Zelenoff Disqualified in first round

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

2008-05-03 : Andrew Hartley beat Charlie Zelenoff by DQ in round 1 of 4

Location: Paris Middle School, Paris, Arkansas, USA
Referee: Steve Thommason

From Deep South Boxing.com:
In the feature fight on the undercard, Fort Smith’s Andrew “Kid Thunder” Hartley put an exclamation mark on his promise to shut down and shut up debuting California lightweight Charlie “Russian Pride” Zelenoff. Zelenoff turned out to be a “lightweight” in more than just classification.
Zelenoff, who had called out Hartley in a series of profanity-laced Internet videos on YouTube and through other postings on BoxRec, lasted 1:14 into the first round before intentionally spitting out his mouthpiece for the third time. He drew a disqualification in the much bally-hooed showdown.
“He (Zelenoff) was shouting at me the whole time that Hartley was cheating,” said referee Tomlinson. “Unless the definition of cheating has been changed to ‘he’s hitting me too much,’ I didn’t see much merit in his complaint. I disqualified him for deliberately spitting out his mouthpiece.”

Hahaha he seriously looked like he'd never been hit hard before, I guess that's what you get for going to a gym where there's no contact sparring and then turning pro haha

I was 67-3 as an amatuer. My father was always in the audience... I would never... I REPEAT NEVER neven THINK about spitting out my mouth piece... Even if the kid is cheating (which he wasn't) it's not your call. Especially as a "professional"... You owe it to the people in the crowd to put on a show.

In watching this I seriously can not even comment on the cowardice.

It takes a different kind to put on the gloves and get in the ring, headgear or not.

I'm proud to say I've been in there... People like this are just pitiful...

This actually disgusted me and had me laughing and in tears all at the same time

I was like 57-12 as an amateur. I know I sucked, and though I have not been in the ring for over 20 years, Charley makes me feel great about my abilities even now!LOL

I have probably been in the corner for about no less then 200 amateur fights and I have had 11yr old kids in their first fight get hammered but still not give up...

One time I was at a show with my guys and this one kid needed a cornerman because something happened with his coach...The kid was about 17yrs old...5'5" and round as a beach ball...He could barely get up the ring steps...He was stuck fighting as a supre heavyweight and the fellow he fought was about 6'5" and went about 275...this poor fat kid was clocked knocked down made to run around the ring then caught a punch in the nose with a shot that shut the whole crowd up to a dead silence it was so loud....I threw the towel in just before the ref had the chance to stop it....

This kid never stopped trying no matter how bad he was getting abused...

Yes he sucked and yes he will more then likely never have another bout or at least until he can drop down to guys his own height and reach but he never quit...was pissed we stopped it....

Then you have jerks like this acting like a school girl being bullied on the playground....

They should take his license away before he embaresses the sport again
