Violent Scenes in Zagreb!
Gruesome Night: Hrgovic Halted By Doctors Advice!
Dubois and Lerena Both Floored in the First!
A brutal night of boxing in Zagreb, Croatia, on Saturday, as Filip Hrgovic's return to the ring ended in disappointment after a sickening clash of heads with Emir Ahmatovic.
The two heavyweights were meeting in a final eliminator for the IBF world title, but the fight was stopped in the third round after Hrgovic sustained two cuts above his eyes. The Croatian was visibly distressed as the blood poured down his face, and the ringside doctor had no choice but to wave the contest off in his favor.
It was a similar story in the chief support bout, as Daniel Dubois was floored three times in the first round by Kevin Lerena. Dubois eventually rallied to stop the South African in the third round, but he was clearly hurt by Lerena's power and will need to improve his defense if he is to challenge for world titles in the future.
These were just two of the many brutal stoppages on a night of high drama in Zagreb. It was a reminder of the dangers of boxing, but it also showcased the courage and determination of the fighters involved.
