The professional boxer Antonio Barrul starred in a brutal fight in a cinema in León seeing a man grab his wife by the neck and hit a girl. In Más Vale Tarde, Barrul tells how he experienced the events, making it clear at all times that he is not proud of having acted as he did nor does he justify violence.
The young man claims that the abuser’s attitude led him to have “an impulse” which made him act as recorded in the video of another person who was in the movie theater, hitting this man forcefully. “It led me to the obligation to confront him“, confesses Barrul.
“He has not reported me. He must not be from León, I know everyone here and we all respect each other. He came to abuse his wife at the movies in front of children, to hit a girl… I know that violence is not the way; I am an athlete, I am a boxer and I like to be a role model for children. I’m not proud of what I’ve done, but I would act like this again if I saw a man mistreating a woman“says the boxer.
