Ross said on livestream that his team will investigate Saturday's Brand Risk 14 bout after Ray J's comments and Supa Hot Fire's uneven effort made the fight "look weird."
Round 1 drove the suspicion: DeWayne Stevenson largely circled and barely threw punches, then less than 30 seconds into Round 2 he opened up with combinations and stopped Ray J.
