This video is so funny. This cocky “pro” boxer thinks its hilarious when this old, bald man in a sweater steps into the ring to spar with him. Ha, ha lets have some fun with the old man.  
The pro is knocked on his butt in 30 seconds. 😃

It would be interesting to know who the older guy is. Given his age, I suspect he must be a retired champion from the 1970’s. Maybe a former Olympian from those legendary Soviet Boxing teams?

From what I read (don’t have the link on me), the old man was an Italian Olympic boxer in the 70s.
