“Hits Harder Than Her Son”: Fans In Frenzy As Mother Punches Opponent After Son Loses Boxing Match

What happens when trash-talking turns physical? Ask this mother, who did not hold back herself when responding to a fighter who gave her son a loss in a recent boxing matchup. At the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, Rhode Island, a set of boxing fights took place recently.

In them were amateur fights, title belt brawls, and ring girl contests. Rough n Rowdy 23 presented by Barstool Sports got some entertaining clashes in the squared ring to take their course. However, one among them raised some serious eyebrows. It had nothing to do with the action that took course in the ring, but more with the action that went down ringside once the fight had elapsed.

A ferocious mother beats down the winner

In one of the matchups that went down at the latest edition of Rough n Rowdy, the post-fight conversation took an intense turn. In a video uploaded by Barstool Sports, a mother whose son had just lost the bout engaged in a trash-talk episode with the winner.

While trash talks are part and parcel and a pretty normalized concept of the sport, a dramatic turn ensued that night. The mother slapped the winner, leaving him shocked for the moment, and spectators, including the commentator, gasped for air while they processed what had just happened.

While the account did not reveal the name of the winning opponent or the one that lost, it made sure to chime in some sass. In the caption, it said, “WE’VE GOT A FIGHTER’S MOM SWINGING ON HER SON’S OPPONENT!”

The mother, who was not happy with her son’s loss, claimed that she’d have knocked out the winner. While the opponent tried to muster his rebuttal, it was a little too late, and he received a slap. His reaction? Well, watch the video to know. The comments section? Ablaze.

The slap invoked fiery responses from the online boxing community

While what happens in the ring is truly about the prowess the fighters bring, what happens outside the ring could have some creative flair to it. One fan suggested this theory, indicating that the ringside altercation was scripted. “You guys act like it was real, it’s all scripted. The money keeps rolling in.”

Another fan, perhaps who had watched the fight suggested that the mother hits harder than her son who lost the fight. “⁠She hits harder than her son.”

Echoing these feelings was another fan who wrote, “⁠Mom gonna show Junior how it’s done.”

Another fan sided with the winner who took a while to respond to not just the mother’s verbal jabs but also her physical ones. “Fresh out the ring, it would have been hard to not immediately counter that.”

A little exaggeration never hurt anyone. This fan’s comment, while exaggerated, suggested another potential showdown. “She almost dropped him surely she fights him next.”

In the world of boxing, where entertainment is not limited to the ring, this incident tops the chart. What do you think of the mother’s slap? Unwarranted or understandable? Let us know in the comments section below.
