Confusion and Controversy at WBA Bantamweight World Title Fight

A dramatic turn of events unfolded at the WBA bantamweight world title fight between Cherneka Johnson and Nina Hughes, leaving both fighters and spectators in disbelief.

After a grueling ten rounds of intense action, the match was left in the hands of the judges to determine a winner, as Johnson and Hughes battled for the coveted championship belt.

However, the highly anticipated moment of the scorecard announcement turned into chaos when ring announcer Lt Dan Hennessey made a critical error in reading out the judges’ decision.

Initially declaring Hughes as the victor with scores of 98-92 and 96-94, Hennessey’s announcement was met with confusion and uproar as it was soon revealed that Johnson had actually secured the victory with two judges scoring the fight in her favor.

Amidst the pandemonium, Johnson expressed her relief at the correction, believing she had performed well enough to emerge victorious despite the initial mix-up.

In contrast, Hughes, visibly devastated and bewildered by the turn of events, questioned the validity of the revised decision, feeling that she had dominated the early rounds and deserved the win.

Promoter Lou DiBella echoed Hughes’s sentiments, labeling the situation as a shocking turn of events and advocating for a potential rematch to rectify the controversial outcome.
