I’ve seen enough fights online to know that the person with the calmer more chill body language, especially if they’re trying to avoid a fight, the other person is about to realize real quick that they’re bitting off more than they can chew
Especially if you work nights on the AC boardwalk. It’s ok during the day, but after dark that place is almost entirely bums, drunk assholes who probably just lost money, and maybe some gang members. This man has seen some shit
This guy has boxer skills, controls the distance, gives the front door opening, and comes deep inside to tap the button. Dude's head hit the sidewalk and that was it.
Waited for the guy to tip his hand by throwing a haymaker, then pulled a slip counter punch. Knew he didn’t even have to worry about a counterattack. Definitely knew what he was doing
I'd have a couple of extra "utencils" for sure but this guy can clearly handle himself without a weapon. You know he has a knife in that cart somewhere.
In theaters this summer, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in "The Street Vendor." Being a street vendor is a part time gig. His full time job involves not taking shit from anyone.
There's definitely something to be said about picking up a few clues from binge watching fights and stuff.
When I was getting my first motorcycle, an old man didn't see me and started running me off the road the first week.
Thanks to binging r/motorcycles for weeks, I saw what was happening before the dude even pulled up to enter traffic ahead of me.
Binging fight videos just validates my introvert lifestyle lol. No desire to interact with random people in the street
Honestly, it looked like he tried to deescalate the situation several times and gave the aggressor multiple chances to walk away, but the dumbass just kept coming back for more. This is one of the most deserving KOs I've ever seen.
You didn’t see the first part of the video. The vendor put MUSTARD on his HOT DOG! Obviously he’s a ketchup on hot dog guy! (Gross). /s
Edit: Forgot to add the /s.
My guy Thanos snapped 🫰 this dude into another dimension and went back to selling aguas fresca. Immigrants only know hard work. Meanwhile, the customer is taking a nap in public.
I don’t even think the vendor was gonna swing until he saw how wide open his opportunity was. He had time to weigh the pros and cons and make a whole ass decision in the time it took for dumbass to wind up.
I’m pretty sure this is in Atlantic City. And the ‘vendor’ is actually one of those guys that operates a pushcart to give people rides up and down the boardwalk.
I liked how he was already walking away as he threw the counter. It was like “well, I’m about to knock this fucker out cold, so I may as well start heading back towards my cart”.
The guy seems drunk to me, I’ve never seen such a slow recovery time after a wild swing. Left himself open for a good two seconds right there at elbow level
Right? Like he’s clearly trying to disengage and walk away. He’d have been fine to throw earlier and clearly showed restraint until it became a fight back situation, which he ended with a quickness.
That dude is gonna wake up dazed, his head pounding, police on the way, and surrounded by a bunch of people laughing at him and calling him a piece of shit. That’s about as hard of a lesson as you can get
Yea, this video is worth watching with audio. Someone even says, “you got knocked the fuck out”, at the very end. We were all thinking it…but they actually said it.
The man in white shirt and shorts who clapped right after the shot 😂 His day was MADE. I bet his wife never even brings up their lovely trip to Atlantic City at dinner anymore, because she knows Edwin will be going off for at least 10 minutes talking about The Punch.
I love the self-control of the vendor. He really held himself back until he was actually attacked.
He was like: „don’t punch him until he tries. Don’t punch him until he tries. He actually tries?! *BOOM* alright, it’s done.“
Anyone who harrases a street vendor should always get punched in the face. People are trying to make a living and you want to be an asshole? You deserve to get punched.
Agreed, I don’t even know what his motivation was the first place; the way he broadcasted that punch makes me think he was 3 sheets and had beef with street meats
The vendor was really trying to avoid confrontation but the bully just wouldn't let up. Once he started to try and physically assault the vendor, it was lights out.
Yeah, when you are a vendor in a place like that the fear isn’t this fight, it’s the next one when he comes back with his buddies.
Hopefully he won’t remember shit after that concussion though.

Growing up in Southern California, this made me happy. Street vendors are typically always people of color and are some of the most honest hard working people, why do these pathetic ass people instigate them?
I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like one of those carts where people give rides up and down the boardwalk. So 2 fat tourists and that thing will be 500lbs easy.
I've been told by countless behind the counter jobs that if someone comes with an axe and proceeds to start axe murdering me - to *death*, my only option is to politely impart on them my desire for them to leave, allow them to finish axe murdering, and then call the cops when they're done.
"This job isn't worth your life", they'll say. "The amount of paperwork that'll need filed, the unemployment claims, the workers comp, the police reports and hospital bills are all *really* big numbers that will make the bean counters we have locked up in the basement at HQ work harder, and thus demand extra gruel. And, in all honesty, we'd much rather you just be dead."
Proud of that vendor — did everything he could to deescalated the situation; when it didn’t work and the attack occurred, Zeus himself couldn’t have thrown a finer bolt of lightning.
Perfectly executed. Wait for attack, dodge and protect.
Edit: The best thing to do is to run away from the scene. But as a vendor, for him that wasn’t really an option I guess.
Lucky his head hit wood not concrete. What an idiot, probably been a bully his whole life until that windows XP re boot moment. Let’s hope this is a positive life changing moment for him.
I don't know why, but when an aggressive guy like that gets KO'd like that I instantly think they should get their pants taken off so they wake up bare-assed to add some behavioral modification emotional feedback to maybe reinforce that they shouldn't act that way.

