[Cuban athlete] Matos was winning 3-2, with 1:02 in the second round, when he fell to the mat after being hit by his opponent, Kazakhstan's Arman Chilmanov. He was sitting there, awaiting medical attention, when he was disqualified for taking too much injury time.
Well, with the vaunted Cuban health care system he is used to waiting several years for basic first aid so of course this seemed absurd to him!

(Often wrong, but never in doubt!)
I’m guessing the injury was not his legs ... otherwise he wouldn’t have kicked the ref. Oh, boy! LOL!
