monaco1On the evening of July 13, 2013, Their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene of Monaco arrived at the Salle des Etoiles in Monte-Carlo to attend the Million Dollar Super Four Final boxing match.

The lovely princely couple along with hundreds of attendees clapped and cheered as Khabib Allahkhverdiev of Russia and Souleymane M’Baye of France beat the living crap out of each other until they were both black, blue, and incredibly bloody for the WBA & IBO Super Lightweight World Title.

So who won the fight (by the way, I hate boxing.  It’s a stupid “sport”)? Khabib Allakhverdiev in the 11th round.
