‘No Honor in This Victory’: Fans Irate As UFC Star Jorge Masvidal airs ‘The Most Savage Cheap Shot in Boxing History’

Unlike other sports, a small mistake or a slight diversion of focus costs big in combat sports. There have been many contests where one would see a minor distraction leading to a brutal knockout.

Jorge Masvidal, who is a star UFC warrior, understands it well. Recently, he shared a post on Facebook which showed several brutal finishes. The interesting part is that many labeled it as a cheap form of winning, whereas the opponent took it as an opportunity.

In the beginning, the clip showed two boxers coming closer to touch the glove. Just after touching the gloves, one fighter threw a brutal left hook that knocked out the other one. Per boxing rules, there was nothing wrong in that shot.

However, it did not go well with boxing fans. They criticized this move.

A fan wrote, “F**king scumbag and coward. No honour in this victory may as well have lost.”

A fan wrote, “Would you consider that a cheap shot or no?”

“It’s not the way I would want to win!”, another fan added.

Another sociol media user wrote,

“Its a fight…keep them, hands up, Your opponent isn’t bringing ya flowers.”

Another fan wrote,

“He hit him, the guy hit the floor, and the ambulance hit 90 lol.”

Another fan wrote,

“Yes, it was.”“Cheap”, another fan added.

Another fan wrote,

Why did fans recall Floyd Mayweather?

Fans recalled the former five-weight division champ for his win over Victor Ortiz. The duo squared off in the ring for the welterweight title in 2011 in the MGM Grand of Las Vegas. Though Mayweather won the fight by fourth-round stoppage, he faced heavy criticism.
