This guy DID fight that night and lost. Look at his record: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?cat=boxer&human_id=239099
The Dude is a circuit loser and perhaps Sirb was attempting to protect him for his own good.Sirb's mistake would appear that he did not inform him of this decision. Travis has articulated well his dilema,but why should a commission be responsible for compensation when the commission is clearly trying to protect the kid?And why would the kid sign a fight only 2 weeks after his current one?Did he inform the promoters at the Mansion of this?I highly doubt it. The old story,don't count your chickens before they are hatched,especially if you are the suspected underdog.
No he didn't. Read it, he was suppose to have fought on the Karmazin-Echols card at The Playboy Mansion on the 21st.
