It changes in water. A big male kangaroo in water over a dog's head will drown it.
Their kicks and "punches" (more like face palms) really aren't anywhere near as dangerous as people think, they might kick the legs out from under a human maybe and make him fall over hilariously, but they can't do much to a dog. Or even realistically beat a serious man in a real fight.
They CAN get a dog in a headlock, like the famous video, but what people don't understand about that video is the boarhound was trained to strictly never ever attack kangaroos (like all serious working pig dogs- but not my pet pig dog) so that's the only reason the kangaroo even got a chance to grab it, and then the dog was like a kid with his hand caught in the cookie jar. The dog was actually scared of the human busting him tangled up with a kangaroo. He was "naughty" and curiousity got the best of him and he went to investigate a kangaroo but not attack. Then the roo took the opportunity to grab him. He probably got punched by the man worse than the kangaroo did after the video. Even in that headlock the kangaroo was never gonna hurt that dog (despite the narrator being a bit dramatic).
In water, that headlock can be deadly. They will hold the dog in that headlock with it's head underwater and that's the end of that. It's really their only go-to move for dog defense. Make a break for the water, and then utilise the headlock to drown the dog. No water and they just do the headlock on dry land to at least prevent the dog from biting them. Like I said, the dog in that video wasn't going to bite anyway, it's strictly forbidden from doing so and is scared to annoy it's owner. If that wasn't the case, if the dog was free to view roos as prey, it would have killed the roo for sure. It's actually way OP for a roo.
If you've been living under a rock this is the video I'm referring to.
That dog is actually this exact dog-
If the dog treated the roo like that ^ the roo would have been toppled over and never would have got up again. It would have been killed within a minute or two.
