Bradley - Campbell decision overturned

[spade]

Reversing a decision even a no contest is bad for boxing imo. What would be the purpose of 3 judges if their decision would be overruled after the fight.


It would be a slap on the face for the judges, promoters and to the boxers alike

But this has nothing to do with judges decisions, only the clearly erroneous ruling made by the referee. The commission (for once) made the right call.

Judges and referees are part of the fight, just like in football and basketball.


What will you do if the fight was stopped prematurely by a ref bec. he sensed the boxer will be hurt and that boxer filed for a reversal of decision siting he is fit to continue but was not given the opportuniy to do so?

Did you even watch the fight or know what actually happened??

The referee made a call that the cut was caused by a punch, replays CLEARLY showed it came from a butt, meaning a NC. This is completely different from the situation you suggested above.

Mate i've seen the fight and i'm saying this to all the fight before and the fights to come. There are so many fights the same as this and the decision stands after the fight ended and the decision was handed. Though the Commision decision was right, we should not always be looking at the replay and see the ref made a bad call.

That is in no way relevant to this discussion really. If a fighter protested a stoppage, it would have to be an incredibly obviously fraudulent move by the ref for the commission to even consider it and if that was the case I would hope that they did look into it. The two situations are in no way related other than that they both pertain to boxing.

Mate i got your point that this is an exceptional case and my concern is not related to this fight but i'm talking in general.

What should we do to the ref then who failed to see the real situation? Hey it's not your your fault that we reversed the decision because you get it wrong.

I agree with the Commission on this one but not on general fight that lasted the whole 12 rounds.

But the two situations cannot really be compared. They're completely dissimilar.

Football, basketball, and boxing are not the same sports. So therefore the rules must be different. But in football and basketball calls are commonly reversed due to instant replay. That is what happened here. There are no judges in football or basketball so that plays no similarity. In this fight the judges weren't even relevant. The rules are very clear. If the fight is stopped due to a cut caused by a headbutt before the 4th round completes then the fight is a no contest. That is exactly what took place and the replay backed it up with absolutely no doubt. Your analogy of a fighter being waved off by the referee's discretion has never and never will take place in an appeal. To win an appeal you must display absolute facts that have zero doubts. If you watch the Bradley/Campbell fight, knowing the rules, then this is not even an argument

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Spade, rules are rules.

The fight should of and thankfully was ruled a No-Contest.

IMO, Campell shouldn't be get the chance at a rematch. Bradley should just move on with his career.
