Default Explain this retarded fight vid to me

Vid here

Saw it from Collegehumor and I don't understand it. Ok so two guys in a park. One guy turns and hits a girl walking by with her dude who then proceeds to kick both guys asses. It looks like the dude in the white jacktet clearly sees that those people are there and flings his arm out on purpose for whatever reason. And who is filming them and why? So maybe its fake/staged. But the fighting looks realish like the boyfriend guy is a decent fighter or has training and the other two are just tards who don't want to fight. And what language is that horrible wailing?

Why I am so concerned about an internet fight vid?

When I saw this on Youtube it was described as an attempted mugging gone wrong - The two guys try to mug the couple and get their asses kicked.

No idea why someone would be filming it though.

This is so unbelievably fake, I can't believe its authenticity is being discussed.

--The ridiculous pointing by the girl-hitter at the beginning, setting up the accidental point/smack later on;

--The girl-hitter sneaks a quick peek to his left, to guage where the girl is, before pointing to his right.

--the girl hitter is wearing the microphone. Listen to the difference in the sound when he's getting beaten, and when his friend is;

--I only watched it twice, but I don't think the boyfriend, clearly a trained fighter, landed a clean shot on anybody.

The whole set-up does seem (has to be) completely staged but I'll be damned if the beatings don't seem real to me.

I saw the title in the link and immediately thought it was going to be the opening scene of Way of The Gun. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Because it's authenticy has not yet been proved in either direction. Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it fake.

The smack is not a point. It's an obvious concious hit. It has nothing to do with the initial pointing.

That's your perception. You don't prove anything.

He peeks to his left ye, maybe because the girl says something that provokes the hitter. You can't here everything being said from the camera guys point of view, and even if you could, you don't speak their language, do you?

I'm guessing he conciously smacks her of some reason.

So why do we hear them talk long before the boxer with the girl come by?

First of all, if you only watched it twice, maybe you shouldn't be so persistent. His third punch on the second guy looks clean enough to me. Anyway, the distance from the camera and quality makes it impossible to say anything certain about his accuracy.

Bottom line: You don't prove anything. I don't prove anything. But I don't claim I do.

Because the guy who hits the girl is wearing the mic.

You made your case, I made mine. I'm confident that if this goes to a jury, I win.

You guys havent seen the stuff about how punk kids all over england and other places are doing this? Its got some name for it but they basically go up to random people and give them a good smack, the pros videotape it and post it on the internet and show it to their friends.

That looks like what this was meant to be, except they picked to smack some badasses girlfriend and got a much better video instead.

After seeing that story i believe it is real.

edit: They're called "happy slappers"
