Not your pic, in real life. Distinct like that of a bullet hitting a deer or pig way off.

Other than holding her elbow to low, I'd have to say "Good punch".

Any tort lawyers out there?
Battery
A battery is the willful or intentional touching of a person against that person’s will by another person, or by an object or substance put in motion by that other person. Please note that an offensive touching can constitute a battery even if it does not cause injury, and could not reasonably be expected to cause injury. A defendant who emphatically pokes the plaintiff in the chest with his index finger to emphasize a point may be culpable for battery (although the damages award that results may well be nominal). A defendant who spits on a plaintiff, even though there is little chance that the spitting will cause any injury other than to the plaintiff's dignity, has committed a battery.

We don't have battery in the State of Texas...
It is called Assault...Texas Penal Code under Ch 22
Here is s pportion.

the person:
(1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causes
bodily injury to another, including the person's spouse;
(2) intentionally or knowingly threatens another with
imminent bodily injury, including the person's spouse; or
(3) intentionally or knowingly causes physical
contact with another when the person knows or should reasonably
believe that the other will regard the contact as offensive or
provocative.
(b) An offense under Subsection (a)(1) is a Class A
misdemeanor, except that the offense is a felony of the third degree

I thought it looked like a bank or a lobby with four or more elevators.
Either way somebody lost a job and possible charges and the other hopefully learned a lesson*.
* if this was truly about gossip and not about losing a husband\money\dignity \etc
anyways I thought it was hilarious

Tort actually refers to the part of the law that permits remedies for people who have been wronged outside of contractual or criminal wrong doing.
The tort issue here is not related to the fisticuffs but, rather, whatever damage was caused to the victim. The damage could be "direct" such as plastic surgery, maxilofacial surgery or dental/orthodontic work required to return the victim's face back to the way it was before she was struck. It can also be "indirect", such as lost wages while recovering from the injury or treatment from the injury. There are other kinds of damages and other sources of potential tortfeasance in situations like this.
That's why people often say that it's better to kill your assailant than send him to the hospital. Of course, now, even that's a real problem because you can be sued by the surviving family for wrongful death. That's what Joe Horn has to tackle next. That's what destroyed OJ's life after he won in criminal court (the standard for conviction in a criminal case is much higher than the standard to prevail in a civil case).

Joe Horn is protected by the castle doctrine. Since he was not found guilty of any wrong doing he can't be sued in a civil case.
