Joe Dubois was ?infuriated? when he saw Phil Boudreault and another guy kicking a man in the head during an unprovoked bar fight last March.
Dubois is a key Crown witness in the aggravated assault trial against the former Olympic boxer.
Boudreault is an acknowledged member of the outlaw Hells Angels motorcycle gang. Security is very tight at the Sudbury Court House. Several fellow members have shown up to support Boudreault at trial, while six members of the Greater Sudbury Police tactical unit quietly stand at the back of the courtroom.
Boudreault, 31, has pleaded not guilty to one count of assault and one count of aggravated assault.
Dubois testified Thursday he frequented the bar regularly and also knew Boudreault as a regular. He had no doubt it was Boudreault who punched and kicked Donald Lavallee, 51, seconds after punching Lavallee?s son, Jeffrey, 26.
The fight took place March 3 at the Golded Pizza in Valley East.
Defence counsel Glenn Sandberg suggested it was another man who looks a lot like Boudreault who was involved in the fight.
Dubois insisted Boudreault was one of the two men responsible for the assaults.
Donald Lavallee testified he, his son and a female friend were celebrating Jeffrey?s birthday when an argument broke out around the pool table.
He remembered a man yelling at his son, ?let the girls play.? Seconds later another man punched his son from behind, knocking him to the ground.
?He was smiling, like he?d won a trophy,? said Lavallee.
He approached the man and said ?are you crazy...how would you like someone to do that to you?? The man clenched his fist. As Lavallee tried to grab him, he was hit with a hard shot to the face.
He crumbled to the floor and heard two voices as he was repeatedly punched and kicked, he said.
He didn?t know how many times he got kicked, but it was a severe beating, he said.
?I lost count...it was more than 10 times...I was punched five or six times,? he said.
He was dragged outside the bar by both men and punched again while laying in the snow, he said.
One of the men yelled to him ?that will show you to mind your own business,? he said.
Lavallee suffered a shattered jaw and bruised ribs and needed three surgeries to repair his jaw.
He picked Boudreault out of a police photo lineup and told police, ?he was 90 percent sure,? Boudreault was the man who punched him in the face.
Boudreault is expected to testify when the trial resumes this morning.
