Boxer clotheslines opponent on Tyson-Paul Undercard. Fans dismayed.

Vaseline November 16, 2024

India’s Neeraj Goyat dominated Brazil’s Whindersson Nunes in their 165-pound fight on the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson undercard Friday – adding a touch of humiliation.

Goyat cornered social media star Nunes during the third round and gave him a short dry bump from behind, an act that was derided as disrespectful by fans.

“Okay, what’s going on now?” exclaimed commentator Rosie Perez (yes, that Rosie Perez) during the Netflix broadcast.

Y’all, I just clicked on Netflix to watch Jake Paul and Mike Tyson fight just to watch Goyat Nunes hump 😭 oh I’m sitting! 🍿👀 pic.twitter.com/6gssyUbkhX

Goyat received a unanimous decision and widespread ridicule on social media.

“WTH,” one person wrote on the social media platform X.

WTH indeed.

Check out the online photos taken during Goyat’s stunt:

What did I just watch? Goyat hit his opponent live on TV. Is that cool in India? 🤮 #TysonXPaul

Goyat pounded the man in the corner, after that it was no longer a contest

Well, if you call Nunes into the corner, then yes, Goyat won.

Originally it didn’t matter who won this undercard fight between Goyat and Nunes, but Goyat deserves to be dropped for that kind of disrespect. pic.twitter.com/6BuiCzjIqy
