Boxing clip has 1.3M views, but Cajuste ‘here to play football … not go all viral’

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Many heavyweight boxing matches end up with a rematch, but it looks like we’ll have to hold off on a sequel between Yodny Cajuste and Eli Howard.

Cajuste, West Virginia’s senior left tackle, and Howard, a Texas Tech sophomore defensive lineman, squared off against one another in the second quarter Saturday in Lubbock at the end of a Leddie Brown carry.

Howard got in the first shove, which was countered by a quick right love-tap from Cajuste. Howard answered with a full swing, which Cajuste dodged with the athletic footwork of an Ali or Mayweather.
