Watch what happened when Andre Dirrell's uncle and trainer, Leon Lawson, delivered a disgraceful sucker punch on Jose Uzcategui in the ring.

Andre Dirrell's trainer and uncle Leon Lawson delivered a disgraceful sucker-punch on his nephew's opponent.

Uzcategui was controversially disqualified after landing an upppercut on Dirrell, who went down, got to his knees, but went down again.

The fighter himself left it at that once the decision went his way but then Lawson took it to an even lower level by landing a one-two on Uzcategui.
