FRANK SANCHEZ stunned the Tyson Fury vs Deontay wilder crowd by punching Efe Adagba while his knee was bent.
Ajagba was knocked to the ground by the Cuban at 29 years old. However, he delivered an additional blow to make sure he won't lose the count.
Ajagba did it and fought valiantly, but Sanchez won the unanimous decision.
Sanchez won round seven with a score of 10-8 after he had floored Ajagba. However, BT Sport Box Office commentators suggested that Sanchez could have been penalized for his late punch.
Ajagba had not touched the canvas with his gloves, so the referee ruled in Ajagba’s favor.
It was uncomfortable to watch, especially as replays showed the punch twice.
T-Mobile Arena fans could be heard wailing in dismay at the Cuban's actions.
It was, however, a questionable moment. Sanchez is undefeated in 19 fights.
