Press Release - Welterweight contender Irving Garcia and his camp arrived from Kiev Ukraine today with a look of disappointment following their controversial draw with undefeated Ukrainian Yuriy Nuzhnenko last Saturday.
The bout was stopped after ten rounds of action, due to a cut suffered by Nuzhnenko, which was caused by an accidental headbutt earlier in the fight. One judge had Nuzhnenko winning by one point (96-95), while the other two scored it even, 95-95 apiece, declaring the contest a technical majority draw.
