That video. Especially with the girls doing the "snot worth it. Think of your career" bit he could well have been severely provoked. I shall reserve judgement.

I'm guessing that the people who filmed it were not friends of the bloke he punched given their laughing and the "great technique" quip at the end so one has to also say respect to the punchee for not having gone mega public with it himself. On the other hand that might be because he has pressed charges. I hope that's not the case.

But yeah. Ruddy is a big lad. I believe from a military background. Whether he's a nice chap or not he's probably been brought up not to take too much s**t.

But he does look really really wound up. I wonder what the bloke said / did to him.
