Fantasy Springs Casino, Indio, California, USA. In the main event of the boxing evening from Oscar De La Hoya (Golden Boy Promotions) and
streaming DAZN Puerto Rican former world champion Angel Acosta (23-3, 22 KOs) scored in the opening round of the ex-challenger compatriot who has long turned into a journeyman Haniel Riveru (18-9-3, 11 KOs).
Acosta shook the underdog, drove him into a corner and began to beat him. The referee was nearby, but for some reason he did not dare to intervene in the course of events for a long time. A slightly creepy episode.
