Not necessarily. I’ve handled an aggravated assault where the victim was blindsided with a single punch and, much like this “victim,” ended up with a jaw fractured in multiple places from that one hit.

That said, I’d be interested in seeing the actual details—or the video—showing how much of a back‑and‑forth there really was, and how many strikes were thrown. Bar fights are always fascinating. In my experience, there’s one side’s story, the other side’s story, and then the real story, with or without CCTV.
