Anyone seen this before? As happened tonight when Graham Eark fought Katsidis, Earl was taking a beating and his corner threw in the towel only for the ref Mickey Vann to throw it back out and let the fight continue. Seconds later Earl knocked Katsidis down. Ive never seen a ref do this before and just wondered if anyone had?
Also I couldnt help thinking what if the worst had happened and Earl was seriously hurt after the incident, how would Mickey Vann have felt then?
That was a amazing!!
Micky Vann is an experienced ref and it appears he got it right!!
He can see their eyes and if they are slightly concussed, the corner man cant!

Fucking amazing, the first round gave me an erection, the second round I shot my load
Did he get it right? At the time Id say yes but the fight still ending with Earl quitting on his stool, who knows a fighter better than his own corner?Quote:

The ref did it the Erik Morales-Eddie Croft fight a couple of years ago. The corner threw it in the second round. The ref just picked it up and threw it back out. There's no rule that says a ref has to stop the fight if the corner throws in the towel. If he thinks the fighter can still continue, than he won't acknowledge the towel.Quote:

Earl was never going to win this fight and that was evident from round one.
Imagine if Jay Nady had not stopped the Tszyu v Judah fight.
Could you imagine the damage that would have been done to Judah if it went into a third round!!
Zab Judah owes his life to Jay Nady.
Id have him in hospital for the night for observation thats for sure
anyone got any video?
The reason is that ONLY the referee can stop the fight!
If you throw in the towel or enter the ring your fighter will be disqualified. Loss by DQ same as if you jumped into the ring and held
the opponents arms down or hit him.
BUT usually the ref takes it as a signal and then stops the fight.
It depends on the particular rules, sometimes only the ref, sometimes the ref and doctor can stop the fight. The ref in question probably didn't like being "told" by a corner man when to end the fight.
Comments?
I think had Earl waltzed across the ring like Zab did then Vann would have stepped in. As it was the man was centre ring trading shots and just about to land his punch of the night. Its easy now to say that Earl never looked like winning (I agree with you, he looked wrong from the start) but with the benifit of hindsight he wouldnt have fought at all ;)Quote:

Fair enough Kat was landing clearly more shots and the power behind them was amazing, but he wasn't far from losing that fight
still hats off to both men what a performance they gave, did you say that bulge of swelling on earls left eye (Ouch)
that 2nd round was the round of the year so far! it also gave me an erection Bilbo! hahaha was a good set of fights. LOL at Audley!
Vann was proved correct, he threw out the towel then within 30 seconds Earl knocked Katsidis down. Excellent refereeing, Earl's eyes were clear, he was ready to fight.
