Rugby players, I thought, were tough bastards? No 'pullback' whatsoever, from the guy who punched him, yet down he goes, out cold, on his back quicker than his ex missus after 1 too many Babychams. Oh how I laughed when I saw this.

To be fair it was a nice punch. Right on the chin.

But no 'pullback' whatsoever, it's that which has got me chuckling. I did boxing for 4 years, then kickboxing for 3 years after that (training with, and by, Julie Kitchen ;)), yet I've NEVER seen anyone get 'knocked out' without any 'pullback'. Especially a fucking big bastard rugby player. I've watched quite a few 'rugby fights' on SSN etc, and there's some full-on scraps, with proper smacks to the chin etc, yet they are normally more pissed off about being sin-binned , than getting their face altered lol. It just struck me as odd, how easily Henson was flattened :D

Yeah, I agree.

Bet he was pissed. He did fall like a sack of shit.

Couldn't have happened to a bigger tit.

I thought it was a decent punch myself given how Fearns was standing and probably well pissed himself! Short, stepped in to it slightly and punched through the target. Henson was drunk as a skunk and square on

Pulling back just gives the opponent a chance to see what's coming!

Good to see. I like to think the tanned one was banging on about the six nations and sheep so Fearns simply had enough!

Hmmm

Henson is a prat. Of that there is no doubt. Chances are he was acting like one too, because he is one. That being said....

You can't just smash people in the face. He knocked him out FFS. That's not OK.

It's a funny incident, that I certainly laughed at, but there has to be a very good reason to punch someone in the face like that.

Are you trying to say being Gavin Henson doesn't count?

The only shocking thing about it is that's it's taken this long for it to happen.

God he had so much promise back in the mid-noughties. Then he got Tangoed and never recovered.

I don't know if he's got a glass jaw, but I do know that it doesn't matter how big and tough someone is, if you get caught with a good punch when you're not expected it, there is a good chance you're going down.
