JEAN MORAITI MEEKLY SURRENDERS IN BELGIUM

Meriton Karaxha KO1 Jean Moraiti Belgium-based Albanian Meriton Karaxha (21-5-2) defeated France’s Jean Moraiti (17-15-4) from France on Friday in Lessines, Belgium in a welterweight fight that ended before it really got started. Karaxha started the fight fast and tried to force Moraiti backwards. Moraiti left his body wide open and enabled Karaxha to land good body shots. Moraiti felt the sharp punches from Karaxha, and ended up in his own corner where he was floored by a long barrage of shots to body and head. One punch landed a little too late, and Moraiti complained with good reason. But before referee Philippe Wouters could finish his count and potentially deduct a point from Karaxha, the French corner threw in the towel and gave up for their man. Wouters kicked out the towel, refusing to accept the surrender, but Moraiti wanted no more and turned his back. Official time of stoppage was 2:37 of the first round. source: wbf
