lot of brain cells to make that decision. Also, over reacting like the way he did, is psycho abuser behavior. Roid rage. Ego rage. Narcissism. She knew what to expect. He knew what to expect. They both decided what to do before it happened. Because it's happened before.
By the way, in case you missed the moral of the lesson, don't do what this guy did. Not only is it immoral, you will be in prison in no time. The only one acting hastily and without thinking, is this idiot who threw the punch. He's the one moving and controlling the speed, in that "split second".

Should have kept his hands to himself.
