T probably had Z down on his back and was just windmilling him, thats what the hood rats do. Check out youtube, there are many hood rat beat downs on there. T got in a few decent shots on Z's face, Z blocked most of them. 45 minutes after the "fight" he didn't look too bad, thats not surprising either. I have taken pretty good punches to the face on occasion and only a red mark that was gone in minutes. Z has some color on him so it may not show.
If T has Zs head and was bashing in on the ground he wouldn't have anything under his nails unless he scratched Z, I saw no scratches.
Your speculation is inconsistent with George's direct statements to police.
George didn't say he fended off around 25 blows, he said he had actually been punched (contact had been made) up to 25 times. I believe he said between 25 and 30 in a later account. This inconsistency between George's version of events and his injuries was something that caused suspicion from the start and was noted in detective Serino's early reports.
Zimmerman had told officers both at the scene the night of the shooting and afterwards that Martin knocked him down with a punch to his face and then banged his head against the pavement with such force he felt his "head was exploding." He had also stated Martin had punched him up to 25 times, something Serino said was inconsistent with Zimmerman's injuries.
