A school bully got a lot more than he bargained for, when he picked a fight with his latest 'victim'.

The tall, stocky teenager squares up to his much smaller target, looming over him and shouting aggressively, as a crowd of his cronies gather round to watch the spectacle.

But the underdog in this particular battle refuses to stay down, and the 'victim' repels his attacker with a quick one-two that leaves him reeling.
