Southpaws could be hard to defend against.
Most people assume the punches will be coming from the right hand, so they can be surprised when they come from the left.
TMZ Sports has obtained footage of Washington Redskins safety Montae Nicholson pummeling a man in the middle of a Virginia street around 2 AM Tuesday morning … and it’s violent.
Nicholson — wearing a red hoodie — is going after another man in a jean jacket while other people in the melee desperately try to restrain him.
But, Nicholson is too strong and too angry — and refused to back out … instead, he throws several punches at his target … including a knockout blow.
You can see in the video, the man in the jean jacket appears to go limp as Nicholson hits him clean in the face.
It appears the beef started earlier and then carried over into a road rage incident. Nicholson bailed himself out of jail, his girlfriend is still in jail being held without bond because she busted someone over the head with a bottle.
