|
White retains title and Hurley loses for the first time By Josh Gross  WILLIAMS, CALIF. – It came down to the judges Sunday night as two awarded Vernon "Tiger" White with a majority decision against Marvin Eastman. A third judge ruled the fight a draw despite what many felt was a close fight in Eastman’s favor. The stand up fighting was extremely close and White controlled the submission game. In the end White retained his King of the Cage Light-Heavyweight title and ran his record to 8-4. White’s teammate, Joe Hurley, saw a unanimous decision go against him as Gil Castillo became the new KOTC Middleweight Champion. Castillo, 15-0, controlled the fight from the ground, mounting Hurley in the second round. The loss marked the first in Hurley’s career as he fell to 11-1. Sean Sherk destroyed Martin Armandarez in an amazing display of ground and pound. Sherk dominated the takedowns and Armandarez could do little but lie on his back and eat punches. Referee Larry Landless stopped the contest 2:07 into the third round. Other results:
