It can be argued, boxing is a skill that is inherently wired into the human brain. And with ‘making a fist’, being one of the first actions subconsciously performed by the human body, it comes as no surprise that punching is the first line of defense in most fights. In fact, in a recent street fight, a man was seen downing his girlfriend with a right hook. And, professional boxer, Steve Cunnigham, had a few choice words to say about it.

A page called ‘Fight Haven’ recently shared a video of an altercation between a man and his (potentially ex) girlfriend. The duo begins by having a verbal argument, post which she proceeds to unleash a volley of punches aimed at his face. However, he was seen taking the punches without flinching. And also had a blank expression of the same the entire time. Moreover, it can be said that this was reminiscent of the multiple iron chins of boxing.

The man quickly lost his patience. And went on to down the girl with a brutal right hook. He even had a word of warning for the woman behind the camera, “She punched me. You need to back the f*ck up.”

A lot of Twitter users were not in agreement with the man’s actions. Additionally, @AurumMaximus also mentioned that a “real man would have walked away from the situation”.

But Cunningham quickly contradicted by saying a real woman would not have laid her hands on the man. And that there was no reason for him to walk away.
