The
weather was
already thick before the fight between
Emanuel Lucero
and
Giuliano Canónigo
.
The Argentine Boxing Federation
, the scene of the fight, was involved in
a “football climate
. ”
At least that's how they had described it since the television broadcast.
And, in light of the scandal that ended up being generated, they were not wrong.
“A football climate like rarely here,” warned the reporter before the match, before the
chants that could be heard from ring side
.
And he added: “To the
Excursionistas and River bar
that (Sebastián) Bonifacio brought (who was part of the evening, but did not get to face Mateo Soto due to the incidents),
the 'Globito' of Parque is added
Patricios
(in reference to Huracán), who approached this boy, the Uruguayan living in Buenos Aires, Giuliano Canónigo.”
The combat had taken place normally.
Canónigo had made use of his greatest (although not much) experience against a rival who was making his debut on the rented field.
There was 1.23 left for the fourth round bell to ring
and the lightweight fight to end when they noticed from the broadcast that something was not right under the ring.
No less than eight seconds passed from that moment until the referee decided to stop the fight.
The Puntano Lucero obeyed the order to go to a corner.
The same was done by
Canónigo , a Uruguayan living in Lanús who
had the inscription “I burn until death”
on the waistband of his pants
.
Their fight had taken a backseat.
The sadly important thing happened under the ring.
There began
a pitched battle between fans
.
They started with shoving and continued with fist blows. Finally,
they came face to face and threw chairs through the air.
Regrettable way to end the fight at the FAB❌

After a few seconds, and seeing that the violence was escalating and that the brawl was becoming more and more generalized, the referee ordered the boxers to get out of the ring.
"What a pity.
The worst of sports passion.
“ These madmen don't care about anything
,” lamented the TyC Sports reporter.
The fight, naturally, was left without a decision and the promotional evening was suspended.
