Spark Defeats Love By Disqualification

Stevie Spark scored a controversial sixth round disqualification over Montana Love in a scheduled 12-round junior welterweight bout at The Rocket Mortgage Arena in Cleveland.

In round two, Spark dropped Love with a hard right hand. In round six, Love was cut over his right eye by an accidental headbutt. Love was checked by the ringside doctor, who gave Love another minute. Love ran after Spark and tried to roughouse him. Love took it too far, as he crowded Spark on the ropes and a forearm to throat thrusted Spark over the top rope, and the fight was stopped at 25 seconds.
