A thug took a ‘boxer stance’ before repeatedly punching his friend over 40 times then ‘coming back for more’ as he lay unconscious on the ground.
Rafael Macarron, 33, had been drinking at a friends’ house, alongside the victim, before they all moved onto the Printers Arms in Cheadle in December last year. Macarron and the man had drank seven cans of beer between them, before drinking more at the pub.
There were no initial issues between them, and all appeared to be having a good time, prosecutor March Pritchard told Minshull Street Crown Court.
