Action from saturday. Euro 140 lbs title fight Lauri-Tolppola in Finland.
The fight was ill tempered from start to finnish. Tolppola has had 2 points deducted when this happens:
Some replays on Tolppola's dad on a rampage:
It was a terrible blow for Finnish boxing. The crowd got really angry and started throwing things in the ring and yelled profanities at the referee and Tolppola's opponent.
The Sauerland's were there to witness everything and seemed quite shocked at what was going on (Holyfield on the other hand got a laugh out of it). I guess this means that there will be no more big time fights in Finland.
the ref is Howard Foster, he is English and a bit shit to be honest
I didn't see the fight but what I'm hearing is that the one boxer fought like a coward and used illegal tactics throughout the fight and was warned several times before the ref dq'd him. And I'm glad when refs dq shitty fighters like that, theirs no need for intentional headbutts, or intentional elbows in a boxing fight. Go fight in mma if you like crappy garbage like that.
That queer of a dad attacked the ref!!! Because his son is a lousy boxer and cheats and fights dirty? Good going queer daddy-o sticking up for your son who fights like a bitch!
i dont blame the dad,that ref needs to get fired not unless the loser was doing that quite lot....how about taking a point...
According to this report by Per Åke Persson 3 points had already been deducted from Tolppola:
"Italian Giuseppe Lauri defended the EU jr welter title with a controversial tenth round disqualification win over Finn Juhu Tolppola after a hardfought, foul-filled, messy fight. Tolppola was "up" for this fight but partly blew it already at the end of the first when he headbutted Lauri. That resulted in a two-point deduction from British referee Howard Foster. Another point was taken in the sixth for either holding or low blows. Finally, in the tenth Foster dq:d Tolppola, behind on points on all three cards. For my money Lauri was just as guilty as Juho but committed his "crimes" in a slicker, more polished way and when the Finn retaliated he became the guilty one. A bad break for Tolppola, who´s improved but needs a colder head."
His dad is a moron, I guess his dad won't be allowed to attend any more fights of his son. Hell, he might be banned from boxing events period after that kind of stunt.
