In case you haven’t heard of Jimmy Jump, he’s the idiot who jumped onto the field and tried touching the World Cup 
trophy during the presentation following Spain’s 1-0 victory over Netherlands.
Jump was within inches of accomplishing his feat when the trophy’s keeper, dressed in a suit, leveled him with a straight jab Muhammad Ali would have been proud of.
J.J. whose real name is Jaume Marquet Cot, succumbed to the punch, falling to the ground before being dragged away by Soccer City Stadium security and taken to jail.
Jump is lucky he wasn’t in Philadelphia or he may have been greeted by a Philly cop who may have fried his ass with a taser or two. Blow your Vuvuzelas to that.
This nimrod, Jump, is actually the same moron who has been disrupting sporting events for years including the 2009 French Open when he approached Roger Federer.
As mindless as this act was, it was one of the more exciting plays of the day after the championship game went scoreless after regulation and finished with a 1-0 score. Regardless, this guy who seems to be starving for attention, will be getting plenty in the South African jail where he may still be sitting; and for good measure we’re throwing in the Bitch-Slap-of-the-Week.
