Man Tries To Steal Ex-Fighter’s Rolex In West Hollywood And Gets Beat Up

The man who tried to steal an ex-fighter's Rolex in West Hollywood learned the hard way that he picked the wrong guy. Instead of the Rolex he got his butt whooped!

If you're going to make the poor decision to try to rob someone it's always good to make sure they aren't a former professional fighter. That might introduce an extra challenge for you. Unfortunately for this guy, it sounds like he picked the wrong one. It happened in West Hollywood, California where a retired professional fighter and his girlfriend were walking down the street in the afternoon when the gunman got out of his vehicle and demanded the watch. The suspect was then tackled by the former fighter. Check out a video report shared by NBCLA on YouTube below.

The fighter tells NBC Los Angeles, "I was able to disarm and take the gun from him. I had him pinned down. He was trying to get up. No way, we're not letting him go." Reports say the gun was in fact loaded. So, he could have been seriously hurt if he wasn't able to control the situation.

The attempted robber was reportedly arrested but the driver got away. You can read more about the story from NBC Los Angeles here. I bet he did not see that coming. He definitely picked the wrong guy.
