nah, not a hoax, just a disgrace. he has no discipline, it's official. he's a punk *****. a disciplined self-respected fighter avoids confrontation outside the ring, period. there's no need to prove yourself against these kinds of people. i wish cotto stopped his heart and put him in the ground so he could stop disgracing this sport.
It's called being a man. Someone tres to rob you, you beat then up. And this video was posted a while ago.
Really somebody in his status should not be involved in a street dice game to begin with. You do realize that as a boxer he can permanantly lose his license over something like that right? He needs to grow up and stop trying to live a ghetto lifestyle
The guys a human being he wanted just shoot a little dice how was he suppose to know those scumbags were goin rob him??? If they didn't rob him there would have never been a problem.
Of course he can gamble wherever he wants but if you are going to hang in that type of scene you should fully expect **** like this to go down. I am not saying that he was wrong for fighting the guy. He was wrong for putting him self in that position to start with. As far as the licensing thing, I am not sure if you know this or not but fighting is illegal. Most of the time when these guys get into fights no one presses charges or they are just looking for money but if someone chose to press charges and have him prosecuted, that little scuffle is something that he can actually go to jail for.
There is a name for punching somebody. It's called assault. It is a crime that can carry a sentence as little as a fine or as large as jail time depending on the circumstances. Imagine Zab standing in front of a judge saying that despite all his training and the fact that he is supposed to be a professional athlete he felt justified in using his training to harm a man who attempted to cheat him in an illegal dice game that he should not have been involved in to begin with. The guy will never press charges in this case but if he decided to, I can assure you it would not go well for Zab.
