Red Card! Jose Jimenez Should Be Ashamed

Found an absolutely ugly video from Argentina making its rounds online. A stray dog wandered onto a soccer field where Argentinian teams between Bella Vista and San Juan were playing a match. Bella Vista Forward Jose Jimenez grabs the dog by the neck and tries to toss it over the fence into the crowd. It’s one of the ugliest things a person has ever done in a sporting event.The referee did issue a red card to kick him out the match but I wish no one had held back the San Juan players from beating Jimenez down! No class!!! Check out the video below. Read more »

Lesson #1: Protect Yourself At All Times

We’ve seen it so many times from an aggressive fighter frustrated by an opponent’s defense, he’ll take a step back and motion “fight me”. The taunt is a sign of desperation which is shrugged off by the opponent; the fight usually continues at the same pace. That was not the case for Miguel Zuniga when he taunted Daquan Arnett in the bout this past Saturday at the BB&T Center. Zuniga was landing some decent punches on the defensive Arnett, who was looking to land counter hooks. Zuniga, who looked to be in control, took a step back and taunted Arnett to come fight him. Arnett stepped forward and landed a perfect left hook counter over Zuniga’s one-two combo and lights out. See it for yourself Read more »
