Dubois’ opponent raises ‘bias’ protest when bell rings early in title match



Kevin Lerena had problems with administration during his loss to Daniel Dubois, citing a short inning and quick stoppage that prevented him from having a chance to fight for the WBA regular title.

The most thrilling fight of the night between the cards Tyson Fury and Derek Chisora ​​was also shrouded in confusion and controversy.

Dubois – the champion and heavyweight favorite – was knocked out by his South African rival and former heavyweight cruiser, Lerena, right over the head with the first vital shot. The host boxer beat the ball but won the countdown.

He would fall to his knees twice in the round under pressure from Lerena, for a total of three kills. He beat the count each time, although the move was noticeably different – the latter was attributed to a twisted knee from the impact of the strong punch.

The round ends when Dubois counts the third bell, as Lerena points out, early.

“I hit him straight in the head, which obviously sent a shockwave down his body, resulting in a twisted ankle or knee, whatever it was – but let’s not forget that the punch causes He fell down was what injured him.

Then it became apparent that he stood up without knowing what had happened. I tried to put pressure on him again, he knelt down. The referee counted him again. He got up again, I tried to pressure him again to finish him off. He dropped to his knees, and then the moment the half was clearly over at 2 minutes 49 seconds, which allowed Daniel to get back into his corner and recover.”

“In his corner he said to his coach ‘what happened?’ So obviously he didn’t see the shot that took him down and wasn’t a remarkable piece of work.”

“I really felt we had a tough time at the end of the half because a lot can happen in 11 seconds. If I managed to attack him again, knocking him down with blows as if I had knocked him down, then the match might be over.

Although there were cases where the broadcast clocks didn’t sync with the stopwatches, the round was counted and actually ended in 2 minutes and 50 seconds – 10 seconds short of the norm.
