WBC Lightweight Title Eliminator Bout (12 Rds)

Antonio DeMarco (22-1-1, 16 KOs) wins by KO at 2:59 of the 9th round over Anges Adjaho (17-3, 9 KOs)

In the ninth round, Adjaho took a knee from a straight left (as Adjaho was taking the knee, DeMarco was

following up with a left that looked to have hit Adjaho behind the head but the replay showed Adjaho's knee

hadn't yet touched the canvas and it looked like the punch missed). And as DeMarco missed with the

left, Adjaho then rolled onto his stomach with his gloves covering his face and took the 10 count (the bell

rang to end the round as the count was being administered). And when Adjaho was counted out, he popped

up quickly and was complaining he got hit behind the head.
