Veteran trainer sucker punched unconcious at Claressa Shields weigh-in (vid)
The fight was on Showtime but they/commission pulled it (rightly so).
This girl is always involved in ugly, ugly shit. Allegedly her brother suckered punched him from behind after a little row at the weigh-in, looked like standard stuff, started after Shields sister got in his face or something. So many hangers on these days...
The trainer, James Ali Bashir, is in his 70s, worked with Manny Steward, Wlad and many other Kronk fighters.

Lets hope he has been arrested and charged.

Met James in 1997 in Detroit.

Saw a lot of people saying this was staged to get her out of the fight :p. Man looks pretty convincing with all the bleeding and stiffness though :-X. In fairness you're likely to put a mark on your forehead yelling things like 'you monkey ass girl, you ain't no man. I'll knock that bi#$h out'. Shame for Shields who was coming down in weight for this one.

It’s turned very serious for the mans health.
