.......In other action tonight a Super Middleweight bout between Jean Palacio and Eric Clinton ended prematurely after an unintentional head-butt cut Palacio to the degree that the fight was stopped and declared a "no decision". Then, in a Light Welterweight event, Travis Hartman was the victim of an "unintentional low blow" which resulted in his opponent Damian Frias being given a TKO win as Hartman was unable to continue after five minutes rest.
The crowd booed Hartman for not going on, but I think the bout should have been called no contest. It is entirely possible that a low blow might traumatize a boxer's jewels to the degree that it would take a week or two to get squared away. I had a football injury which sidelined me for ten days. If the epididimis (sp ?) is bruised, it can take a week just to be able to walk without looking like Pacos Bill........
