People that have gotten in a few fights are less apt to punch another person's skull. It's a great way to bust your knuckles and incapacitate yourself.
Ah, this is an excellent point!! There is a great deal of discussion regarding the ability of Martin to overtake Zimmerman and gain the upper hand. As has been pointed out, Zimmerman was the overall larger man, with Martin being taller, but much thinner and probably overall less powerful. But we must remember that size is not always everything, and a skilled and capable combatant can get the better of a lesser skilled but more powerful opponent.
So, as you point out Oldstyle, based on Zimmerman's account, we can expect that Martin was not an experienced or skilled fighter. Which explains why he was able to overcome a more powerful opponent.
Wait....