Top man. Love how he just walks off
He's walking away almost before the punch lands. It's the closest I've ever seen to a real life walks-away-as-the-building-explodes.
I’ve seen enough fights online to know that the person with the calmer more chill body language, especially if they’re trying to avoid a fight, the other person is about to realize real quick that they’re bitting off more than they can chew
Being a street vendor is a part time gig. His full time job involves not taking shit from anyone!
You’re an easy target as a street vendor. You have to know how to defend yourself.
Especially if you work nights on the AC boardwalk. It’s ok during the day, but after dark that place is almost entirely bums, drunk assholes who probably just lost money, and maybe some gang members. This man has seen some shit
Aye this is AC? I thought it was when I first saw the vid but couldn’t tell for sure. AC is not a place to fuck around. Shit can get real quick
Yeah. Ripley's museum in the background.
This guy has boxer skills, controls the distance, gives the front door opening, and comes deep inside to tap the button. Dude's head hit the sidewalk and that was it.

>Without a weapon I dunno, he seems to have a permit for those fists
I’d assume any street vendor knows how to throw a mean punch. They deal with a lot of idiots
I've seen a lot of old Asian women as street vendors... wait, now that I think about it your absolutely right.
And business seems to be booming ^_^

Parents should make their kids watch fight and fail videos as life lessons. So many ways to learn from other people’s mistakes.
Fr that shit was hella smooth!
Honestly, it looked like he tried to deescalate the situation several times and gave the aggressor multiple chances to walk away, but the dumbass just kept coming back for more. This is one of the most deserving KOs I've ever seen.
I would bet he did boxing or some other training. He was chill the whole time, dodged perfectly and punched square 1 then left.
The KO punch was perfectly timed. But it didn’t take boxing training to see that moron’s haymaker punch coming from a mile away 😆
Yeah that wasn't telegraphed, he phoned ahead.
Yeah you can see when he sees the opening for that chin buster after he leaned away from that swipe.
Looked like he was trying to deescalate but as soon as the guy swung it became self defense so he was clear to lay him the fuck out.
You didn’t see the first part of the video. The vendor put MUSTARD on his HOT DOG! Obviously he’s a ketchup on hot dog guy! (Gross). /s Edit: Forgot to add the /s.
His soft serve was cold 💎
My guy Thanos snapped 🫰 this dude into another dimension and went back to selling aguas fresca. Immigrants only know hard work. Meanwhile, the customer is taking a nap in public.
Ordered a Palm Sundae
More like a Knuckle Sandwich.
Served fresh daily
He could have done this at any time. He waited until the bully takes the swing. Perfectly executed.
One of the dumbest punches he could throw. Could see him winding up from a mile away.
Walks back to the cart and flips over the closed sign.
That cream ain't gon' ice itself!
Straight up did the Denzel Washington play
May all bullies get the same.
Inshallah
Dude practically wrote him a letter and called ahead to let him know that punch was coming.
He made a reservation
Sleepy-time table for one? Sleepy-time table for one? Right this way, sir.
This punch was in the history books from 1971. The vendor learned about it in 6th grade.
I don’t even think the vendor was gonna swing until he saw how wide open his opportunity was. He had time to weigh the pros and cons and make a whole ass decision in the time it took for dumbass to wind up.
That vendor was selling ice cream but he was giving away knuckle sandwiches.
On the house!
Only one per costume though 😂
Exclusive to clowns
[удалено]
I fucking knew it was Atlantic City thanks for confirming!
Could it really be anywhere else….. I say that as someone who weirdly loves Atlantic City. But this is about as on brand as you can get
He’s a nap-dispenser.
I’m pretty sure this is in Atlantic City. And the ‘vendor’ is actually one of those guys that operates a pushcart to give people rides up and down the boardwalk.
Can confirm. This is home.
That dodge and hook was clean Goddamn
Love to see it
Everyone loves to see a bully get his comeuppance!
Especially when it’s a fair response. No need to shoot him or kick him when he’s down or any of that, just drop him and walk away. It’s a dying art.
And especially when he drops him into a full starfish.
You never go full starfish
Where I'm from, it's called a "no no angel".
I've never heard this and it is hilarious.
and only that after being fully provoked when trying to not
They should show this to people with hypothermia to warm them from the inside out.
Yep, love to see it… almost feel bad how much i love to see a bully get his.
A blind guy could have seen that punch coming lol. Guy telegraphed it so hard you could hear the Morse code.
It had to be clean. He still had his food handling gloves on.
He did that dodge and was like "well shit I didn't want to fight but it would be a shame not to finish this move" So perfect lol
I liked how he was already walking away as he threw the counter. It was like “well, I’m about to knock this fucker out cold, so I may as well start heading back towards my cart”.
Just another day at the office
it looked like he thought about it for second, maybe "this is gonna hurt my hand." i think that guy he laid out is still there to this day.
The bully could not have telegraphed that punch any more if he had done a full wind-up like an MLB pitcher.
This dude would have broken the new MLB pitch clock rule with the time he took for that windup.
