Searched, if already posted, is it too late now to say sorry?

Justin Bieber got into an all-out street brawl with a guy much bigger than him Wednesday night in Cleveland.
TMZ obtained this video of Bieber, shot shortly after 11 PM, outside his hotel in downtown Cleveland -- he was face-to-face with the guy, who threw a light blow at Justin's head. That's when Justin uncorked a blow right to his face ... and then it's on!

Several people were standing nearby and tried to jump in, but the fight ends up spilling to the ground.
It's unclear what started the scrap. Bieber was in town for the game 3 of the NBA Finals, and was wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers shirt ... so it could be post-game trash talk. Also, witnesses say Bieber was getting peppered with requests for photos, and we know how he feels about that.

Overall ... we'd say Justin held his own, though he ended up on the bottom of the pile.


Response from the guy:

Justin Bieber's street fight erupted over chicks and autographs ... at least according to a guy who's claiming he's the one who went toe-to-toe with Bieber.

Lamont Richmond, a 6'5" Cleveland local, is taking credit for taking down Justin -- and explaining his take of what led up to the brawl. Just like Bieber, Lamont looks no worse for wear in the video he posted.

Check out the clip ... he makes it sound like it all could've been settled if Justin signed something.

"Justin Bieber got into a fight in downtown Cleveland."

I thought it was going to finish with, "resuscitation was unsuccessful."

 

[Ginger Hail]

Down right fierce.

 

[norm9]

(baby baby) Oh (baby baby) no!

 

[F0rneus]

What a shitty goddamn asswipe of a human being. Bieber I mean.

 

[Always-honest]

Wow, he punched that guy? He has a punch..
Not sure what happened so unable to judge.

 

[dsp]

I thought the title said Justin Beiber got into Street Fighter.

 

[Brakke]

"oh shit, I'm getting on TMZ"

lol

 

[Rellik]

I guess training with David Haye didn't pay off in the end.

 

[Tansut]

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy.

 

[Galang]

"oh shit, I'm getting on TMZ"

lol

They pay a fortune for this kinda footage lol. I'd be hyped too

 

[frontovik]

He deserves it, Bieber is an embarrassment for Canadians.

 

[Esque7]

Well someone from Cleveland needs to win. (I'm from Cleveland)

 

[Giolon]

LOL. I needed a laugh like that.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

No one deserves to be punched in the head. Y'all fuckin crazy

 

[Mr. Giggles]

I was expecting something more violent.

This does nothing to quel my blood lust

 

[chefbags]

Could have been settled if Justin signed something...

So I assume Bieber got hit in the head because he didn't sign a thing? That is fucking stupid.

 

[Rest]

Came in for Street Fighter shops

Leaving disappointed

So he deserves to be punched in the head because he doesn't want to sign something?

 

[Astral Dog]

I hope he is ok

 

[orientalNoodle]

How many slaps were thrown?

 

[Acorn]

He held his own but was down in 5 seconds?

 

[Renekton]

He can easily beat me in a 1v1, how about you guys?

He held his own but was down in 5 seconds?

Ya real life random scuffles are over VERY quickly.

 

[Astral Dog]

Just days after he took this cute photo with a fan.

 

[zelas]

"Held his own"

Lol

 

[Mat-triX]

*Plays Guile's Theme*

 

[Acorn]

Yes when someone isn't "holding their own".

 

[AJLma]

Looks like there was a light exchange of facial tapping and then this guy gently sat Bieber down.

 

[Sora the Cat]

So he deserves to be punched in the head because he doesn't want to sign something?

Apparently yes. People like to hate on this guy for everything.

 

[Masterspeed]

I literally came into this thread thinking he started playing Street Fighter. I was hoping for videos of him spamming hydoken and getting his ass destroyed....shame really.

Also, how is this guy just allowed to do what ever the fuck he wants?

 

[rexor0717]

I thought the title said Justin Beiber got into Street Fighter.

Me too, thought we'd see him at Evo lol.

 

[Kurt Angle]

kill em JB

 

[MrPressStart]

Apparently yes. People like to hate on this guy for everything.

How about people hating on Clevland and its shitty fans?

 

[The Beard]

They pay a fortune for this kinda footage lol. I'd be hyped too

I'd give him a dollar for that shitty portrait mode video.

Seriously, why don't people know how to properly record a goddamn video? It's not hard.

 

[old manatee]

At this point I'm basically always on the side of the celebrity when they get in a street fight with a paparazzi or some asshole fan. My favorite was when Bjork went mama bear on that reporter for talking to her kid. When Bjork tells you to leave her kid alone just leave her freaking kid alone.

 

[RootCause]

Counted one punch being thrown. Came in expecting an actual fight.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Id let Bieber punch me and then pay me when I sue his ass.

Just looked that up. She went from zero to crazy.
Reporter got mic hits in there. Lol

[Silver Arrows]

So what's the point of this again?

 

[Jacob]

Just days after he took this cute photo with a fan.

Bieber going for the Slim Shady look?

 

[Slayven]

He should have fired his whole squad. That is why you have goons

 

[SmellyHoundRedux]

Not defending the beebz here, but that other guy seems like a piece of shit, especially if he threw the first punch.

 

[AxelFoley]

LOL TMZ says Beiber held his own, but dude took his ass down in 2 seconds.

 

[Somnid]

Does he not have a bodyguard?

 

[Eiji]

Bieber trying to be the next Kimbo Slice.

 

[JadedWriter]

No way in fuck Bieber is Ryu. That motherfucker is Dan.

 

[akira28]

sounds more like the street got into a beiber fight.

 

[RecRoulette]

 

[Beerman462]

"Held his own"

Lol

Yeah lol. If it wasn't for the crowd it would have straight ground and pound.
