Something tells me I don’t really want to see that video.

Dude just blasted him with one punch and looked like he knocked him out cold.

He got hit for certain, but reading the article it sounded like a fractured skull. Guy hit him on the jaw/chin area, he went down hard and fast. I was thinking the serious injury occurred when the back of his head hit the pavement, it was a whipping action.

The sound let’s you know it was serious 😖

...I wonder if Mrs Wimsatt read the article (?)

Case of a "yo mama" joke gone bad?

Seriously though, wish the kid well, hope he's able to recover.

Gonna say he probably hit his head on the pavement when he fell. A pop to the jaw isn't going to cause a severe injury, concussion maybe, or broken jaw, but combined with a blow to the cranium on pavement, that can be life altering.

Ezekiel done dragged Tony's mamma into it. This video wasn't quite as funny as Tony and Ezekiel.

Ya he put him to sleep on the punch. When you get hit like that your body is not going to protect itself on the fall back to earth. When that happens your either going to crumple in a pile or bang your head on the ground.

Thankfully neither one has happened to me in a fight. Been knocked senseless before with being hit with bottles, clubs etc but I never got out of the fight. Always ended up on the better end of it. I don't know if it was better because it's bothered me today on some of the fights I got in and what I did to em.

Hate to see this. Kids need to learn to walk away.

I'm sure Drew Barker could relate to this!

It’s strange to say, but hopefully it cracked his skull because the damage is usually worse when it doesn’t. If the brain is bleeding or swelling and that is contained, the only direction it can go it down the spine. A fracture gives the brain room to swell.

I’ve seen the aftermath (punch, hit back of head on ground) when the skull didn’t fracture and the guy will essentially be a vegetable. Still yet, the guy in the video is undoubtedly in an ICU and still has a long road to recovery. Prayers for him!

Huh? No, not close. A skull fracture does not give the brain room to swell.

I knew 2 guys about 19-20 got hit like this. Both lived in Lexington both died of brain injuries due to being knocked out and hitting their head just like this.

Prayers for him, and prayers the other guy gets the same in prison

Quency Magoo would not approve of this kind of stuff going on at his old school. Of course, he would not see much of it.
