Bryant Myers triumphed over the Cuban reggaeton artist Ovi in the highly anticipated boxing match held this Friday in Puerto Rico, winning by unanimous decision from the judges and taking home the event's belt.
The showdown took place at the Rubén Rodríguez Coliseum in Bayamón and brought together thousands of fans of urban music and boxing.
Ovi reacts after the defeat
Despite the setback, Ovi reacted calmly, although visibly frustrated. On his social media, he made his doubts about the fairness of the fight clear.
"Everyone knows that if I didn't knock him out, it was impossible to win this fight. The federation was on his side. On the floor was only his logo. He was hitting me in the back," wrote the Cuban artist in his Instagram stories.
The Cuban singer also criticized his opponent's fighting style.
"Myers was running more than Slayter in the ring, as if he were competing for an Olympic title. I don’t understand; if I don’t go after him, nothing happens. That’s why I didn’t want to have the fight here in PR."
Ovi explained why he acted impulsively during one of the assaults.
"Bryant, forgive the kick and the hit that weren't counted when you fell. I acted that way because you know you struck me from behind when the bell rang that the audience made. That didn't count. You caught me off guard and even then you didn't knock me out," he expressed.
The Cuban requested a rematch and challenged the Puerto Rican rapper.
"Let's have a rematch, a fair fight in Miami, with a Cuban federation I know, but don't rush so much. You hit me a couple of times when I came at you."
