Victim: Chotu (white, no hat). Props: none.

| time | Faris: hands | Chotu: hands | feet / environment | issue | fixed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.0–0.06 | guard | guard; the lead hand winds up wide | both planted | — | — |
| 0.2 | low under it (knees bent, torso upright), weaving back out of its arc; hands up | the lead HOOK, short of him | half a body clear | the rear-hand hook was hidden; his arm wrapped over Faris's back | the lead hand (drawn in front), the hook stops short; Faris weaves 9 units back |
| 0.3 | THE SPIN: his back to him, the lead arm loaded across his body | carried round by the hook, guard down | a step on the turn | — | — |
| 0.42 | coming round, the arm trailing | — | half a body clear | Faris's head passed behind Chotu's | Faris stays at X(-21) until the blow's step |
| 0.5 | the LEAD BACKFIST at full extension on the side of the head (IK); the rear hand at his chin | — | the step into the blow; 0.2× slow-mo plus a 0.22 s crash | — | — |
| 0.5–0.56 | through it | — | THE NECK GIVES: the head is driven along the blow, the neck bending and stretching past what a neck can | — | — |
| 0.56 (H+) | the turn finished into his guard | — | CLEAN OFF: the head flies with its spin (no face, a round wet cap), lands about 80 units away, bounces, rolls and stops in frame; the neck pumps; the body takes one step and drops face down (0.5 later the ragdoll keeps the cut); XT the lead arm off too | the head first flew out of frame | slower (190, -230); the camera widens to X(40) / 380 |
| 0.6–2.6 | guard; watches the head roll | — | the soul rises (0.6 after) | — | — |
