Surrounded by a bunch of friends, the duo faced each other and threw right-handed punches that connected at the opposite end, at the exact moment. As a result, both fell on the concrete floor. But thankfully, they managed to get up.

The post has received retweets in excess of 2000. Barring a few worried about the boys injuring themselves fatally, most feasted their eyes with the downright comedy.

Who won the fight??

During the third round, Duvergel, a Middleweight boxer, threw a powerful right hook as Fenderson retreated to the ropes. The punch connected and took the American to the ground. Almost simultaneously, Fenderson delivered a shovel uppercut, which sent the Cuban flying. The Cuban managed to get to his feet and won the fight eventually.
