Wrestler Knocks Out Opponent With Cheap Shot After Getting Destroyed In Match

Holy cow! This is insane!

Things turned ugly very quickly after an Illinois youth wrestling match that saw a wrestler completely suckerpunch and knock out his opponent after getting destroyed in a match. The punch was so vicious that police have even responded with an investigation.

Located in Oak Park, Illinois, Oak Park River Forest High School hosted the “Beat The Streets” tournament April 8, and at one point during the event, Maine West High School’s Hafid Alicea was beaten by SPAR Wrestling Academy’s Cooper Corder. And not only did Alicea take a loss, he was absolutely hammered — evident of the 14-2 final match score.

After the contest, the referee brought both of the wrestlers to the center of the mat to shake hands and announce Corder as the winner, which is custom in wrestling.

However, things went horribly wrong, as Alicea acted like he was going to shake Corder’s hand, but instead punched him hard right in the face and sent him down to the floor.

Parents were absolutely livid at Alicea, screaming in his direction before ultimately running over to assist Corder. The referee, making sure nothing escalated between parents and students, sent Alicea matside away from the scene.

Corder reportedly suffered a broken nose, according to TMZ Sports, and unfortunately will be forced to wear a special face mask when he wrestles in upcoming matches.

Talking with TMZ Sports, an Oak Park Police Dept. spokesperson said Tuesday that the parents of both minors are cooperating with their investigation.

Absolutely wild.

There's one thing you never do: you never say "put 'em up." You smile at the guy, then sucker-punch him.

Jim Rockford (James Garner) in The Rockford Files "Nice Guys Finish Dead" aired Nov 16, 1979.

I’m sure Alicea’s parents will claim some garbage excuse like Asperger’s Syndrome or some such bullshit to explain the behavior of their self-centered little brat.

Poor sportsmanship, showing the low character of a sneaky, untrustworthy person. Maybe he’ll outgrow the need to act that way, but only after the same thing happens to him.

I thought this was going to be about “fake” wrestling (like WWF) , kind of disappointing

Probably one of the Somali Muslims recently imported into Maine.

Nice to see that these vibrant "new Americans" are so grateful to the Christians who welcomed them into our homeland.

And we are so blessed to have these vibrant new cultures on our shores.

Don’t you hate the ridiculous hyperbole of “destroyed” already?

“Probably one of the Somali Muslims recently imported into Maine.”

Maine East is a high school in the Chicago suburbs, not in Maine though.

Just explain your unhappiness as a male and want to transition as a female. All excused and a government job along with a lifetime supply of Bud Light.

The problem with that quote is that I bet Jim Rockford wouldn’t be expecting a sucker punch after you just shook the guy’s hand in a spirit of sportsmanship.
