It looked really powerful but it didn't seem to do any serious damage. This whole fight is all flash and no substance. I think the guy on the receiving end of the kick barely noticed it.

If you watch his right fist closely before he throws his first "punch" at 1:38, it actually gyrates as if it were somehow building up the fury it would ultimately unleash, only to produce the best air shot I've ever seen! You couldn't even script that! Also, from 0:27 onwards watch the stray Corinthian venture onto the other half of the pitch: some Avai sub has been watching too many Kung Fu films (before gracefully hopping a 30 yard retreat).

Those kids could fight all day long and they'd never hurt a fly. Ah why did they stop the fight? Those kids could fight all day long and they’d never hurt a fly.

How many times do you have to try before you hit a guy square in the face as opposed to tickling his ear? LOL@1:40.
