Argentine Fernando Martinez successfully defended his IBF super flyweight title, defeating Filipino Jade Bornea in the 11th round.
A very difficult match, which has caused a lot of discussion in the last few hours due to a shock injury that happened in the ring.
Bornea actually started the duel aggressively, but suffered the return of the champion who put him in the corner. As the rounds wore on, Bornea's right ear slowly began to swell from Martinez's hard left jabs.
The climax came in the ninth round, when the ear exploded live, spraying blood on the camera and causing the Filipino to bleed profusely.
A shocking but also very rare injury, which however did not stop Bornean who continued to fight. His determination was not enough: in the eleventh round, the referee stopped the match, declaring his defeat.
