    Gvozdyk still in the hospital. Complains of shots to back of the head

    Former light heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk will remain at a Philadelphia hospital for another night as a precaution, trainer Teddy Atlas told ESPN, after Friday night's unification bout against Artur Beterbiev.


    About an hour after the fight, Gvozdyk, with Atlas at his side, walked under his own power to a waiting ambulance in the arena tunnel for the short ride to the hospital to be checked out as a precaution. But they were still at the hospital on Saturday night.

    "I'm still here with him," Atlas said. "I just brought him last night because he had pain behind his head from the punches he got hit there, so they did a scan and saw a possible small something and did another scan six hours later and [the doctor] wanted us to stay 24 hours to be safe. So we canceled his flight, and I will stay with him here another night, then [on Sunday] bring him to my home [in New York] -- just again to be safe. Then Monday, he will fly home. He is OK.

    "He's fine, but we are still here just as precaution and will stay the night. [On Sunday] morning, if all is the same, they will discharge him."

    Not Beterbiev's fault that his opponent kept leaning forward

      ... not good, not good at all...

      But (anyway) Beterbiev hit him with everything to the body, to the chin, nose eyes, temples as well...

        One of the overrated Ukrainians bites the dust.

        I hope to Yarde back soon. Get two tune-ups then fight Browne. After that, go for Bivol. And Gvozdyk after that.

        War Yarde!

          You're from "Londinium", right?...

          ... and you don't want Yarde to go right into a Beterbiev fight just (nearly) next, right?...
