Investigation Launched In Slice Vs.Petruzelli Fight
As you can imagine, an investigation has been launched to determine whether there is a case of fight-fixing in the Seth Pertuzelli Vs. Kimbo Slice match from October 4th on Elite XC "Heat". Here’s is the video from the fight again.
The Florida State Boxing Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into allegation that the main event at Elite XC "Heat" match between under-card fighter Seth Petruzelli and Kimbo Slice was fixed.
The commission will be questioning the promoters, head of fight operations, Vice President and CEO of Elite XC. Press secretary Alexis Antonacci of Florida’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) stated the following.:
“We still don’t have any reason to believe that there was any wrongdoing that occurred,” she said. “But given the interest in the matter, we thought it would be best to just go ahead and open up an investigation and we’ll probably follow that up with a review.”
The finding should be back in about a week and a half.

Looked like he got knocked out to me too. I think that front kick kind of threw him off a bit and may have even knocked the wind out of him. When he got hit with that right, it looked as if it stunned him. After the ref stopped the fight and Kimbo was still trying to recover and fight the ref, it was either quite obvious that he got stunned bad somewhere in there or that he was playing it off really well. I think he got knocked out.
