Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
judah was punched on top of the head while going for a body shot. not intentional imo. His follow up punch was exactly that... a follow up punch. you might as well get mad at PBF punching Gatti while he was talking to the ref if you wanna follow that logic. If this fight did anything, it proved to me that PBF is far from unbeatable and that his corner is a bunch of thugs. Did hattons corner do that against Kostya? No. Did Kostya's corner do that against hatton after Ricky knocked his nuggets out his mouth? no. DQ. Rematch. Zab wins early.
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
beautifull point there, he WAS hit while throwing the shot that eventually landed as a low blow, and that could have EASILY changed the trajectory of wherever it was supposed to go

Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
Mayweather displayed remarkable talent and composure to systematically outclassed and outboxed Zab. During the melee he remained calm, while Zab resorted to his uncontrolled and expected behavior. The only person should have been disqualified is Roger, which they did, and suspended from training, and which they did.
This is a pathetic petition and should be removed. I should start a petition to remove this stupid petition. Whoever started or signed this petition is obviously blinded by the chicken dude. No boxing sense.

Ratner said Nevada rules don't call for an immediate disqualification.
"I read the rule with my attorney general and, to paraphrase it, it says a referee 'may' disqualify a fighter if someone from his corner enters the ring," Ratner said. "There is no automatic disqualification. It may be that way in some states, but the rule is not written like that in the Nevada statutes. Richard could have disqualified him, but he and I and my commissioners talked about it and he was not disqualified.
"There could have been points deducted because of Zab's low blow and the blow behind the head. You could have had a double disqualification because of the other side [Yoel Judah] also coming into the ring and throwing punches. But if we did that, you might have had a full-scale problem in the arena."
Steele, a veteran referee who has seen his share of ring controversies, said he didn't feel a disqualification was warranted.
"Disqualification is at our discretion and we didn't want to see the fight end like that," he said. "The fighters didn't do anything to get disqualified, and you have to think about the sport and the fans. I think we did a good job. We got the situation under control and we got the fight to its natural conclusion, and we let the fans get their money's worth."

good points but you missed a few things
A) When you step into the ring if you're not a boxer, you are fair game since it is protect yourself at all times, which means from anyone.
B) If it IS true that Roger choked Zab, as much as I hate Don King's influence on things, he will win the case. What about that rule about an ungloved person attacking the boxer during or in the flow of the boxing match. if Roger choked Zab then Don will win this case as much as I hate Don King

According to Bob Arum, the Nevada commision had the OPTION to DQ PBF. They elected not to, and I'm glad. Roger's jumping in the ring did not affect the fight.

Sorry, but Don King ain't winning sh@# here. Roger could have shanked Judah and the commission wouldn't overturn the victory. The only thing that will overturn a win is a positive drug test. All you have to know is the history of boxing to figure that out.
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
didn't Don King do this before?
the Meldrick Taylor Cesar Chavez fight?
he said "There is no controversy because steele had the second option of disqualifying Taylor's corner for getting in the ring or on the apron" or something like that?
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
I read the real reason why this decision will never be overturned. The millions of dollars that were bet on PBF and won by bettor's has already been paid.
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
the 119-109 scorecard ensured that.
BABABOOEY what did you think of that scorecard?
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
I ain't signing SH__!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hmmmm.... If Mayweather has a loss on his record, by disqualification.
The parrallels to Roy Jones' career are astounding. :detective:
Re: SIGN THE PETITION TO OVERTURN MAYWEATHER JUDAH
119-109 was incorrect. Judah clearly won rds 1,2 and 4. He possibly won rd 12.
At worst the score shoulda been 116-112.
