I got Roger's back

[TaxanBaller]

I dont blame Roger Mayweather for sticking up for his nephew, i would have done the same thing. Yoel and Jab were the ones who threw punches. Would Floyd sr. have goten into it if he was there?

[Medina]

man i dont think he should of jumped into the ring. yes he has every right to complain, but he could of easily ended the whole fight by doing that. stupid move out of anger. he had the red mist in his eyes.

he could of handled the situation better IMO.

I have not seen it (I am British), but something perhaps similar happened a few years back in a Hatton fight. Hatton was pounding Steve Smith, when Smiths trainer and father Darkie stormed the ring, claiming a foul.

Smith was immediately dq'd and Darkie was given a long ban, if not a life time ban....

But I guess i will have to watch Mayweather/Judah first to see if it is similar.

Perhaps a couple of people who have seen both Hatton/Smith and Judah/Mayweather can give their take on the similarity?

I remember the Hatton incident. I've not seen lst night's fight yet but in the case of Darkie, he actually pushed the referee as well which probably didn't help his cause.

To be fair though, if you are a referee then disqualifying Stephen Smith, a relative nobody whose already getting the shat kicked out of him is a much easier decision than disqualifying the p4p number 1 superstar in the world, when he's on his way to victory and yet another world title.

imagine being the ref who made THAT call

Exactly.. I havent seen the Hatton fight but there's no need to Bilbo already pointed out the difference.. Judah was getting seriously beat down in that round, and he completely intentionally threw both those fouls.. IMO the rabbit punch was far worse and obviously deliberate... PLus the ref called a timeout after the foul happened.. So Roger never actually interrupted the action. Im sure that's a key difference as well. Marc Ratner( Nevada athletic commissioner) said that a DQ would have been entirely up to Richard Steel and since he didn't call one there won't be. Also he then said that since there was a timeout called after the fouls Roger never actually violated any rule or warranted a DQ by entering the ring.

Well maybe.... But maybe DKP will take NSAC to court to clarify... unless of course Top Rank is ready to give options to DKP on Mayweather Jr, which it looks like, is the main reasoning behind Kings outburst

Yeah, and probably John Ruiz will be close behind him taking notes for future reference

Lol, maybe Ruiz can get that '0' back yet

Roger Mayweather acted like an idiot...

Roger Mayweather acted like an idiot...

I suspect Roger Mayweather acted like an 'Uncle' for a split second, much like Darkie acted like a father

Roger got flashbacks of Chavez once Yoel chin checked him and it was like a 1 inch slap that barely nicked his chin and he stumbled like a drunk

LOL, Roger was chinny back in 85; I would fancy my chances today.... providing he had his hands tied together behind his back.... I think

Yea, watch the first 10 seconds of the 7th round and you will see the start of the Judah dance, just a shorter version of it before he held on, he did recover quickly though. as did Roger and he's not is his prime like Zab
