Good sportsmanship is always appreciated in the sport. But, unfortunately, it is not something the fans get to see every time. Sometimes the emotions of the boxers involved in the ring get to them. And they find a different way to get those emotions out. Which sometimes takes the shape of a ‘cheap shot.’ In a recent video surfacing on Instagram, one fighter lands a right hand at his opponent when he least expected, and the clip has sent the fans into a frenzy.

Recently, in a boxing fight between two dwarves, one is seen landing a ‘cheap shot’ on his opponent. And this move has raised questions about the similarity between this incident and some snippets of Mayweather Jr. landing unexpected punches on his opponents.

Barstool U took to Instagram to share a clip from a dwarf boxing match. Both the boxers had a look of dedication on their faces as the bell rang. But one of them put forward their gloves to touch gloves with his opponent and got something else in return.

The Commentator said, “That was a little Floyd Mayweather. This is a borderline cheap shot. That’s what Mayweather did.” Mayweather Jr. is undoubtedly one of the greatest boxers in the world. But, he was accused by his opponents of playing dirty numerous times. This video is drawing a lot of reactions from fans worldwide. And the fans can’t believe this fight.
