No man, it honestly sounds like it's the other way around here.

That would have been a cheap way for Zab to get out of that fight. It's not like it effected the fight. The clock was stopped. Floyd was given 5 minutes to recover from the low blow. The ring was cleared and the fight was started well before the 5 minutes was up. Roger was punished. He was ejected from ringside and that's who deserved to be punished. Roger didn't hurt Zab's chances of winning so there is no reason that he should have been awarded the victory.

I agree the suspension was stiff. But it was his second offense and he went after one of the cornerman. And the low blow and the blow to the back of the head was bad. That deserved a point deduction imo.

Why would a boxing fan want a fight to be called early when the situation in no way effected the outcome of the fight? That's not HBO man. That's common sense. Did Richard Steele ever confer with HBO or the powers that be? I think not. He made the right call. You don't like Floyd, that's fine, but as a boxing fan you shouldn't be wanting to dig deep to find him losses. That's not right...
