Don King, damn him, is right when he says Mayweather was supposed to be disqualified. It's a boxing rule that if your trainer enters the ring before the bell, then you are disqualified. If a trainer comes in the ring to save a fighter, they don't rule it a TKO, they rule it a DQ. Check out Tyson vs. McNeeley. Tyson floored McNeeley, and the Hurricane's trainers came in, ending the fight in a DQ instead of a knockout for Tyson. Zab will end up getting the win by DQ, which is bullshit. Roger Mayweather is an IDIOT.
ok it think its unfair the RJJ was DQed against griffen for two illeagal shots but not zab after he low blowed and as the ref was stepping in hit floyd in the back of the head. come on now. its one thing if PBF was dipping his head bc of a good body shot and zab mistakely hit him in the back of the head but he sized up the punch to the back of the head. but enough about that. what i think is the worst that is going to happen is that they will call the fight a no contest bc they did let the fight go on. than they will prolly fight again. i mean no one knew toney was on the roids until after the fight so you were able to give the fight to ruiz even a week later. but if not for anything it will be a NC and they will fight again in either augest or september.
Fuck all this chit chat and let Mayweather fight against more top level fighters. Zab should just go back to fighting no names for right now cuz from what I know he aint shit. He doesn't belong with the big doggz.
That will make boxing look terrible. Floyd won, I like Zab but hes not on the level of Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather proved that to me last night. Zab just isn't in the same class, hes a level below.
Why disqualify a guy who was on the receiving end of what incited the riot, and took no part in the riot whatsoever. Floyd did everything correctly, everyone else around him, the Judah camp included, didn't. You can't penalize Floyd for doing what he's supposed to.
Besides, Richard Steele also had the discretion to DQ Judah for committing two deliberate and blatant fouls within five seconds while getting pulverized
"under the rules of the Nevada Athletic Commission the Referee has the discretion to disqualify a fighter if a member of his corner team enters the ring, or to allow the fight to continue. "
the dicrection but not the obligation...

But... Judah's father also stepped into the ring, so they should call it a No Contest. I would prefer if they just keep W12 for PBF.
Yup that will be his first loss and a well earned victory for judah :)
Well earned eh? Losing to a nobody like Baldomir and gatting his ass kicked like an amature by PBF, sure well deserved.
I think that's gonna be the saving grace for Mayweather. The ref didn't call it. If the ref doesn't stop a guy on his feet, he isn't TKO'ed after all. Steele never ordered the DQ so it's the same as him missing a knockdown, etc. Mayweather should remain the winner, but I don't know. Some jackasses out there want a rematch. I think this was all planned anyway.
I hope they realize that the ref failed to call the fight a DQ and waive this bullshit off but b/c of all this controversy PBF might be forced into another fight with Judah which I don't want.
Umm the Toney fight was overturned a week later against Ruiz. What happened on those bets?
sterooids is different tho..if floyd were to lose his first fight bc of this it would be bullshit
Yeah that's right, isn't it the refs final word on everything?

actually it could only go down as a DQ if they change it. I don't know if they can change it if the ref doesn't call it though? I'm confused now

It could end up a NC fight, they'll fight again, Judah will get schooled yet again.
but it's a ridiculous waste of time. this fight is over and done with. fuck Roger and politics for messing this up. I wouldn't be surprised if that entire 10th round was scripted weeks ago
