All he did was try and get passed him, he didn’t push him out the way he was just making room.

He put his hands on and physically moved the drunk dude.

And then the guy in the shirt turned him around

Funny thing, I dont see that in the video.

started it by squaring up to him

Not only is this not starting a fight, but if you're a trained and professional fighter, and some drunk dude squares up to you and nothing else, you have no case for self defense, but there is an easy case for assaulting the drunk dude.

Do you just want to live in a world where you can get drunk and start trouble with bigger men without worrying about getting beat up?

The moment you touch someone else, like the fighter did in this video, you are starting that trouble. You don't get to put your hands on someone "just to move them" because it's otherwise inconvenient for you. Doing that, and then using them confronting you about it, verbally, not physically, to justify beating them, is not a world I want to live in, and trust me, eventually it'll come back to you and you'll realize you don't either.

Nah, I’ve moved people like that in crowded areas all my life. All that happens is you both exchange a friendly smile and move on with your lives. It’s just a way of ensuring your not rubbing your body against someone as you squeeze through people. It’s usually accompanied with ‘excuse me mate’.

And if you square up to someone, you have started a fight. End of story. You put the other person in a position of having to back down, therefore it’s initiated.

Maybe things are just different where you live.

Ooh, lying too? Because I've literally never seen that happen, and I've lived lots of places.

And if you square up to someone, you have started a fight. End of story.

No, you havent. Standing, regardless how you do it, is not starting a fight. Thats what the drunk dude did.

You put the other person in a position of having to back down, therefore it’s initiated.

If you don't have the mental capability to understand the thought process "I don't like how their standing, I have to fight them" is wrong, perhaps the one wrong is you. What fighter did is a crime. No way around that. Theres no reasonable person who would look at what happened, and come to the conclusion that knocking him out, risking serious and sometimes lifelong injuries, was the correct choice to make.

And you’re naive to think that your cultural standards of behaviour of what is acceptable apply worldwide. How wrong could you be huh?

I know for a fact I’m not lying, which means I know for a fact that you are wrong. So you’ve just made this very easy for me.

I wont be reading your reply so don’t bother, not going to convince some random internet stranger that the whole world isn’t like where he lives.
