Nicaragua eased into some sporting events this past weekend with a boxing match with social distancing crowds, masks and temperature checks...

... boxers, doctors, referees, judges, media members, ring girls and fans all wore face coverings for the event, though fighters were allowed to remove their masks to throw punches.

Spectators were subject to a temperature check outside the venue before getting in, and were reportedly told to disinfect their hands and shoes upon entry before being forced to sit a safe distance apart.

It looks like everyone acted as responsibly as possible and adhered to social distancing guidelines ... except the fighters, of course. Even at Friday's weigh-in they came face-to-face, but they did have masks on.

Alvarez said ... "Here we don't fear the coronavirus, and there is no quarantine," and added, "Nicaragua is a poor country and the boxers have to eat. They can't stay shut up in their house."
