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

[erics44]

It shouldn't have been stopped. He was up before 10 plain and simple. Scott is stupid and should have got up earlier but 10 hadn't been reached. The joke is if u get up at 8 u get another 5 or 6 seconds anyway as the ref checks you.

no he wasnt, he was up at 10 (and even thats debateable)

the question in all this isnt whether or not he was up, the question is should the ref have let it continue

he wasnt up at 10 so perhaps the answer is no as those are the rules, but i dont think anyone would have argued if he had have let it go

[Mark TKO]

Let's put this in perpective here

If Scott wasn't up then Balboa wasn't up in 79 at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Had he not made that then many of our lives would not have been defined.

Rematch for Scott

that would make for a rather crap six movie franchise, as we follow him being a tomato can for novices to beat, and eventually he descends into being an enforcer for a small time gangster.

I don't fault the ref at all! When you're taking a count, you ALWAYS start getting up at 8. By the count of 10, you need to be standing up, alert, and ready to continue.

If you want to be a stupid ass like Malik and start getting up at 9 and a half, you're going to get counted out. He has nobody to blame but his own stupid ass.

He looked like a guy who didn't want to continue and was happy getting counted out until 9 1/2

[El Kabong]

Here's the deal, the ref was counting Malik was alert and all resting on his knee, but he didn't make the move to get up until 8. Get up at 7 you'll get a STANDING 8 count anyway.

Who was winning up to that point?
