A fight stemming from a padel match in Costa Rica has gone viral online following the hilarious clip surfacing on social media.
It turns out that padel games are not for the weak and can get pretty intense, as they can lead to arguments and fights, which can lead to one of the worst punches you might ever see being thrown.
As with any sport, disagreements pop up, even among middle-aged guys.
That turned out to be the case this week, with cameras catching a group of men arguing before one launched a kick and then continued to express his aggression, prompting a bit of a brawl that resulted in that punch described above.
The fight is said to have taken place at a court in Escazu.
Anyhoo, check it out for yourself.
The business that runs the courts put out a statement following the incident, which reads, “The swift intervention of club staff prevented more serious consequences,” the establishment said. “In cases of violence, those involved may face disciplinary sanctions ranging from warnings and temporary suspensions to expulsion from the club or tournament.”

The clip caused a stir on X after it was posted by Collin Rugg, as the man seen throwing that shameful fist caught the brunt of the jokes.
“The least fighting skill I’ve seen in a while, and this guy telegraphing his punch for multiple steps while his opponent merely steps aside,” a user noted.
“First kick green shirt ever threw; first punch blue shirt ever threw.😆,” another laughed.
“Guy that fell looks like my lawyer .. he lives in Escazu 😂 will be checking in the morning,” joked a third.
It doesn’t appear that anyone was seriously hurt, although it’s more than can be said for that one guy’s pride.
