Bizarre endings nothing new in sport of boxing ED KOCH is a SUN reporter. They weren't kidding. I recall one incident many years ago where a fighter in a Las Vegas ring continuously cuffed, pushed and head-butted his opponent. Then, for good measure, he grabbed the referee and kneed him in the groin. Naturally, the fight, like Holyfield-Tyson II, ended in a disqualification, with several people pouring into the ring, where a melee ensued.
Nothing changes in boxing.
The referee also was suspended and never again worked a fight. I was to get an eyeful of boxing at its worst. The club fights at the old Slipper weren't all that bad. A lot of young fighters put on some memorable six-round slugfests for a couple hundred bucks apiece. In short, there was a lot more boxing and a lot less biting than there was last Saturday night - and for a whole lot less prize money.
