Clash Of The Kings: Artur Grigorian vs. Acelino Freitas
Mashantucket, CT
135 lbs
Eddie Cotton
WBO Lightweight Championship
Undefeated WBA and WBO Super Featherweight Champion Acelino Freitas moves up to 135 pounds to challenge undefeated and long-reigning WBO Lightweight Champion Artur Grigorian. In the fourth round, Freitas staggers Grigorian with a right hand and then drops him on his backside with an uppercut. Freitas overshoots a right in the sixth and pushes Grigorian down, which Referee Eddie Cotton mistakenly rules a knockdown. Pushing and shoving Grigorian down twice more, Freitas is incorrectly credited with two more knockdowns in the seventh and eighth rounds. Cotton then randomly deducts a point from Freitas for a low blow in the tenth despite no prior warnings. After twelve rounds and a terrible night of officiating by Cotton, Freitas becomes a two-division champion by unanimous decision.
