  • Gates down early in round 2 from a straight right hand to the head, followed by a hard body shot.
  • A few moments after the fight resumes, Gates decides to take a knee notwithstanding the fact that Lemieux is nowhere near him and is not throwing any punches. He stays down holding his right arm and his corner throws in the towel.
