Toney Rahman decision was terrible

[saturday_kid]

Here in the UK if a fighters unable to continue on doctors orders even if the cuts from a headclash it goes down as a defeat and win for his opponent, no no contests here, most stupid rule!!

Yeah that's correct and I think it's a rule that needs changing.

Did you see Wayne Elcock against Darren McDermott a couple weeks back. McDermott, the challenger easily won the first round and was winning the second when there was a nasty clash of heads. The fight was immediately stopped and Elcock was declared the winner.

That sucked imo, completely unfair to McDermott who was bossing the fight in those early stages.

Nobody likes to see no contests but I belive fighters need to be protected, not just from injury but from unintentional fouls and accidents losing them the fights.

Rahman should have either been told he had to fight on or else forfiet, or if he couldn't carry on, the result should have been a no contest.

Yeah mate was actually at that fight & was gutted (mcdermott is from near me) a young(ish) fighter loses his undefeated record for nothing he has done at all. Certainly needs to be changed imo common sense isn't it.
