Announcers weirdly laughed after Naoya Inoue’s body blows TKO’d TJ Doheny

“He said, hold up, he hit me in the stomach and dislocated my back.”

Naoya Inoue delivered another win to defend his super bantamweight belt, with a Round 7 TKO of TJ Doheny, in a moment that was a little bizarre: a few heavy body blows from Inoue led to Doheny grabbing at his back and the fight ending.

But there are folks criticizing the call from ESPN’s Timothy Bradley Jr. and Bernardo Osuna, the former of whom joked, “He said, hold up, he hit me in the stomach and dislocated my back.”

Bradley laughed, and fans weren’t too happy about that given the injury that led to the end of the fight.

Here’s that moment and some criticism:
