One handed boxing

I was very bored late last Friday evening, and could find nothing, but nothing to watch on TV. Switching between channels, I was taken aback by local boxing being broadcast on SABC2.
The programme was called "Baby Champs", and appeared to have been some kind of amateur knockout competition....four round bouts with much wild swinging and little effective punching.

What stunned me was a fight in the lightweight division. The one boxer was boxing with one hand held behind his back! NO SHIT! He boxed the entire third round with his left hand held behind his back. This display of absolute contempt drove his opponent and the audience wild!!

The ref eventually told him to box with both hands or be disqualified.

By the way, he won the fight....hands down!!!
