It is actually crystal clear coming from the movie that I did make that decision. I never indicated to injure Izak, not to mentioned concuss him. "I don't think I helped make any kind of contact whatsoever with Izak's head, back or leading of his shoulders, but I approve that my bump caused his scalp to strike the ground, and also because of that, this is classified as high connect with.
