Montenegrin boxer Petar Marčić finished his performance at the international tournament "Belgrade Winner" in the quarterfinals.
During the first round of the quarter-final fight in the category up to 81 kilograms against Best Ševakiv from Russia, Marčić suffered a burst above his right eye.
The doctor, after the examination, decided to stop the fight.
"Marčić's arcade broke from a head blow in the clinch, but the referee showed that it was from a hand blow. He started well, he sensed his rival, I'm sure he would have beaten him," coach Nikola Ružić told the MINA agency.
He explained that the referee showed that the interruption was the result of a head kick, then the first round would have been scored.
Marčić defeated Marcel Mainl from Austria yesterday.
Another Montenegrin representative, Stefan Savković, was defeated by Ismail Mutsologov from Russia yesterday in the category up to 71 kilograms.
