BOXNATION - CHISORA v SCOTT-O'SULLIVAN v SAUNDERS -Saturday Night Fight CHAT THREAD

[IamInuit]

Well, just caught it on another site.

He wasn't up even at 9. He started, initiated at 9 still in a down posture.. not erect stable on feet. It's 100 percent on him. Ref did his job.

I just cant agree. He may have taken a little long but that's his right and he was well up on the nine count and the ref was not on his way to ten. The ref was waving it off at the very point in time when he would have been saying 10 had Scott not been standing upright.

when the ref waved which could have been 9 and a half and not 10 he still wasnt totally up

i think he bottled it

if hed have been half way up at 9 and a half and telling the ref he wanted to go on and looking enthusiastic id have said it was very harsh

I'm not going to split hairs here. The man was up and upright with no wobbling at all at 9. Could have been 9.2 or 8.9

Many of these same refs will actually do a full ten count when a guy is planked and out cold. Why is that? Reffing needs an over haul as much as anything. Scott got stiffed and whether he would have won or Chisora was coming on is not relevant really. You could even tell by the refs face that he blew it.

he wasnt



as you can see when the ref waved he was only half way up

the ref possibly did wave a fraction of a second before 10
