Mark Greubel said Carlos Iraburo’s knockout of Michael Kirkham at this past Saturday’s
“Confrontation at the Convocation Center” wasn’t unlike thousands of
fights he’d seen before.

Greubel, who trained Iraburo and was in his corner during the fight,
also said that the event, which took place at the USC Aiken Convocation
Center in Aiken, S.C., was well-managed by its promoters and athletic
commission officials.

“I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary or that I could say was
