(Hard to believe a book publisher would allow such an easily disproven claim to get into a book.) And you be the judge about the character of a person who uses a sucker punch to the face as a response to hurt feelings then runs away before the cops or his victim have a chance to respond.
Never gave or received a sucker punch. Never witnessed a real one in person. I am sure I have deserved one now and then, and reading the transcript above, I might have been inclined, and I surely would have run.
