A man who "king-hit" a bouncer after he was refused entry into a Sydney bar will be sentenced over the attack in two months.

Security guard Fadi "Fred" Taiba suffered a traumatic brain injury and had to have part of his skull removed after James Ian Longworth felled him at Bar 333 on George St in September 2013.

Longworth, who admitted throwing the punch but denied intending to cause Mr Taiba really serious harm, was found guilty of the lesser charge of recklessly inflicting grievous bodily harm on Monday.

Mr Taiba's wife Danielle said 34-year-old Longworth showed no remorse for the attack, and she will never forgive him.

The investment bank employee, who remains on bail, is set to return to court on December 11 for sentencing proceedings.
