Video: Chaos erupts after DQ and cheap shot in Andre Dirrell vs. Jose Uzcategui fight on Showtime

The Showtime Boxing match-up between Andre Dirrell and Jose Uzcategui ended up being one fans will be talking about for some time - but not for good reasons. The chaos began at the end of round 8, when Jose Uzcategui landed a blatantly late punch after the bell. That punch dropped Dirrell hard, sending him sprawling to the mat. This was the second late punch from Uzcategui, and the referee ruled the fight a disqualification win for Dirrell at the end of the 8th round.

In the aftermath, things became quite heated, culminating in Dirrell’s uncle Leon Lawson Jr.
