Sucker punching your opponent after he beats you is one thing, but doing it under the pretense of a handshake is particularly distasteful.

The young wrestler was obviously frustrated being beaten, but to punch somebody like that is just way beyond the pale.

Local police were involved and are evidently looking into the attack.

It's disappointing to see a kid lose control and surely ruin his reputation at such a pivotal point in his athletic development.
