VIDEO: Watch the moment an ex-world champ called Rocky KOs abusive man
http://www.dailymail.co.uk ^ | march 8, 2013 | Mike Dawes

Of all the people this unfortunate man could have picked a fight with, he just had to chose a former world champion.

Minding his own business, Rocky Lockridge, who in his prime beat Roger Mayweather, uncle of Floyd, to win the WBA super-featherweight title, is approached by a man shouting abuse.

He faces up to the former boxer while onlookers attempt to persuade Lockridge not to take action. But he ignores them and delivers a left-right combination which leaves his aggressor out cold.

You gotta watch those 'little guys'. I saw one in a bar fight take down two guys who, combined, outweighed him 4 to 1, and the slowest thing was their drop to the floor.

He didn't start it, but he sure finished it--and fast.

Rocky’s got a problem.

His hands are/were licensed.

He might be charged with assault with a weapon.

All professional pugilists know this.

So what’s the background here? Why was this individual abusing the ex-boxer? Also, after the ex-boxer knocked him to the ground, his “friends” gathered around him and were giggling like schoolgirls as he lied on the pavement. What’s that all about?

That blows me away, ONE PUNCH, and Rocky was ready to go after him if he dared to get up again. Love it!

Evidence shows Rocky was minding his own business when accosted by a drunk who was part of a gang. Drunk made it a part of his busy day to walk into Champ’s personal space with what appeared to be a weapon (large can). Champ took reasonable means to defend himself.

Put me on the jury.

Dunno, but if I saw some drunk foul-mouthed shiite-talking fool trying to start a fight with someone who I knew was a professional fighter, I’d think ‘this is gonna be GOOD’. I might get my phone out too.

The state license board if they get wind of it.

Got a relative who does that in another state.

At the very least, they’ll ask questions.

I’m not the one saying its right, I’m just saying a pro fighter lives by a different set of rules. And busy body bureauKaRATZ just love their thimble full of power.

Anyway, Rocky's career record up to now was 44-9 with 36 KOs.

Make that 45-9 with 37 KOs!

That seems to be an urban legend with regard to professional boxers having to register their hands as lethal weapons.

Check out Snopes...they have a discussion on it there and determined that it cannot be proven (kind of hard to prove a negative). At any rate, nobody could find any laws specifically stating that hands should be registered as lethal weapon. Most likely, it has to do with braggadocio - who wouldn't want to go around telling people they had to register their hands as lethal weapons!

Dang straight.

You can tell a “master”, they make it look as easy as rolling out of bed. Definitely a Professor of The Sweet Science.
