In a recent post on X, she shared an inspiring clip of an elderly man dominating a young gun in a street boxing match. The jaw-dropping video has fans questioning how much age matters when it comes to getting down to fight.
The 2-minute 20-second clip featured an old man with grey hair battling a boxer much younger than him in age. The fight started off with both trying to assess each other. Within a few seconds, the older man took over, landing many more punches than the younger one could. By the end of the 1st minute, he had cornered his opponent, who had to be saved by the referee. Melissa posted the clip on her X (Twitter) account, captioning the clip, “Grandpa did not come to play.”

Soon, fans joined her in lauding the stereotype-breaker. “He ain’t new to this,” remarked one fan, noting the skill and experience of the fighter.
“Grandpa looks like a former professional boxer IMV,” said another fan who assumed the man had to have boxed in his younger days to have the stance and poise of a pro boxer.
“Never underestimate the old seem alot more,” iterated one fan who warned others against taking the elderly lightly.
“Old ass white dude gottem. Goes to show, a fights a fight and anyone can win at anytime,” remarked a user thrashing stereotypes and conveying the unpredictability of a fight.
“Props to the old-timer!” Another fan cheered the winner on.
Though fighters often cease showing up in the ring once they hit a certain age, instances like this prove that nothing compares to experience, zeal, and the grit to win. This is what Melissa was trying to communicate to fans by sharing the clip from a street boxing match.
