Gregory McCalium got more than he bargained for when he broke into retired boxer Frank Corti's home last August.
He should have picked on someone his own age.
Gregory McCalium, 24, was left with severe facial wounds after the knife-wielding thug attempted to rob his elderly neighbor in tBotley near Oxford, England, Britain's SkyNews reported. The would-be burglar broke into the home of Frank Corti last Aug. 19 - without realizing the 72-year-old was a retired boxer.
A mug shot released by the Thames Valley Police reveals the results after Corti disarmed his attacker, let loose with two punches to the face and restrained McCalium until the police arrived on the scene.
On Tuesday, McCalium was sentenced to a 4 1/2-year sentence for the crime.
"'I was scared when he first threw the knife, but most people would have acted in the same way," Corti told London's Daily Mail. "If you can't defend what's yours, where are we at?"
Corti, a veteran of the British armed forces, was at home with his wife during the mid-morning attack, according to testimony in the case. McCalium, a bartender, may have held a grudge over a noise complaint lodged by the Cortis earlier that morning, the Daily Mail reported.
"The jury might well have concluded you got what you deserved," prosecutor Angela Morris said to McCalium during sentencing, according to the Daily Mail.

Good shit
lol yeah i was going to mention the Jack Dempsey story
From what i remember it was 2 guys in their 20's and Dempsey was late 70's or maybe even 80. Dempsey dropped at least one of them with a body shot and they were too scared to get back up and risk getting hit by him again so they stayed laying down till the cops came.
wish that was on tape, i cant imagine a 72 year old man moving fast enough or having the hard bones to do that much damage with his fists
72 is old but your bones are still hard...lol
