(JULY 26) The fight between Lucia Larcinese and Lindsay Garbatt took place on July 19, 2008, in Ontario, Canada.
Shortly after the fight was stopped in the fourth---the crowd began to immediately chant, "Rematch, Rematch".

Well, the crowd is not the only one crying out for a rematch. Larcinese is also calling foul play on the fight being stopped!

Larcinese wrote an open letter to WBAN about her fight with Garbatt, and she stated the following:

"In regards to the Larcinese vs. Garbatt fight, I will tell you what happened, and my knees never buckled ever in the fight, for the record. The fight was stopped prematurely due to a biased decision that was made by the referee in the 20 seconds left in the fourth round of the fight. How pathetic!
Before the referee stopped the fight, I put my hands up. What the referee should have done was to make me walk forward a couple of steps and see if I could continue, which he never did. I was not in any danger, ready to fight back.
EVERYONE in the arena began to boo the decision and chanting rematch for a few minutes. I find it funny that when the announcer announced Garbatt the winner by TKO, they continued to boo loudly, showing their disappointment, continuously chanting rematch, knowing this was a bullshit fight. For the record, anytime she wants a rematch, she`ll have one. In the meantime, I have been given a 60 day suspension, as a result of a very bad decision."
