San Antonio lightweight boxer Floyd Schofield on the mend after bizarre fight in Las Vegas
Just days after surviving a deep gash above his right eye and winning a foul-plagued, five-round fight by disqualification at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, San Antonio lightweight Floyd Schofield was surprised to find himself back in harm’s way upon his return home. With his head still throbbing from an accidental head butt during the fight – and the 12 stitches it took to close the cut in his right eyebrow – Schofield went toe-to-toe with a different kind of pain.
But I kept my composure. “I was like, ‘You’re not even going to listen to the ref?’” Suero answered seemingly the only way he knows – by fouling. Before he was done, Suero threw his shoulder into Schofield and hit on the break. “He was desperate,” said Michael Miller, Schofield’s manager and former co-manager of San Antonio legend “Jesse” James Leija. “He felt Floyd’s power and tried to change the subject.” Even though Schofield found a way to win, it came with a price.
