If you’re going to taunt your opponent inside the boxing ring you better be able to back up your trash talk.
On Saturday night during the Canelo Alvarez-Callum Smith undercard, Julian Fernandez got cocky and started taunting Frank Sanchez by putting his hands down and inviting his opponent to punch him in the face.

Sanchez accepted Fernandez’s invitation to punch him in the face and ended up knocking him out of the ring moments later.
