There were questions from the Showtime announcers about whether or not Fortuna had hit his head. The 28-year-old lightweight was treated with caution and placed into a neck brace. He was taken away in a stretcher.
Showtime’s announcers also questioned whether Fortuna was legitimately hurt or whether there were some shenanigans.
The fight was stopped with 10 seconds remaining in the fourth round, meaning it wasn’t an official fight by Texas rules. It ended up being a no contest.
