Video circulating on social media starts with Hafid Alicea in the prone, and Cooper Corder kneeling at his side. The match comes to an end, Corder provides a friendly tap on Alicea’s back before getting up and proceeding to the center of the mat. Alicea gets up and follows him as the referee guides both of them towards a handshake. However, Alicea surprises everybody by punching Cooper on the face and knocking him down. The police have subsequently cited him for the assault.<\/p>\n

From the Daly Mail:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The incident occurred in Oak Park, Illinois, during a third-place, 125–128-pound match at this year’s edition of the Beat the Street Developmental FS tournament.<\/p>\n

Corder, representing SPAR Academy, defeated Alicea, of Maine West High School by a score of 14-2, according to TMZ Sports. The unexpected blow came after the match ended, when both competitors were set to shake hands, and leaving parents and other young athletes shocked.<\/p>\n

As Cooper, who is in his final year of middle school, wearing an orange singlet, went to shake hands with Alicea, who wore blue he was on the receiving end of a right hand that was thrown with the perfection of a boxer rather than a wrestler that send him straight to the floor.<\/p>\n

One woman – who may have been Corder’s mother – could be heard screaming, ‘What the f**k!’ as she rushed over to check on the crumpled Corder.<\/p>\n

Corder seems to have come out of the incident a lot better than initially feared, only suffering a nose injury.<\/p>\n

But it is understood he will have to wear a face mask during his next matches.<\/p>\n

‘He is making the best of the situation and is already back to training,’ said SPAR Academy founder Justin Pearch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Daily Mail<\/a> and Fox News<\/a> have additional information as well as photos and a video of the incident.<\/p>\n
