Boston Rob Shows Off Right Hook

Boston Rob Mariano has many talents - namely, the ability to extend his fame by starring on numerous reality shows. Most recently, he was at Faneuil Hall to judge auditions for the new reality show he's hosting, "Tontine." The "Tontine" auditions were mellow, but the auditions in San Diego turned into a full-on melee.

A reader sent a YouTube clip of Boston Rob showing why he might want to consider auditioning for "The Contender," in which boxers aspire to glory:

Boston Rob and a heckler start jawing and slapping at each other a little. A tall, skinny staffer attempts to wedge himself between the two, and then the heckler must have touched a nerve because Boston Rob plows his fist at him - twice, and sharply. His fighting skill led the person who sent us the video to call him the "Robfather."

So, message to anyone who makes it to the next round of "Tontine"? Don't backtalk the host. Then again, the producers might prefer it if you did. Reality-show fans like nothing more than a good rumble.
