re: #187 Daniel Ballard

Zimmerman had a bloody nose right? A punch to the nose can take a man down easily, unless he is high, medicated or a pro skills fighter. There is this flinch response the body will often do directly away from the painful hit. Balance fails, man falls.

True, but that would need an explanation for why Martin wound sock him in the nose. Possible that he was scared enough that he lashed out, but if he was that scared, he’d have run off after the punch. Not wrestled Zimmerman to the ground and continuing the attacks.
