There's no doubt in my mind that he intended to sucker punch, maybe even knock the guy out.
But it's also pretty clear that he had no intention of falling on the guy, much less breaking his neck. It's impossible to know how someone is going to fall after a punch like that.... there's no way that Beruzzi could have been thinking "hey, if I punch him now, he'll fall flat on his face and be seriously hurt"
Sure he needs to be responsible because it was after all, his fault.
But still, a mistake is a mistake.
