A young bully decided to try to bully a rather plain-looking 54 year old. But this wasn’t an ordinary 54 year old. Unbeknownst, perhaps, to the young bully, it was former WBA Featherweight Champion Rocky Lockridge (44-9, 36 KO). Having last fought in 1992, Rocky turned pro in 1978 and faced notable pugilists such as Wilfredo Gomez, Tony ‘The Tiger’ Lopez, Roger Mayweather, Sharmba Mitchell, Rafael Ruelas and, of course, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. Sadly, in the years following his retirement in the early 1990s, Lockridge was saddled with drug problems. He eventually went unemployed and homeless, and suffered a stroke that forced him to walk with a cane. It’s believed Lockridge has been drug free and sober for the past several years, and what transpires in the video might be sobering for youths who think they can bully old boxing champs. Those around him warned the antagonist not to approach the former champ who was seemingly minding his own business. Perhaps concerned for the bully’s safety, an onlooker yelled, “Don’t go down there, don’t go down there.” But he proceeded anyway He got in the old boxing champ’s personal space…. and paid a price for his decision.
