  "account": "Ghanaian boxer John \"The Expensive Boxer\" Laryea faced a disappointing night in Buenos Aires as he was disqualified in his WBA Featherweight title eliminator against Argentina's Maximilliano Robledo. The fight commenced favorably for Laryea, who utilized his movement to thwart Robledo and occasionally landed powerful punches. However, the tide swiftly turned in Robledo's favor. In the third round, a right hook from Robledo sent Laryea to the canvas, a strike that was followed by additional blows in the fourth and fifth rounds. As Robledo maintained relentless pressure, Laryea resorted to low blows, initially receiving a point deduction before being warned multiple times by referee Janny Guzman. The ninth round saw Laryea inflict yet another low blow, prompting referee Guzman to disqualify him and award the victory to Robledo. Post-match, Robledo's record improved to 14-1 with six knockouts, setting him up for a future bout against the winner of the upcoming Figueroa-Kameda fight, with the aim of challenging for the WBA Featherweight title. This marked Laryea's first professional defeat, updating his record to 17 wins and one defeat after 18 fights.",
