Warning The vid of him beating on the old man might be too much to watch for some viewers.

Loved it - wish the fight could have continued - here's the guy he picked on:

The "smaller man" that Garland challenged was Terrance “Wrong Turn” Saeteurn, a pro MMA fighter ranked 132nd in the Pro Men’s Flyweight division in the U.S.

How would you know if his race was mentioned or not if you didn't open the article and read the story, see the photo of him and the video of him in the ring?

If anyone has eyes in their head to see with then the guy's race didn't need to be mentioned. Look at the photo and the video and you can see for yourself what that big coward's race is.

It’s my opinion that based on what he said he did look at the article. The race of the offender wasn’t mentioned which is often the case when the offender is black whether or not there is a pic or video.

Reread the question. Why wasn’t the race of the offender mentioned while the race of the victim was?

Answer: because media is sensitive to talking about race when the offender is black. If the offender were white they’d be loud and clear about it.

Has nothing to do with the video. Why mention the race of the Asian if there’s video of him?

On the flip it was great to see him get beat up by the smaller guy. If I was the gym owner of the fighter I would have been very careful leaving that gym that night because the Thug is the type that would lay in wait, shoot you, steal your wallet and leave you for dead.

I agree. Anyone who knows the man and saw the video is laughing and telling friends.

The brotha needs to keep it street with a bit of payback if he wants to show his face in the hood again.

A sign of the times. I too find it amazing that someone could commit armed robbery and assault and still be walking the streets.

Maybe ten years back when I was visiting my mother in San Francisco. She lived across the street from San Francisco State University at that time. Notices had been posted around the campus waring of assaults that had taken place during the evening. I went to the campus security office and asked for more details but they wouldn't mention the race of the assailant. I was told race wasn't relevant. So I asked if race wasn't relevant why then did the notices in the parking area warning of car theft mention Asian suspects?

The officer couldn't and wouldn't answer me.

I'm actually disappointed the smaller opponent didn't continue pressing the fight. The thug wasn't beaten up at all, he just had trouble trying to beat down someone that's not asian and 70 years old.

True karma and justice would have had the smaller guy continuing the fight until he wore the thug down then knocking him out. And someone filming him sprawled on the floor, "you got knocked the....."

This was just an overall weak response by the gym.

The thug clearly backed off which ended the fight. If the owner of the gym pressed his opponent to continue his attack he might have been held libel if the thug was hurt.

Yes, the thug signed a waver but he also signaled he wanted the fight to stop. The thug humiliated himself and the owner did the right thing by then tossing him out.

Bingo. His answer or lack thereof speaks for itself. That double standard clearly defines how racist and dangerous that is.

When you have a suspect, describe that suspect. Don’t be a coward and a racist. People need to be protected.

I agree that the opponent did the right thing by stopping when the thug waved out, but when I see “humbled...in viral fight video,” I’m expecting a fast and serious fight where the much smaller opponent lays him out before he even thinks of calling for a time out. A more appropriate description would be that he embarrassed himself against what he thought would be an easy opponent. I don’t think he was humbled at all.
