Bear Hug Bouts End in Knockout on Freight Train

Martin challenged with a $30 stake, engaged the bear in a standing hug duel, and easily defeated the bear, sending the animal sprawling after a brief struggle. The incident concluded with the bear handler’s loss of the bet and the man escorting his satchels away.
