Comments Thread For: Ferrante Claims He Was Railroaded By The NYSAC

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

PHILADELPHIA - On January 19th 2013, cruiserweight fighter Anthony Ferrante went into Madison Square Garden on 20 days’ notice and knocked out previously undefeated Isa Akberbayev of Russia on the HBO undercard of Gabriel Rosado and Gennady Golovkin. Akerbayev is managed by the same people who oversee the career of Gennady Golovkin and promoted by powerhouse promoter K2 in Europe. Ferrante had no manager, no promoter, and only a punchers chance against the bigger and seemingly better Russian fighter. Ferrante fought hard and in round 10, Ferrante landed a right cross sending the undefeated Russian to the canvas in a dazzling KO. Right away Ferrante knew something was wrong when the referee announced it was a TKO instead of KO. Akerbayev was totally out, and there was no count. As Ferrante sits in his living room in NE Philly, he recounts the night.

Total b.s. the way they're treating this fighter. I hope he gets the title and flat out annihilates the NYSAC. This sport has no room for corruption. I realize it does and will continue to happen unfortunately, but this level of blatant b.s. shouldn't ever be allowed to happen.

All this just because he beat an undefeated Russian promoted by K2?

Akberbayev isn't from Russia and he's not promoted by K2
