Settle down, Gentlemen. The fight was obviously fake.
I'm surprised that some people actually believe this was a real fight. I'll try to explain why, to me, this was obviously a rehearsed act:
There were 4 cameras filming this, positioned within (roughly) a 120 degree arc around the stage.
This was some rapid-fire editing. In the first 11 seconds, the video was switched between cameras 7 times. Yes, eight different edited views within eleven seconds!
Just before the guy was hit, that video segment was taken from the camera on the far left of the stage.
At 0:08 in the video, the moment she was "slapped" back, the editor switched to the 2nd camera from the left.
From this camera angle, the woman was facing 180 degrees away from the camera when she was "slapped" -- this was the worst possible camera angle of all 4 cameras filming the event. Also, note the combatants' positioning. They were standing obliquely rather than facing each other. The woman was standing blocking the guy's right arm from the camera used in that shot (but to a lesser degree on the camera shots that were edited out)
Since the other 3 cameras would have had a much better angle of the woman receiving the "slap" (the fourth camera from the left had the best angle of all 4 cameras, but none of it's 'fight' video was shown) -- with the TV viewer seeing at least some of her face rather than just the back of her head, as well as the guy's arm in motion -- why would the video editor have chosen to switch to the worst possible camera angle during such an important instant? Could it have been to try to hide the fact that she was never touched at all?
OK, maybe I'm getting a bit too technical and confusing ....
Here's a much simpler clue to the authenticity of this "fight" -- if you play the video in slow motion when she hits that guy, you can see that he jerks his head away before her hand even reaches his face.![]()
