Bowe vs Golota I aftermath question...

[JohnnyKickAss]

I've finally seen the fight and the mayhem that came after the disqualification...
And I just wanted to know if there were any consequences and if yes what they were...I mean were any of the rioters charged with a crime or did some heads roll from whoever was in charge for security...

Some of them got arrested. I don't know if they were charged though. Jim Lampley's daughter was missing, and Lou Duva almost died.

Jim Lampley was pretty shocked recommending Foreman for a medal for saving him (and Larry)from harm...whereas Larry was as cool as ever... Crazy stuff...

I remember seeing that live and man,I was so disgusted.No security and an absolute free for all....just alot of thugs jumping people and some seriously brutal s!!!.

The one thing that sticks with me Is The announce team and George Foreman standing there saying Saying "No son...Dont do that son...dont do it son ......." He was mostly off camera but I think he was basically shielding Merchant and Lampley.

A good case In point as to what an Influence the entourages and hanger-on's of the fighters can have in a professional contest.No need for 10-15 Rah-rah friends and belt carriers to be allowed in the ring at once.

This is a rule that should definitely be changed. There is no reason for dozens of people to be storming a ring when a fight ends.

The cornermen, the promoter, 1 or 2 family members.. I don't have a problem with them.

But there's no reason for the ring to be overflowing with people as soon as the fight ends. I've seen too many situations where a fighter gets knocked out, and the ring doctor has a hard time even looking at the hurt fighter, because there's a swarm of hangers-on who are flooding the ring and stumbling all over the place.

I think we all forget Larry is down for an all out in arena brawl ......All I remember hearing in the mic out of Foreman is "You don't want to do that son...Son you better step back son...I am telling you don't want to come over here"....I think whoever it was made the right choice not too

I think Rock Newman was fined big....Wasn't Rock eventually sespended from boxing?

That Merchant clip is obviously a classic, but does anyone actually know who that guy was and what created that whole situation? I'd love to know.

It was after Daniel Zargoza beat Wayne McCullough. I didn't see the fight, just remembering hearing it was contraversial. That guy was just some McCullough fan saying he was robbed.

Would have loved to see big George wail into some of those deluded punks.

On legandary nights, one of Bowes body guards said that he was arrested and it ruined his chance of becoming a police officer.

Which is good, because it was the dick that ran into the ring and hit Golota in the head with a walkie talky.

...

Officers looked back at the tapes and arrested about 20+. Including Bowes body guard as well i believe.

I was really shocked about the lack of security...Just comparing Lewis vs Tyson with this...I mean if they had a fraction of their security this wouldn't happened...
