Semantics aside, he is right
Stokes is lucky.
Once you punch someone with that amount of force, you have no control over what happens next or what the effect will be, or whether you are walking away NG of affray or doing time for manslaughter. He got away with 'just' causing a concussion this time.
There might be a low chance of causing an injury or death, but that's all you're left with - chance.
