Daniel Dubois vs Kevin Lerena Match Events & Post-match Reactions
In the first round, when Dubois appeared stiff and reluctant, the two sparred superficial blows before Lerena dropped Dubois to the ground with a startlingly rapid blow to the temple, which also incited the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium audience to explode in wrath. Lerena took advantage of the momentum to score additional two knockdowns, as he proved that his confidence going into the fight wasn’t baseless.
Nevertheless, by the third round, Dubois had regained both his wobbly footing and his self-confidence despite Lerena’s persistently combative ring stance. Lerena, who was leaning against the ropes, was rattled by the heavier man’s flurry of combinations and brutal uppercut, which paved path for yet another KO victory for Dubois. During his post-match interview, Dubois explained that his disastrous opening round was owing to his leg injury and he was able to shake it off enroute to his third-round KO win. Dubois
