What did I just watch?… A real messy fight… a circus.
Only in Mexico!
Plenty of action but brutal fight as usually are those between two Mexican boxers. They don’t stop, they never quit, they never go back until is may be too late. Spectacle is always first and boxer protection second if any. In this case Salgado’s corner should have stopped the fight as soon as they noticed it was really difficult for him to see from his right eye. Shame to them and hopefully the guy is fine.
