In a remarkable twist on the lacrosse field, a viral video shared on social media captured an intense MMA style fist fight during a lacrosse game. Two boys stood at the sides of the court, enraged and in the mood to fight.
Perhaps driven by their highly competitive nature, they exchanged blows in a gripping MMA-like punch fest. It was a mixture of aggression and sportsmanship. Uploaded on X by the page ‘Clips For You’, both the boys walked away from the centre of the court to the side.

A similar fight broke out on a tennis court a few weeks ago. Two young boys were involved in a punching contest with each other as they tried to land hefty blows. Unlike this video, the two boys in this case could not even land a single punch on target. All they touched was air as their rage clouded their judgements in real time.
