A boxing referee was subjected to a terrible punch in the face during a confrontation, on Saturday evening, between Mexican star Mario Aguilar and Brandon Gallanton.
The British newspaper, “Daily Mail”, said that Aguilar was facing undefeated under heavyweight Glanton when the accident occurred, as the two boxers were competing for the vacant world title of the World Boxing Organization.
Aguilar entered the fight as the least likely to win and struggled in the second round following Glanton fired a left hook punch into his opponent’s body.
As a result, Glanton claimed his 17th win in a row, however, it wasn’t the 30-year-old’s victory that caught people’s attention on Saturday night.

Instead, he got a lot of attention the moment Aguilar hit the referee in the face following Glanton got away with the punch.
Aguilar threw a strong left punch to the referee’s face, who was close to the boxers, while Gallanton lowered his head to escape the punch and go directly to the referee’s face, who fell back from the impact of the punch, but he dealt with the matter as if nothing had happened and immediately returned to the fight.
After this powerful punch, the crowd shouted and everyone in the hall cried out in shock. And it didn’t stop there, with some rushing to social media to praise the ruling.
“The referee got punched in the chin,” one supporter wrote on his Twitter account, while another fan said: “The referee handled it well. fair play!”.

One Twitter user added, “(Amir) Khan was dancing like a chicken following the punch,” while another said: “What the clip doesn’t show is the referee’s return with a metal chair.”
Others took to the social media platform, where boxing promoter Louie DiBella also wrote: “Wow, this really happened last night. The best punch of the round goes to the referee’s face.”
