I'm not entirely sure how the ref could have dealt with it, because to disqualify Barker for throwing one punch when he had said "Stop", especially with a reflex punch like that one. It was a huge punch and Samuels had his hands down....wasn't he warned at the start to protect himself at all times? I'm sure someone with a better knowledge of the rules can tell me whether there was aother option for the ref than letting it stand though. Reckon samuels will stick around for more fights?
Not sure mate. It wasnt a loss in the truest sense and he was having a decent arguement with a good fighter. He is 30 odd though. I think the ref can either DQ Barker, call it a no contest or award him(Barker) the win, which he did. Personally I thought Parris was slow to call break, as soon as Barkers glove hit the deck he should have been on it, I think Samuels managed to try and get a couple more shots off before the call came.
