As someone who used to occasionally brawl in my wild youth I can confirm it's the short stocky kings you need to watch out for way more than the tall dudes.
Short dudes either become the funny sidekick who can talk their way out of a fight or they learn to fight and are forged by it.
Plus a shorter dude has a lot more advantages in a fight than a 6'5 twig.
Smaller target too With short guys its best to try to close the distance and pin them Punching down is surprisingly difficult, not to mention they can land easy hits on your abdomen.
I've taken hooks straight to my chin and barely even flinched while a graze on my temple left me dizzy. It really depends on how you get hit, not so much the force.
Sort of, I suppose. It's the puncher's chance. No matter how skilled you are or how tough you are, anybody can go down to the puncher's chance. The 4 move check still requires some strategy. No strategy in the puncher's chance.
Unironically and it's also far more difficult to anticipate than a punch. If you get your technique down, it's lightning quick. I've seen people get knocked out cold from well placed slaps.

Wild haymaker right to the chin. That's what can happen when you don't keep your hands up.

I was under the impression that he is tiny enough to be an ankle biter.

It doesn't look like he hit him that hard to me, i'm surprised that dropped him

If you get the sweet spot it doesn't require a lot of force.

Especially if you've never been really hit before. It's jarring.

Yeah maybe he did catch his temple there, thought it was just a graze across the jaw at first

You hit the right spot of the jaw it can be like a knife through butter.

It's amazing how quit that guy was to take of his gloves and start wildin' when he clearly didn't know how to fight (and has a glass jaw).

so what's the defence to it to land a proper counter jab? guard or slip?

Keep a guard up to protect your jaw and let the punch fizzle on your shoulder. Counter can be a well placed uppercut while the opponent is open.

btw an open handed slap gets you more humiliation points compared to a punch. a genuine rarity these days

He's probably not even that short. Baseball players are usually fricking huge. Probably from the roids.
