Viral Vegas altercation: Are we seeing the dark side of boxing culture?

The MGM in Las Vegas has seen its fair share of fights, but this one didn’t exactly happen in the arena. Instead, two elderly men ended up bruised and bloodied after a physical altercation with an unknown man in their casino. However, BJ Flores, Jake Paul’s former trainer, believes the guy who won the fight might be in serious trouble.

You see, the thing is, a few hours ago, a clip started going viral on various social media platforms, which showed three men embroiled in an altercation. The clip starts off with two elderly men attacking a guy in a white shirt and black shorts. However, the tides of the fight quickly turned for the worst. 

The lone fighter swiftly takes down one of the two men, then turns and knocks the other out cold. Blood begins to pool on the black-and-white marble floor from one of the men. As they both lie flat on the ground, the man in shorts goes in for some ground-and-pound, while two women, presumably with the downed men, start attacking him.

However, their efforts remain in vain, as the man in shorts easily tosses them aside. The skirmish quickly ends when security personnel arrive to intervene and prevent any further damage. The video then shows the two men on the ground dazed and severely bleeding as the security personnel try to get the situation under control, separating both parties. 

Jake Paul’s Ex-Trainer believes the courts will decide the winner

The identities of the people involved in the altercation are currently unknown, alongside the severity of the damage taken by the two elderly men. It’s also unclear what exactly started the fight, and whether any charges are being pressed on either party. However, BJ Flores feels the man in the white shirt and black shorts will have to pay dearly.

Have an interesting take?

Reacting to the clip hours earlier on X, where the clip of the incident seems to be especially circulating fast, Jake Paul’s former trainer wrote, “About to get SUED  for any little money he has.” While this altercation was between non-professional fighters, the funny thing is that even professional fighters can’t help themselves from getting into physical altercations. 

It appears after this big fight at the MGM casino, a huge lawsuit is in order. At least, that’s what Jake Paul’s former trainer feels. However, the entire story about the altercation is yet to come to light. What did you think about the fight?
