Chrisean Rock Wins Split Decision in Debut as XRumble Main Event Ends in Officiating Dispute

Disputed calls in the three-round showcase have raised questions about officiating.

Overview

  • Rock defeated Zenith Zion by split decision in a three-round celebrity bout at Harrah’s in Chester, Pennsylvania on Saturday.
  • The fight swung on two flashpoints as Rock scored a clear first-round knockdown and a third-round knockdown was called against her that many viewers thought was a slip.
  • Reports conflicted on who refereed the main event, with outlets naming either Floyd Mayweather Sr. or Jeff Mayweather, and critics pointed to an extended count after Rock’s first knockdown.
  • Fatimah Mayweather, the sister of Floyd Mayweather Jr., won her debut in the co-main event, adding to concern about perceived ties as the Mayweather name featured on the card and in the ring.
  • XRumble sold the event exclusively on TrillerTV pay-per-view for $29.99 with replays, fan reaction split over the officiating, rematch talk grew, and Rock said she would take a short social media break.
