I was not referring to the facebook page but to the boxing video that I posted which was Trayvon Martin handing himself quite well.
OK, may have missed that link. Still got it?
But that could be interpreted either way. If Martin had boxing experience then if it could show that if he started hostilities that he got a good punch in, on the other hand if Zimmerman started hostilities that he (Martin) got a good punch in.
Still doesn't show us who started hostilities.

I forgot which thread I posted it in. Look around. It was yesterday I believe.
I do not know and it is not evident from the video that Martin had formal training as a boxer or if he was just a practiced boxer. If a trained boxer, using his fists to fight is the same as using any other deadly weapon. Having some training as a fighter might have affected his state of mind in believing that he could easily take this short guy down. Because Zimmerman would not have known that Martin had any training at all. It would have affected what Trayvon Martin was thinking and made it far more likely that he did attack Zimmerman.
The situation would dramatically change the circumstances. Martin would be armed with a deadly weapon and Zimmerman been unaware that he was, the same way that Zimmerman was armed with a deadly weapon unknown to Martin.
In what universe does being a trained boxer make said individual a "deadly weapon" especially against a guy half your size???
I mean, I subscribe to the notion that size doesn't mean much in a fight but in what scenario could a featherweight boxer kill a guy that is 6'2 200 with no training???
It's extremely difficult to beat a man to death with your fists....
Not to mention Zimmermans face looked fine - I saw the gash on the back of his head but his face didn't look like he was involved in a fight...
What it looks like is that Martin tackled Zimmerman and slammed Zimmermans head into the ground then Zimmerman shot Martin after Martin backed off to leave..
There were no powder burns on Martin to suggest he was shot during a scuffle...
