Love was disqualified for his WWE style move
Spark ended up somersaulting over the top rope and onto the floor
Love, 27, had been knocked down earlier in the super lightweight fight in Cleveland before a clash of heads saw him suffer a cut above his eye.
But he got a little carried away as he tried to get on the front foot.
With the bout in the sixth round, Love pushed Spark from the centre of the ring all the way back onto the ropes.
From there he sent Spark, 26, careering over the top rope and out of the ring entirely, right in front of promoter Eddie Hearn.
Luckily the Aussie fighter was unhurt and quickly clambered back into the ring.
He was then handed the win after Love was disqualified.
Speaking after the fight Hearn, who promotes Love, blasted the disqualification as a “terrible decision”.
The Matchroom chief couldn’t have had a better view after Spark practically fell in his lap.
But he told DAZN: “I saw it right in front of me. It was a terrible decision by the referee.”
Hearn added: “Everyone looked lost in the decision-making process. Montana was rough but he was right, he didn’t pick him up.
“Credit to Stevie Spark. When he fell out of the ring, he got right back up and made his way back to the ring. Montana Love didn’t look for a way out, it was turning into a real fight. Montana got off the floor.
“The referees got to stop making these quick decisions. The referee has a tough job but that was a poor decision. Maybe we’ll do it again.”
Love meanwhile protested his innocence after being disqualified.
He insisted he “never intentionally” sent Spark somersaulting out of the ring.
The American told DAZN: “I’m holding the rope. He elbowed me, was doing dirty tactics all night, roughhousing.
“I’m not one of those guys that’s going for that. So, I pushed him off me. I never intentionally [pushed Spark out of the ring]. I’m not picking him up.
“He’s wrapping his arm around me, grabbing me, and I just pushed him. It ain’t no I picked him up and pushed out the ring. It was just a terrible call.”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the contrary, a straight punch takes less power but is faster than most punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations of punches which work together to achieve a goal. One combination can have many parts. A combination may include multiple parts. For example, damage to the jaw of an opponent can be caused by a left hook and a right cross.
Guard Techniques
A boxer protects himself by using his body. He does this by using his legs.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he’s hit, he raises his right leg and runs away from the attacker. To avoid being kicked in the side, he bends down if the attacker attacks from the front. He will block the kick with his foot if the attack is coming from behind.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. An elbow strike can be delivered either directly or indirectly. Directly means you hit your opponent directly with your forearm. While indirectly, it means you hit him with another section of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use their hands to block incoming blows. Boxers use their hands to stop incoming punches. They raise their fists up above their heads and move towards the attack. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
To absorb the impact of a punch to the stomach, abdomen, or chest, boxers should bend their knees. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
A boxer should take control of an attack and respond with counter-attacks. He can then gain distance from his opponent. Additionally, boxers need to maintain their balance when they counter-attack.
Stances
Boxing is only possible if a boxer has a clear stance. How he defends his self will depend on how he stances. It determines his position and the direction he will face. There are many positions that boxers can adopt. Here are the most commonly used ones:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
Move your body
A boxer must change his position, speed and rhythm in order to win the fight. This involves changing positions, speed, rhythm and timing.
Rotation
Rotating his arm to increase the puncher’s reach is a key part of boxing. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
Timing of each punch is crucial to the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that is effective starts with a strong punch, and ends with one that is weak.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. In conclusion, the purpose of sparring is to learn how to fight and not get hurt.
Learning to box takes dedication and patience. To be a better boxer you need to train hard.
