Wright did not come out for the 4th round, citing difficulty breathing and standing. The ringside physician, stated that a blow below Wright's heart was probably responsible for Wright's problems. Wright had boxed well over the first two rounds, slipping and ducking Hunick's haymakers. In the 3rd round, an uppercut to Wright's midsection started his downfall, however.
