im still un sure as to why chuck is suspended is jus cuz he lost the way he did??? can any1 clear this up for me
Right. Anytime you are knocked unconscious you face a minimum 45 day suspension.
As far as severity goes his KO was seen as less severe than Keith Jardine’s, who was suspended for 60 days. Also from this list we can see Carmelo Marrero was indeed unconscious when he lost because he received a minimum suspension as well.