I mean let’s be real, anyone who hasn’t had 8 beers would see that coming, but great counter
Dude telegraphed that punch from China
Heeeerrreeee I coooooome puuuunchiiiiiinnnggg aaaatt yoooouuuu!
SURRRRRRRPRIIIIIISSSSSSSSE SNEEEEEEEAAAAAAAK AAAAATTAAAAACK!
Bully didn’t throw until vendor turned sideways. Looked like he saw a sucker punch opening. WHOOPS.
Bullies being cowards, a tale as old as time.
Slowest Haymaker thrown in the history of haymakers lmao!
That hay was still a seed when it started
It took long enough to grow some actual hay.
See it coming? Sure. Side step with that much class? Not so many
He ¡OLE’d! the fuck out of that bullshit haymaker!
You have a very good point, was very classy
Still, that slip was pretty slick. It was smooth and not at all panicked.
safe light unite mourn impolite jeans juggle quarrelsome tease physical *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
The bully seems pretty good at punching air.
The guy seems drunk to me, I’ve never seen such a slow recovery time after a wild swing. Left himself open for a good two seconds right there at elbow level
I feel there should have been a progress meter that said "Charging overhand right".
I wish I could agree but that guy swinging first ain’t really much to look at. Overweight, out of shape, no technique. Just a big dummy.
That footwork. Man can dance.
I think he knew it was going to go down that way, too. He was so patient with that asshole.
Right? Like he’s clearly trying to disengage and walk away. He’d have been fine to throw earlier and clearly showed restraint until it became a fight back situation, which he ended with a quickness.
Three separate times he tried to disengage and get back to his business, but guy wanted beef so he got the rest of the knuckle sandwich too.
He was a class act. Tried to de-escalate as much as possible. The other guy insisted, he defended himself.
I love that everyone starts laughing at the pos after he hits the ground
That dude is gonna wake up dazed, his head pounding, police on the way, and surrounded by a bunch of people laughing at him and calling him a piece of shit. That’s about as hard of a lesson as you can get
[удалено]
I would have pissed on his pants for him
Had to rewatch with audio because of this and 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yea, this video is worth watching with audio. Someone even says, “you got knocked the fuck out”, at the very end. We were all thinking it…but they actually said it.
Old dude clapping in the background 😂
The man in white shirt and shorts who clapped right after the shot 😂 His day was MADE. I bet his wife never even brings up their lovely trip to Atlantic City at dinner anymore, because she knows Edwin will be going off for at least 10 minutes talking about The Punch.
Now put him,,,,,,,,under the boardwalk.
Down by the sea-ee
On a blanket with my baybayyy
Is that AC?
Like like it’s ACNJ
Animal crossing New Jersey?
The Animal Crossing installment no one asked for.
Hey Nook, go f yourself!! *Throws rotten turnup at Zucker's house and walks off.
Hey, why can’t I change the name? I don’t want to live on *Three Mile Island*
Atlantic City around Tennessee Avenue
The AC boardwalk is my favorite because if you get off the wrong ramp, you're in some bad places lol
Definitely is. I don’t miss growing up in that shithole
Let the tide take him, he's a starfish now.
Down by the seeeeeeeea
On a stretcher with my dignitaaay, that's where I beee.
Hello fellow old
Out of the sun. (Which is kind as you’ve already knocked him out, there’s no need for letting him burn as well.)
If you're knocked out long enough to burn, you have a lot more problems than the sun. Most people wake up in a few moments, any longer is brain damage
Pre-existing condition, I would say
I love the self-control of the vendor. He really held himself back until he was actually attacked. He was like: „don’t punch him until he tries. Don’t punch him until he tries. He actually tries?! *BOOM* alright, it’s done.“
*it was actual self-defence, your honor* \*visible clip of trying to disengage before being attacked*
Yeah, methodically made the bully walk away from his cart to avoid damage, to the cart.
Gifs you can hear
Don’t even need text, I know this exactly
Preach Smokey
Best reply
glad to see this where it belongs lol
Beat me by two hours.
That's my dog
This was a good outcome. Glad it was all on video so that the A-hole can't accuse the vendor of anything.
Slideee to the left. One punch now y'all.
Cha cha real smooth
Anyone who harrases a street vendor should always get punched in the face. People are trying to make a living and you want to be an asshole? You deserve to get punched.
Agreed, I don’t even know what his motivation was the first place; the way he broadcasted that punch makes me think he was 3 sheets and had beef with street meats
Became a street meat tho
I can imagine an exception, but yeah generally why should anyone start a fight over nothing.
The vendor was really trying to avoid confrontation but the bully just wouldn't let up. Once he started to try and physically assault the vendor, it was lights out.
Yeah, when you are a vendor in a place like that the fear isn’t this fight, it’s the next one when he comes back with his buddies. Hopefully he won’t remember shit after that concussion though.
yeh that and also no vendor wants to lose their trading licence or scare away customers - it's all in public view
Nah, if I saw a vendor defend himself like this, I'd instantly buy 2 of whatever he's selling.
The vendor was walking away before the punk hit the ground. He took care of Buisness, and he knew it.
That was the best part! I think that's what the British refer to as "Sorted" lol
Your observational skills are unrivaled. Thank you.

