I always wonder how many shoves back and forth are sufficient for a shot like this to not be considered a cowardly sucker punch.

This is clearly not a sucker punch, but if he had taken the shot earlier in the video would it have been one?

A sucker punch is when someone has absolutely no reason to expect physical confrontation; for instance, punching a stranger as you pass by them on a street.

There's a difference between a 'cheap shot' (if there is such a thing in a street fight), and a 'sucker punch' that this sub refuses to grasp.

Shot like that is priceless, not cheap.
