Kidd then claimed he was unable to continue fighting due to an injury he suffered after falling out of the ring.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Marco\u2019s manager\/head trainer John Brown immediately filed a protest requesting the \u201cNo Contest\u201d be changed to a well-deserved win for Romero. His challenge noted that the alleged injury was not the result of a foul, Romero was physically able and ready to continue the bout, and circumstances surrounding the fall and stoppage warranted further review.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m glad I got that win on my record,\u201d Romero said. \u201cI put in a lot of hard work in the gym, running and making sacrifices during training camp. I\u2019m happy the Kansas Athletic Commission took its time, watched the fight and made its ruling. The dude only came to pick up a paycheck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas Athletic Commission reviewed the incident and determined that Kidd&#8217;s injury from falling out of the ring was accidental, not caused by Romero. The bout was stopped by the ringside physician for medical reasons. Romero did not violate any rules and was capable of continuing the fight.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the Commissions review of circumstances and applicable regulations, the bout did not meet the threshold for a \u2018No Contest\u2019 ruling under Kansas law, as the injury did not arise from a rule violation or external interference.<\/p>\n<p>Considering these findings, the Kansas Athletic Commission ruled to overturn the original rules and amended it as an official recording as a Technical Knockout (TKO) victory in favor of Romero.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarco came to fight but his opponent wanted to play rugby, trying to run him over and tackle him,\u201d Brown commented. \u201cHis opponent hurt himself with these tactics and upon closer examination, the commission did the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romero\u2019s next scheduled fight is June 14 vs. Nafys Anas Garner in a 6-round super middleweight bout in Portland, Maine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
