An evening of boxing in Río Negro ended like Titans in the Ring: a trainer entered the ring and knocked out the referee

Boxing evening at Cinco Saltos, Rio Negro. In a corner Rocio Martioriginally from Catriel, and in the other the Neuquén Rocio Galindo. The opening bell, the sound of “seconds out” and the wait in a fight that unexpectedly turned into another spectacle.

Without firing a shot, the referee Carlos Luengo He approached Neuquina’s corner and after a count declared the technical knockout. What followed was Titans in the Ring. Because one of the promoters and also Galindo’s coach, Bruno Godoy, entered the ring shocked by the decision. After a brief exchange of positions, he hit a right hand that left the referee on the scoreboard.

“He asked me to take a woman to the corner, but I trained the girl (Galindo), who has the national license. There are no trainers in the area. She rang the bell and I was about to leave the ring, but he came to the corner, started telling her and declared the knockout, “summarized Godoy, who expanded his version of events.

From the images it can be seen that despite the request, Godoy never showed any sign of wanting to leave the position he was in even after the doorbell rang.

“He told me: ‘You haven’t left the ring’ but he didn’t give me time! Then he said a couple of things to me, I hit him with my open hand and he fell to the ground. “He was left lying on the floor,” admitted, apologetically, the promoter who claimed to have sent the same written version to Argentine Boxing Federation.

Referee Luengo also offered his perspective in an interview offered to Cable Signal All the news. “The boxers were about to face each other and I told her that she couldn’t be in the ring for a gender reason, there had to be a woman. If her breast protector slips, he can’t touch her,” the referee indicated.

In the interview, Luengo stated that in response to Godoy’s refusal, she told him that it was a purely regulatory matter and that “any woman could come” to take care of it and that the promoter did not comply with the indication.

“I tell him to go away, he was doing badly when I start the first round, he was still on top. The rules say that when there is a person hanging on the outside of the ropes standing next to the ring, on top or on the ladder: “You have to do a protection account and if you are not careful you are disqualified for abandonment. I do those administrative steps, I tell the public prosecutor and he comes in, I feel the blow and I lose “consciousness”, summarized the referee who entered the local hospital at 2 in the morning and was discharged at 9.

The evening, which took place on Friday and was organized by the Río Negro Boxing Federation, was immediately suspended and the organization has already received the medical report together with the referee’s police report and a sanction is expected for Godoy.

“All the technicians and judges are made, they give license to everyone. At every event we organize they drive us crazy. It’s a festival where 200 people go, we lose money, but we have to pay for it,” the attacker continued his criticism.

“This man is a violent person, he has had the same past in other matches,” retorted the referee attacked on the TN screen.
