I know as a young man I absolutely had a fight in which I punched the other guy numerous times in the head. Never even a thought of hand bruises.
Next, it does not bruise you to lay hands on another and slam their head against the pavement.
It does not bruise one to sit on another while doing this.
Zimmerman apparently had the injuries of being punched in the nose, probably one good initial knockdown.
Subsequent punches probably were deflected, fended off, hence next move of slamming Z’s head back against the pavement.
Grabbing or threatening to grab Z’s gun does not cause bruising.
No one said this was a 20 minute steel cage match.
You punch a guy he falls, you jump on him and scuffle. You bang his head on the pavement. He shifts his body to the grass, pulls his gun and fires.
All this certain discussion of what happened is stupid and ill informed but the funeral director’s comments are not dispositive.
His opinion is about on the same level as one from the local HS janitor would be.

All your points were good ones - up to that point.
The witnesses agreed that there was a fight. If Zimmerman had injuries and Trayvon didn’t it should be pretty easy to know who swung first...
