Tonight isn’t just about the Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo fight; the UK also hosts televised boxing. This is because Caroline Dubois and Magali Rodriguez are making headlines at York Hall in London now. In this bout, Dubois, undefeated, faces Rodriguez, a former WBA Bantamweight title challenger from Mexico. They are fighting for 10 rounds for the vacant IBO Lightweight title.

Moreover, what added to the excitement of the match was the undercard fight between Jeamie TKV and Igor Macedo. The fight took an unexpected turn in the sixth round when Igor Macedo landed a mighty right hand. This blow caused Jeamie TKV’s right eye to bleed profusely, leading to a shocking result at York Hall. Moreover, although fans sympathize with Jeamie’s condition, they think his loss was well deserved.

According to fans, Jeamie TKV was “going to lose anyway”

In a recent tweet by renowned Sports Journalist Michael Benson, he shares a snap of Jeamie’s injury. Benson wrote, “Horror cut for Jeamie TKV, who has to be stopped as a result and so suffers his first defeat to Igor Macedo.”

Heralding the spree of reactions, a fan thinks that it was indeed “embarrassing” that the fight had a place in the main card of the event.

Then, a second user draws an analogy by saying that “TKV was going to lose anyway” and that even YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul could have easily defeated him.

A third fan thinks the injury could leave a scar for TKV. Adding a pun in turn to the “scar” as it represents his loss.

Next a fourth fan opines that the cut TKV got was “nasty.” However, he thinks that he “never really looked like winning.” Furthermore, he sends his best wishes for him to heal soon.

Moreover, a follower draws in nostalgia by making striking parallels between Jeamie’s injury and the deep bruise Tyson Fury got in his fight against Otto Wallin.
