It demonstrates that Zimmerman's injuries were superficial at best and that there's no way his life was actually in danger. Martin was a scrawny kid and Zimmerman is a stocky would-be police officer. Martin probably did hit him, but because Martin has girl-arms the best he managed to do was maybe bloody Zimmerman's nose. And for that, Zimmerman killed him.
