Hello, everyone, and welcome back to talking tv, where we bring you the latest in sports news. Today, we have a bizarre incident straight from the world of boxing that left fans and fighters scratching their heads.
In a bout between Cherneka Johnson and Nina Hughes in Perth, Australia, on Sunday, chaos ensued when ring announcer Dan Hennessey mistakenly declared the wrong winner. Despite Johnson securing the victory via a majority decision, Hennessey, in a moment reminiscent of Steve Harvey's Miss Universe blunder, initially announced Hughes as the winner.
The confusion didn't end there. Hennessey quickly realized his error and corrected it, leading to an awkward scene in the ring as Johnson rightfully claimed her victory.
This wasn't the only hiccup in Hennessey's announcing career that night. He also fumbled the scorecards for another fight earlier in the evening, leaving spectators and viewers baffled.
ESPN's Joe Tessitore didn't hold back, lambasting the announcer's performance as an "absolute clown show garbage amateur hour."
Despite the chaotic turn of events, Johnson ultimately got the recognition she deserved. After all, in the world of boxing, it's the outcome inside the ring that truly matters.
