Skylar Lacy lays on top of Brandon Moore after forcing him through the ropes with his body weight in a co-main event USBA heavyweight title boxing match during the Super Fight Sunday event featuring nine fights on Sunday, Feb. 2, 2025 at Dort Financial Center in Flint. Brandon Moore claimed the vacant IBF/USBA mens heavyweight title in bizarre fashion. Moore was the aggressor throughout the match, landing shots and dealing with Lacys constant hugging. First, the heavyweights knocked a cameraman off the ring in the third round, as Lacy hugged Moore to the ropes. After being deducted two points, Lacy then caused the premature end to the match in the eighth round when he basically shot for a takedown and flew outside the ring with Moore. Referee Ansel Stewart called both fighters to re-enter the ring, but Lacy stayed motionless on top of the table with Moore trapped underneath them. Stewart disqualified Lacy for unsportsmanlike conduct, and Moore returned to the ring to be crowned the new IBF/USBA mens heavyweight champion.
