Artem Levin complains about refereeing after GLORY title fight draw with Simon Marcus

SAN DIEGO -- Artem Levin joked that the next time he steps into the GLORY ring, he's just going to take away a point from himself to start.

"I will say here, take my point away now so you don't need to do it later," the middleweight champion said through an interpreter Friday night at the GLORY 21 post-fight press conference.

Levin and Simon Marcus fought to a majority draw in the main event of the card at Valley View Casino Center. Levin retained his title, but that didn't mean he was happy with the result. Referee Marcos Rosales took a point away from the Russian in the third round for clinching.
