Boxing referee Jose Hiram Rivera has earned plaudits across social media after somehow staying upright following a big left hook from a professional fighter.
The WBO global cruiserweight title fight between Mario Aguilar and Brandon Glanton didn't last long, but it was full of action, with the third man in the ring even taking a big shot amid the chaos. Mexican veteran Aguilar, who has fought professionally 30 times, was knocked out within two rounds after starting aggressive against Brandon Glanton in Plant City.
But the big highlight of the fight wasn't former American football player Glanton's quick stoppage of Aguilar to go 17-0 and earn the global title. Instead, the clip that had people talking on social media was referee Rivera taking a stiff left hand from the Mexican, and staying upright to continue officiating the fight.
