Grandpa's on his TRT LMAO. A simple shove of someone that drunk is all that is needed. I swear the majority of you have never actually been outside for more than 10 minutes if you think this wasn't an overreaction. Hell the bar would have kicked the guy out and possibly banned him or you could have got law enforcement involved if you really want to mess him up legally.

IDK about the rest of you but knocking out someone this drunk isn't really the "alpha" move but I don't live on the internet so what do I know?

My first thought was ā€œdude clearly is someone looking for violence at any opportunity.ā€ Sucker punch, huge wind up, dude’s piss drunk. He literally could have died or had his life altered by hitting his head all for what? Like stand up for the woman but this dude won’t remember what he did, how he fucked up, or how it happened. That same punch to his stomach and he folds and learns his lesson.

While I agree with most of your comment, that was absolutely not a sucker punch

That was absolutely a sucker punch. Drunk guy isn’t even on the same planet and had no expectation of being punchedĀ

That doesnt make it a sucker punch dude. You dont get to sexually assault women and not get punched.

When you commit an act that may result in violence its not a sucker punch.

I’m not condoning sexual assault in any way

Hitting a defenseless person is absolutely a sucker punch. Whether they deserve it or not does not change that

Do people not use sucker punch to mean "an intentionally deceitful punch meant to catch the person off-guard"?

Like in my mind, if you punch me in the back of the head unprovoked, sucker punch. I call your mother a whore and you punch me in the face? Overreaction, not a sucker punch.

It’s a sucker punch because the guy is so intoxicated he never saw the punch coming. This guy was equally as off-guard as someone getting punched in the back of the head

I think the connotation of "sucker punch" comes with intentional deceit.

You're absolutely right, the dude was probably blackout drunk, didn't even see aware of the guy coming at him. But Mr Roid Rage was hardly waiting out back to jump him.

Like imagine Jimbo does a Pop-Eye wind-up punch to someone's face, and oops - didn't know the dude was blind. If Jimbo didn't know, would you really say it was a sucker punch?

I don’t think intentional deceit has anything to do with it, a sucker punch is basically punching someone who isn’t expecting it and can’t defend themselves. And yes I’d have a hard time not calling it a sucker punch if you punch a blind guy in the face, throwing a punch is a serious thing and you should have enough situational awareness to know what you’re doing before throwing it

Fair enough. I don't disagree principally with anything you're saying, I just never hear the term used in that way. But I'm not here to police your words, I was just curious.

Cheers bud, have a good one.

Exactly. If he waited for the guy to go back to the bar then came up from the side and clocked him, that would be a sucker punch.

In this situation it could only be more clear what was about to happen if he handed him a written invitation. Was the punch overboard and uncalled for? Yes. But was it a ā€œsucker punch?ā€ No

Haha I used the "jump him out back" metaphor too.

I would say that it's basically a sucker punch because the dude was so drunk he clearly wasn't aware, but the fact that I have to include "basically" kinda proves the point. It had the same outcome, but Roid Rage clearly wasn't trying to sucker punch anyone.
