Former NFL and USC star Johnnie Morton returned to his former stomping grounds and promptly got stomped by Africa’s Bernard Ackah in 38 seconds of the first round. Morton lay unconscious for what seemed two minutes and left on a stretcher with his neck in a brace. He raised his fist as he was carried on a stretcher to an ambulance.
“Everything is ok,” said Armando Garcia, executive director for the California State Athletic Commission. “He was taken to the California Hospital for observation.”
Later, after most of the fights had been completed, Garcia said Morton refused to submit to a urine test required by the Commission.
“He (Morton) will not be paid and he is suspended indefinitely,” Garcia said. “He refused on the advice of his agent, whatever that means.”
