I boxed for 7 years in a gym, 13 total if you count outside of the gym in sparring in my mid-20's. I've had more "fights" (if you count sparring) in my life than many people combined, in the sport of boxing alone. I'm not even including the real ones that got me arrested or kicked out of school (older and younger examples.) 215 pounds is a CONSIDERABLE difference in weight. People of different skills and sizes can do different things in combat, but at that kind of difference you can literally just hold the guy in place (like many bouncers are trained to do) and wait for police while the scrawny wuss struggles uselessly.

As mentioned above, I've practiced martial arts for 25 years. I run a school these days and I've trained with cops in their CQC program. Trust me when I say I know my stuff, particularly when it comes to street fighting.

As I mentioned above, a weight advantage - particularly one of that magnitude - is a significant advantage. But also note that's not what I said; I said that it's entirely possible for someone to be at a weight disadvantage and still be a significant threat. Maybe they have more training, or are more fit, or are a better fighter. Maybe the bigger guy doesn't know what he's doing or is slow or worn out. Or maybe the smaller guy just happened to be lucky. Either way, assuming a smaller guy could never pose a serious threat to a larger guy is simply ignorant of how fighting works.
