| San Jose, Ca -- Miller Lite Fight Night at the Tank played by the
rules of the boxing state athletic regulations
Thursday night when Ricardo Cortes earned a
disqualification to Errol Banner in their super

The bout began with even trading of power
blows and jabs from both fighters, but in the 7th
round, Cortes landed an illegal blow to the back
of the head of Banner. The injured fighter
