“What boxing gym allows this nonsense”? Real-Life David vs. Goliath Fight Sparks Controversy

Recently, a tweet by FightHaven sparked controversy in the boxing community. In the video, which was captioned, “Don’t be a gym bully,” a bigger boxer was seen dominating a smaller boxer in the ring. The smaller boxer threw some weak punches at his opponent but was soon punched ruthlessly. The bigger boxer even let him hit his face with some punches. Then he retaliated with some heavy-hitting punches of his own.

This led to the smaller boxer grabbing the ropes while covering his face. This action caused the bigger boxer to hit the back of his head, which is considered to be very dangerous.

Boxing Match Leaves Spectators Questioning Sportsmanship

This had a lot of people worried about the smaller boxer. People felt bad for the boxer and were quick to point out that the last hit was illegal. People started questioning what sort of boxing gym would even allow this type of thing to happen.

Someone even mocked the bigger boxer on feeling ‘hard’ After beating up a guy who is half his weight and a foot shorter than him.

One person joked that the blue guy (bigger boxer) wanted is be a bully in the beginning. However, after taking a punch in the temple, he immediately started counter-attacking.

However, there were also some people who came in support of the bigger boxer. Someone wrote that the bigger guy could have done much more damage than that. He showed restraint, so it is not bullying.

One person pointed out that based on the body language, it could be that the shorter guy was just overconfident. The bigger guy could just be teaching him a lesson.

The Great Divide: Lightweight Fighters vs Heavyweight Fighters

One disadvantage that lightweight fighters have against heavyweight fighters is a size disadvantage. Heavyweight fighters are typically larger and stronger than lightweight fighters. This can make it difficult for lightweight fighters to overpower the big men in the ring. This can also make it harder for the lightweight fighter to defend against the heavy punches and powerful strikes that heavyweight fighters are known for.

On the contrary, lightweight fighters often have a stamina advantage against heavyweight fighters. This is because, heavyweight fighters have more muscle mass, which tires them out with less action. With a stamina advantage, lightweight fighters can have a higher intensity and agility than heavyweight fighters. Meanwhile, a weight difference of 100 lbs between the fighters caused fans to question the fairness of the fight.

Additionally, heavyweight fighters tend to have a greater resistance to fatigue. This can enable them to sustain their power and speed throughout the fight. What is your take on gym bullies? Let us know in the comments.
