•14 years ago

The team of Venezuelan Nehomar Cermeño are still shocked with his actions during last Saturday's super bantamweight fight with Fernando Montiel in Culiacan, Mexico. Cermeno (20-4, 12KOs) had many tough battles and his prior three defeats were all close split decisions. But on Saturday, Cermeño told his corner to throw in the towel after two rounds. Cermeno's trainer said it was his fighter's decision to quit on the stool. The trainer begged for his fighter to continue and made several attempts to re-insert the mouthpiece. With only ten seconds left in the second, Montiel caught him with a deadly hook to the liver. Cermeno, 31-years-old, told his corner that he didn't have anything left and refused to come out for round three.