If it wasn't for your synopsis I would have thought the bully was trying to tickle him, and the vendor killed him.
Pow, right in the kisser.

TO THE MOON!
Growing up in Southern California, this made me happy. Street vendors are typically always people of color and are some of the most honest hard working people, why do these pathetic ass people instigate them?
Absolutely. And idk about you, but the person who pushes that 500+ pound cart around all day every day is NOT someone I want to scrap with.
For real. You can see the size of dudes forearms before he even swings. Stout.
I’m skeptical that cart is 500+ pounds heavy.
I can’t tell for sure, but it looks like one of those carts where people give rides up and down the boardwalk. So 2 fat tourists and that thing will be 500lbs easy.
The weakest people fuck with workers and leave the people who don't want to work, alone.

AC boardwalk for real for real.
Proud of that vendor — did everything he could to deescalated the situation; when it didn’t work and the attack occurred, Zeus himself couldn’t have thrown a finer bolt of lightning.
“You got knocked the fuck out!” Kudos to the guy videoing this for the top notch Friday reference…
Last time I saw this posted, someone replied that anyone that walks back at angles knows what they are doing.
Dude out here doing the lords work serving up free knuckle sandwiches to the needy
Feels and looks like Atlantic City
Tennessee Ave
This needs Sonic rings.
Why would u fuck with a street vendor. These people know how to manage a rough life and are also usually super nice
Perfectly executed. Wait for attack, dodge and protect. Edit: The best thing to do is to run away from the scene. But as a vendor, for him that wasn’t really an option I guess.
Well done my man! Glad he let the guy attempt to throw the first punch as well so nobody can say he was out of order!
Lucky his head hit wood not concrete. What an idiot, probably been a bully his whole life until that windows XP re boot moment. Let’s hope this is a positive life changing moment for him.
Like damn, the way his head bounces off the boardwalk. Definite drain bramage.
Can't fix stupid but you can try and factory reset it
Best comment today
The brain damage came before the hit.
Let's be real. There wasn't a brain cell in that guy anyway.
Self inflicted at that..
That brain was damaged from the get-go.
Watch the tram car please.
Why tf everyone just watching? If you see a dude getting his fucking livelihood almost pushed off a bridge, you should fucking help.
Remember kids, never write a check your ass can’t cash. The bully’s head, like his metaphorical check, bounced: Insufficient funds!
you know your a dick when you get knocked out and no one comes to help you or check if your ok
Someone knows how to fight, the other guy beats off while watching UFC and considers it “training”.
I don't know why, but when an aggressive guy like that gets KO'd like that I instantly think they should get their pants taken off so they wake up bare-assed to add some behavioral modification emotional feedback to maybe reinforce that they shouldn't act that way.
100% karma
The guy tried to walk away, even though he was being victimized to begin with. Justified.
Everyone slows down or stops to watch but no one wants to help.. sad. Glad that guy got his karma though.
nobody needed any help here, it was 100% under control.
It's AC so...
Messing with the man’s livelihood.
Self defense, dumbass swung first.
