'Jungleman' Boxing Match Result Overturned: Poker Pro Loses Via TKO

The controversial ending to a boxing match involving poker pro Dan "Jungleman" Cates has been overturned.

Ryan "Elf" Noel, the favorite entering the Beverly Hills Fight Club match on Jan 22., landed what some deemed to be a cheap shot on a defenseless and inexperienced Cates. But the no contest ruling, meaning neither fighter won or lost, following a legal punch, has since been reversed.

Poker Pro Takes the "L"

Cates, a two-time World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner, came into the fight with no experience in the boxing ring, and the same can be said for his opponent who dominated the match from start until it was called off in the second round.
