Man, what a total sham of an ending. A DQ on Gevor for an accidental clash of heads which was followed by a bizzarre wrestle to the ground, which was totally orchastrated by Stieglitz holding Gevor by the arm and shoulder. Just the oddest thing. Then for Gevor to try attacking the ref. That reaction is terrible, but on the flip side, that referee and the ending needs to be investigated IMO, total sham, pretty much giving the fight to Stieglitz.
Stieglitz was winning it anyway. It was not just because of the clash of the heads, in that round Gevor was hitting Robert at the back of the head, wrestling him down, than hitting while he is down. His behavior at the end proved that this guy is not grown enough to be in the boxing ring.Quote:

Boxing - Gevor suspended six months
Super middleweight contender Khoren Gevor has been suspended for six months and fined 5,100 Euros by the BDB (German Boxing Federation) for attacking referee Manfred Kuechler, who had disqualified him in the tenth round of a WBO world title fight against Robert Stieglitz last weekend in Magdeburg, Germany. Gevor later personally apologized to Kuechler. “The fact that the suspension wasn’t harsher is due to Manfred Kuechler accepting Gevor’s apology and calling for no serious sanctions,” said BDB President Thomas Pütz. “In addition, in making our decision we considered that that Khoren understands and shows regret for his action. Also, we’ve known him for years as an impeccable sportsman, and so we accept this as an emotional act and set the penalty accordingly.”
“We accept the punishment,” said Gevor’s manager Peter Schulze. “Khoren behaved improperly and has to live with the consequences.” Schulze also called for an immediate rematch with Stieglitz when Gevor’s suspension expires because “at the moment, too many questions remain unanswered.”
