Viloria-Contreras bout investigated

LOS ANGELES » The California State Athletic Commission will investigate the boxing match in which Mexican flyweight Ruben Contreras quit fighting in the sixth round, suffered a seizure and needed brain surgery.

The commission has requested a tape of last Saturday's fight between Contreras and Waipahu's Brian Viloria from promoter Top Rank Boxing and will review the event round by round.

Contreras, of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, stopped fighting in the sixth round and complained of a headache. He had the seizure less than 10 minutes after the bout ended.

The 32-year-old Contreras had surgery to relieve pressure from bleeding on his brain. Doctors are hopeful the surgery was performed quickly enough to avoid permanent damage.

"We're just going to watch the tape and determine if all procedures were followed, try to determine if there was anything we could have done differently," Dean Lohuis, chief inspector for the commission, said yesterday. "We're not saying anything was improper. It's just our procedure when this kind of incident occurs."
