Comment on Anon is a fighter
southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThat was essentially what I was going to comment.
You punch a skull like that, you’re breaking knuckles. It happens vs other humans as it is, no way do you punch a gorilla in the face and do even the same amount of damage your hand takes. You’re sure as hell not knocking it out.
As entertainment, the idea is awesome, because I can imagine this relatively small guy squaring up against a silverback, all confident and executing the footwork perfectly, throwing a right hook just as hard as he can, and then there’s a spray of blood from his hand, followed by the gorilla turning him into steak tartare in a minute or less.
Has dude never been to a zoo that has gorillas? Back in my prime, I would have been a heavyweight, and I feel like a damn twig next to a gorilla, no matter how much height I have on one. And I’ve never been that close to one. Seeing them twelve feet away was intimidating as hell.

They’re fearsome in a fight, but even more admirably, they don’t take themselves that seriously

Worth it to watch even for the first couple minutes to hear the sound

I haven’t watched the video yet, everyone is asleep and my headphones are in another room.
But I love your user name, and felt you needed to know that immediately

I love this guy’s content. Maybe because it’s related to nature in all its deadly splendour, but I often do a double-take on the ‘will kill you’ euphemisms.
This guy needs to reboot Hinterland Who’s Who for Canada.
