Boxing robbery # 6 million and 6: Kobolev-Young

"an accidental headbutt ended action at 1:31 of the second round of a cruiserweight contest between Sergey Kovalev (15-0-1) and Grover Young..."

"Kovalev and Young fought to a second round technical draw at The Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, CA, when Young claimed he was unable to continue due to what was ruled as an accidental blow behind his ear."



Looks like the bull**** story is evolving. Tomorrow they'll probably be saying that Kovolev hit Young with a folding chair.

"As Grover Young dropped to the canvas from a left hook to the head, light heavyweight Sergey Kovalev thought that he had just racked up another victory. Instead of scoring his fifth consecutive knockout in a span of about five and a half months, Kovalev walked out of the ring in disgust that an unwarranted draw is on his record"

 

I never even heard such bull**** before! They're not even claiming that he was deliberately hitting him behind the head or something. These boxing bandits are so incompetent and so obvious and they don't even give a **** if you know it.

 

"Young claimed he was unable to continue due to what was ruled as an accidental blow behind his ear"

But here it's supposed to be a head butt - anbd how do you manage to get carried out of the ring on a stretcher from an accidental head butt?

The main event fight between undefeated cruiserweight prospect Sergey Kovalev (15-0-1) and Grocer Young (5-4-1) ended after an accidental headbutt at 1:31 of the second round. After the headbutt, Young dropped to the canvas and was carried out on a stretcher. The bout took place at the Playboy Mansion in Holmby Hills, Beverly Hills, California. The fight was pronounced as a technical draw.

Yeah, unfortunately it does, especially for a fight held in Las Vegas - or the Playboy Mansion.
