California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) recently released its list of injuries and medical suspensions for those fighters competing at the BKFC: “KnuckleMania 4” boxing event last weekend in Los Angeles, with five combatants facing six month vacations, or more, depending on how quickly they can be cleared by a physician.
Headliner Mike Perry was hit with a 60-day sit for his winning performance against Thiago Alves. The now-retired “Pitbull” will have to remain sidelined for the next 45 days in case he has a change of heart and wants a return to action. Co-headliners Ben Rothwell and Todd Duffee were also flagged by CSAC, as well.
