Bout Summary
The most surreal moment of the night took place in the third bout of the night. Heavyweights Askia Snyder of Baltimore and "The People's Champion" Jonathan Felton of Stafford, VA were slated to meet in a four-round contest. However, when Felton entered the ring, he began to move toward Snyder and began to taunt him. One of Snyder's cornermen tried to move Felton away with a little push. Felton pushed back harshly, Snyder jumped in and a full-scale two-man brawl ensued with both men ending up on the mat. The bout never happened and both boxers were disqualified. Maryland State Athletic Commission members said there will be a full scale investigation and a hearing that will probably lead to fines and/or suspensions.
