Gane finished off Pereira in the second round to win the title on Sunday after sending him stumbling with a right jab followed by a hammer fist. The referee then stopped the fight 1:27 into the round after a left to the chin.<\/p>\n

After hitting Pereira with a jab, Gane launched a brutal floor sequence that included elbows to the back of the head.<\/p>\n

Pereira said on his social media it was difficult for him to recover from those \u201cillegal shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that if it wasn\u2019t for those shots I\u2019d be in that situation, and I could have possibly recovered,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe not, but they were very hard shots, and illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pereira criticized referee Herb Dean, saying he should not have been picked for their fight. Dean explained his decisions in a video, saying \u201cthe rule we\u2019re talking about is the back of the head, and that\u2019s confusing because it\u2019s different in boxing.\u201d<\/p>\n
