No change in the ruling of Thompson-Arvin?

[SigmaMu]

Unfortunately, the ruling stands.

The only state that currently allows instant replay, is New Jersey. But it will only be used if the promoter provides the equipment, and makes the request for it to be used for a fight in advance.

I think because they have no such rule on their books, and because the ref did not see it at the time that it happened, they have to go with the refs decision, even though ESPN provided the proof. They can't reverse a decision, when their governering body has no rule as to the use of instant replay in their guidelines.

It's unfortunate though.

Knowin this, which they should, why all the drama? I mean it was a waste of time exactly because of the things you pointed out. So why as fans were we expecting anything different? The fight was not in Jersey and Waleed was just doing his job,.. but in todays age, INSTANT REPLAY should be mandatory especially if the fights are being televized, that is just pure basic common sense. We need McCain! If I were Thompson, I still would have hit someone out of anger, frustration and disgust. lol
