Toney Rahman decision was terrible

[Kev]

That was a fucking awful decision I've never seen that happen before.

It was unquestionably a headbutt that caused the damage so I can't see how Toney got the decision

I have no doubt it will get overturned and called a no contest within a week but that was a really poor decision.

What do you guys think?

[Gandalf]

It was shady.

Toney was coming on and beginning to batter Rahman. But, yes, rules are rules and they should be adhered to.

[No Contest]

Rahman kept looking at Toney like "Damn your fucking me up"..that headbutt was part his fault too...he kept saying I couldnt see those rights. I think that has more to do with him being slow than the cut.

[Violent Demise]

I had no problem with the descision. The cut wasn't bad enough to warrant a stoppage. Rahman quit before the docotor even asked him anything. He could of fought on. But after that 3rd round it was obvious he was looking for a way out

[CutMeMick]

I've seen worst decisions so to be honest it doesn't surprise me...

[antimoron]

This is supposed to be a no contest isn't it? Correct me if i'm wrong.. isn't it if w/in 4 rounds, the rule is to declare no contest if 1 fighter can't continue due to technical reason like this case by accidental headbutt. The only fault i see is that if Rahman himself decides to quit before the doctors decision to stop the fight. If this is the case then the decision should be correct.

I'll 2nd that.

Fu*k Rahman who wants to see that chump fight again anyway. By getting out then he only avoided the inevitable IMO

[Wayne]

It seemed like the doc was saying because Rahman said he couldn't see that that was his reasoning for stopping the fight. Plenty guys have fought on one-eyed (Lamon Brewster anyone) and it was the doc's responsibility to ask directly if Rahman wanted to continue. Rahman shares a little of the blame for being so vague before the fight was called. Either you wanted to continue or you didn't. That being said, if the doc made the determination that the fight had to be stopped it's a No-Contest. As much as I wanted Toney to be the winner, he didn't win. And what was with that explanation from the ref? He only makes the call for the fight to be stopped and not what the final decision is? If that's true then why did Ray Corona at first call it a No-Contest and then it was ruled a TKO? No, this should be reversed. But I DON'T want to see them go at it a 3rd time.
