Former world champion Regis Prograis aims to get a technical decision victory changed to a knockout after some less-than-professional antics by his opponent.
Ivan Redkach, not one to shy away from controversy, took a blow to his side and went down writhing in agony. He claimed the shot was low.
The super lightweight eventually had to be stretched out of the arena for treatment. Prograis got the victory.
But that’s not all. Replays indicate that Redkach took the punch nowhere near his family jewels. Since then, he’s been the subject of widespread ridicule. REGIS PROGRAIS CHANGE
Prograis now wants the outcome altered to give him a 22nd career knockout.
“I want that decision changed to a KO on my record. That wasn’t low. That’s bull—,” said Prograis.
UPDATE: RESULT OFFICIALLY CHANGED TO TKO6 (April 19)

IVAN REDKACH REACTION
Instantly becoming a meme on social media, Redkach faces a job regaining respect from the fans after an Oscar-worthy performance.
The consensus is that he knew full well it wasn’t low. But once he sold that fact, there was no turning back for him.
