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?”
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.
