Boxer Penalized
for Kissing Opponent

A boxing match at a casino just outside of San Diego got touchy-feely over the weekend when one boxer went in for a punch -- and wound up kissing his opponent.

Jesse Vargas faced off in the ring against Trenton Titsworth in a junior welterweight bout at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, Calif. Cameras captured Vargas kissing Titsworth on the neck during the fight, a move that cost him two points.

The fight was filmed for the HBO series Boxing After Dark.

Despite being docked two points, Vargas won the fight 39-34. (The Advocate)
