Cutting off the ring, nasty right & left hooks - something tells me that old guy has seen the inside of a ring before.
Gramps schooled that kid — it was great to see the smirk literally knocked off the whelp’s face.
The old boy can handle himself and the young one found out the hard way. LOL!
I remember reading about Jack Dempsey when he was in his late 70s being the “victim” of a mugger. He knocked the perp out cold.
I have to wonder if the young guy was trying not to hurt the poor old man, and by the time the kid figured out that he was worrying about the wrong person, it was too late for him to really recover and defend himself.
Proves learning how to fight is many times more important than sheer size. I remember a few other stories about old fighters punching the lights out of much younger thugs. I also remember seeing a video some years ago of 70 year old ex-light heavyweight champ Archie Moore sparring. His hands were still lightning quick, and I would not have wanted to be in front of those fists.
LOVE IT!!!!
I grew up playing some tennis as I had two parents who were medal winners in college. I used to think I could play. Then....my mom married my step-dad.
I asked him if he played. Thought I could beat him as he was in his early 60’s. He smeared my @ss up one side of that court and the other. Could slice the ball over the net to where it didn’t reach above an inch with a supurb top spin.
Went back home and mom asked how it went. I told her. She died laughing. “You didn’t know that he was the tennis pro for years at his local club?”
Hahahaha! He got me!
Love the man like my own father. WW2 Vet as well in the Pacific. Tough as nails.
Old cogger can duck and deliver.
I hope he punched the videographer just as many times, and just as hard. Is it impossible to film when the camera is turned on its side?
I remember an old Cops show where they went to a nightclub sidewalk and found a knocked out young guy with a knife, plus a small elderly man in good condition. He was walking down the street and the other guy jumped him and got knocked out. Old guy told the cops he had been a boxing champ years ago.
The old guy beat him with much better footwork.
The problem was the young man did not want to knock out pops because of respect for his age and pops took advantage of the young man’s honorable and respectful stance. Kind of sickening, really.
