He might have won the outward physical fight but he lost the inner battle of self control and reason. They both might have been of equal strength, if both the girl and lil Reese were calm and were arm wrestling she probably could had beaten 4 out of 5 times. Where he got his boost of energy was from the fact he was worked up emotionally. And at some point in the beginning of the argument he could had thought to himself "it isn't that important" and walked away a bigger man, a more mature person - instead of acting like a immature ruffian. She egged him on, and instead of him controlling his own emotions he let the girl control his emotions and let her turn them up full tilt.

Everyone has their own set of commandments or rules how they want to be treated. From the video you can tell his was 1. Don't disrespect me with a nasty attitude. 2. Don't touch me. And how does he react when those rules are broken? He starts punching and kicking her - and not just one or two punches but really he gives her a beating - like a lunatic. What he did to her is disproportionate to the slap on the face he received from her. You can take from the video he thinks along the lines "you can't do this to me, but I can do anything I want to you" it shows a double standard for how he wants to be treated and how he treats others.

You really can't say "that whole Christian worship of weakness " that is a misunderstanding of Christianity. If a person is strong he should not behave in a selfish manner and use his strength or injure or destroy another person with malicious intent - that has nothing to do with strength/weakness but personal responsibility to act like a decent human being. To quote Stan Lee "With great power there must also come ... great responsibility!"
