When the video starts, the kid in the white shirt seems to be in control of the fight. However the kid in the black shirt knocks him to the ground in short order, even getting in a cheap kick while he was down. One man in the background shouts “Let him get up,” obviously enjoying the fight. When the guy in the white shirt gets up, he throws what could be very solid punches, if the guy in the dark shirt wasn’t so good at avoiding them.

You can watch the fight here.
