Funny video--black pimp gets KOd

An oldie but a goody! We've linked to this here before.
At a second look it seems staged, the one knock out punch just does not look good enough to do the job and then the guy looks up at the camera and postures which tells me it was sent up to some degree.

The legend behind the video:
The white guy is a martial arts instructor. They were filming a class in an upper story of the building overlooking the street when someone noticed the pimp in the altercation with the prostitute. The instructor goes down to confront the guy, and the rest is on film. He looks up at the window because he knows his class is watching and filming the event.
The strike he hit him with was not a punch but a knife hand to the side of the neck. There is a nerve that runs alongside that neck, that when struck hard enough, can be partially disabling and disorienting, as seen in the video. I've been hit in the same manner and reacted similarly, although not as bad. I believe the pimp was drunk anyway.
If you follow the video to the conclusion, you'll notice that the camera focuses on the plates of the taxi for further identification. I don't believe the video was staged.
Further additions to the legend say that the instructor was also an off duty copy and ultimately received time off for not arresting the pimp after striking him.

Very entertaining. If it's staged then the black guy is a really good actor/ stuntman. His head appears to smack the concrete really hard (and bounce off it,) and his inability to walk unassisted after the "strike" was pretty convincing. I hope it was real, it's really great if it is.

I had an instructor who flat out said that blacks cannot handle "rabbit"
punches and hits to the side/back of the neck as well as whites, although
he felt they could generally take a better shot to the point of the chin and
the temple area (look at how thick the muscle over the temple area is on
many blacks). He said the inability to handle shots to the neck is why
boxing refs are so careful to baby black fighters, to protect them, when
another fighter bombs away at this area. Anyone have any info or
thoughts on this? I mentioned before a Mexican boxing trainer who told
me he felt blacks had good chins, but couldn't handle sustained body
shots or shots to the side of the neck for that matter. He felt the way to
chop them down as he said was beat their bodies, beat the neck if you
get a chance, but hit them square in the chest, and in the lower areas of
the ribcage, etc. I will say Mexican fighters back in those days who did
this were trouncing blacks the vast majority of the time.
