Farcical Scenes Unfold in Crossover Bout
Fans were left bewildered as a crossover boxing bout turned into chaos when an MMA fighter seemingly "forgot" what sport he was competing in. The bizarre incident took place during a match between MMA ace Marcin Sianos and boxing prospect Artur Bizewski in Koszalin, Poland.
Disqualification and Outrage
During the second round of the fight, Sianos appeared to lose track of the rules after rocking his opponent and resorted to an MMA-style takedown, followed by ground strikes. This led to his disqualification, much to the fury of spectators who attempted to storm the ring and hurl objects at Sianos, who had to be escorted out by security.
Social Media Reaction
Footage of the incident quickly spread on social media, prompting a wave of humorous and critical comments. Even Sianos himself took to Instagram to address the unsportsmanlike behavior, expressing regret and offering to rematch Bizewski for charity, acknowledging his mistake and the impact it had on his sportsmanship.
