"whats wrong with assault? isnt that what getting in the ring is all about? don't you wish you could assault people sometimes but dont have the balls to do it? have you ever wanted to kill somebody? you need to be more understanding :verysad" You wrote this. Case closed.
Have you ever had your hands wrapped the way professionals do?? You don't need to be a big puncher to make anyone bleed all over the place. No gloves, no mouthpiece...... even Calderon could make you bleed
I actually saw this fight live on TV when it happened. Yes, it was quite disturbing to see Grant puking up blood; it looked like he was going to die.
Not when the attempt is so poorly written that any chance to produce the intended effect (i.e. irony/humor) is lost. :deal
I remember this fight. In the last round, after he new he had a decision locked-up, Richard was doing a lot taunting and generally acting like a jackass. What Butler did is still an assault, and I believe he rightfully went to jail for it. But as for sportsmanship, neither fighter had any.
